VisualEditor Newsletter—February 2014
You can easily re-use references by going to the Insert menu, choosing "Reference", and clicking on "Use an existing reference" in the lower left corner. A list of all references, their numbers, and their ref names (if any) will be shown. You can search the list for any author, title, date, or other keyword. Read the user guide for more information.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has worked on some small changes to the user interface, such as moving the reference item to the top of the Insert menu, as well as some minor features and fixing bugs, especially for rich copying and pasting of references.
The biggest change was the addition of more features to the image dialog, including the ability to set alignment (left, right, center), framing options (thumbnail, frame, frameless, and none), adding alt text, and defining the size manually. There is still some work to be done here, including a quick way to set the default size.
- The main priority is redesigning the reference dialog, with the goal of providing autofill features for ISBNs and URLs and streamlining the process. Current concept drawings are available at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog. Please share your ideas about making referencing quick and easy with the designers.
- A few bugs in the existing reference dialog were fixed. The toolbar was simplified to remove galleries and lists from the reference dialog. When you re-use references, it now correctly displays the references again, rather than just the number and name. If you paste content into a dialog that can't fit there (e.g.
==section headings==in references), it now strips out the inappropriate HTML. - You can now edit image galleries inside VisualEditor. At this time, the gallery tool is a very limited option that gives you access to the wikitext. It will see significant improvements at a later date.
- The character inserter tool in the "Insert" menu is being redesigned. Your feedback on the special character inserter is still wanted, especially if you depend on Wikipedia's character inserters for your normal editing rather than using the ones built into your computer.
- You can now see a help page about keyboard shortcuts in the page menu (three bars next to the Cancel button) (T54844).
- If you edit categories, your changes will now display correctly after saving the page (T50560).
- Saving the page should be faster now (T61660).
- Any community can ask to test a new tool to edit TemplateData by leaving a note at T53734.
Looking ahead: The link tool will tell you when you're linking to a disambiguation or redirect page. The warning about wikitext will hide itself after you remove the wikitext markup in that paragraph. Support for creating and editing redirects is in the pipeline. Looking further out, image handling will be improved, including default and upright sizes. The developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments, some behavioral magic words like DISPLAYTITLE, and in-line language setting (dir="rtl").
If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you! Whatamidoing (WMF) 04:21, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Madurai Nayak dynasty, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Tamil and Telugu (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Revisions
Is there a reason why you decided to undo my edits on Republic Day (India) and Sundar Pichai when I clearly stated that the links provided were not a reliable source? -SFK2 (talk) 11:18, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- @SFK2: I don't agree with you that we should delete a reference if it is not reliable. Instead we should add more references that are reliable.--Wikiuser13 (talk | contribs) 11:26, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Your revert
Hello Wikiuser 13, thank you for your contributions in 2006 Mangalore riots but I realise that your revert [17] is not appropriate as per WP:ORPHAN If any article links atleast one existing article then we can de-list the orphan tag from that article. Thank you again. I'm going to undone your revert. If I'm wrong then please ping me. Regards. Jim Cartar (talk) 11:11, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- OK, you are right.--Wikiuser13 (talk | contribs) 11:15, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for your understanding. I have observed that few of your reverts were opposed by some editors. I prefer you should have a look on WP:EW and WP:Three revert rule. Thank you. Jim Cartar (talk) 11:46, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
