  • Given the amount of glitches, inconsistencies, and extra work for admins and users alike that the Visual Editor Mode, also called the Rich Text Editor or RTE is causing lately, it has been proposed to "forbid" its use in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki, in order to improve the quality of each and every edit. Most of us have it turned off , but there a few contributors that still use it, and they are occasionally, and quite unintentionally, creating a mess in the codes of pages, even deleting them entirely, as with Coulson's article earlier today. There are many reasons the visual mode is messing with this wiki, just to mention a few... *Entire pages are unintentionally deleted when making even minor edits, just as with the Coulson example listed above. *Galleries are messed up, removing literally hundreds of images for trying to add one or two images, leaving to the people who notice the removal to fix it. *It displays things as they are styled on the wiki. One example of this is the use of unneeded piped links, presented as Iron Man, with the space written as "& nbsp;", unnecessarily expanding the coding size of a page, which results on making some pages impractical for users with slow internet connections, or increasing the amount of datastream that users accessing from mobile devices have to pay to their companies. *Infobox templates automatically disable the source mode if Visual Mode is used, in order to add the template. However, for source mode users, the new template is seen as a single line, making it extra difficult to see if there are any missing or misplaced fields. It happens the same when a new field is added to an existing template *One of the things that are difficult to locate is the frequent replacement of ordinary wikilinks with an HTML URL link to a page. The RTE likes to do this:S.H.I.E.L.D.when it should beS.H.I.E.L.D.It is not done every time, but it is done usually enough to be a concern, as the whole point of a wiki is the manipulation of relational links, and its tools
  • I was thinking about making userboxes and a page for those userboxes on the MCU Wiki. Userboxes are templates you add to your userpage for things you like.
