Description Amir E. Aharoni 2013-06-15 16:51:11 UTC
The preference "Use the wikitext editor for editing sections while VisualEditor is in beta" should be enabled by default.

More generally, users have the option to use or not to use the VisualEditor at the top of the page, but not at the section level. Some users in the Hebrew Wikipedia complained that it's disruptive, and I agree with them.

Another possibility is to have two section edit links, like it is at the top of the page.

Agreed that having two links would be super. Visual editor for section-editing by default is driving me crazy on the English Wikipedia.
Comment 2 James Forrester 2013-06-26 20:48:05 UTC
In the end we've gone with a solution to have both links, as requested, so closing this option on the default as INVALID (the option itself doesn't make any sense given the change in the product design).
Comment 3 Amir E. Aharoni 2013-06-29 21:40:01 UTC
Thanks. I like the chosen solution.
