Add toolbar for mobile web's source editor (Community Wishlist/W555)

Proposed wish
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

View all wishes.

Description

A toolbar is long needed, especially for mobile users preferring the wikitext/source editor on the mobile web. Totally worried that, since the enwiki community unanimously favored switching to VisualEditor for mobile web, this wish would be either one of least prioritized tasks or totally ignored. The task on Phabricator was created eleven years ago without much further progress.

Support Would also love to see syntax highlighting, as mobile source editing is currently very visually unappealing. Axolitl (talk) 21:49, 28 July 2026
Support It is ridiculous that the mobile source editor does not have any toolbar at all. Hakimi97 (talk) 04:42, 1 August 2026
