Make it easier to edit wikis without needing to know wikitext (Community Wishlist/W90/en)
Under review
Description
I'm a new Wikipedia editor. Although it's possible to edit articles using VisualEditor, its functionality is much more limited than source editing. As a busy person in real life who doesn't know computer code, it takes a lot of time to fully learn how to edit source code. I hope that Wikipedia organizers can consider ways to reduce the learning curve or optimize VisualEditor to make it easier to use. Of course, the same problem applies to other wiki platforms besides Wikipedia. Details are as follows:
- I would like to see a public "template library" when adding templates to an article so that editors can choose one to use.
- Visual editing is not available when editing map modules in an article. You can only edit the source code by searching for keywords such as "map", "location", etc.
- Some articles use data from Wikidata. When I first encountered this and wanted to modify it, I searched the article's source code for a long time but couldn't find a relevant keyword. Later, I learned that I needed to visit Wikidata to edit the original data so that the data in Wikipedia could synchronize.
