== Inserting/deleting newlines spuriously ==
It appears that wikEd sometimes inserts or deletes a newline in the edit window. Typical scenario is as follows:
#you copy and paste something in the edit window
#you see that there is e.g. one empty line in the edit window
#after you save the changes and edit the article again, you find out that there are ''two'' empty lines (or ''no'' empty lines) where there used to be one

This happens in Google Chrome, never in Firefox. Do you know what might be the reason? I'm suspecting a Webkit bug... [[User:GregorB|GregorB]] ([[User talk:GregorB|talk]]) 22:38, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

:Funny, it happened without a copy/paste, just as I was writing this. See the diff to the previous edit. [[User:GregorB|GregorB]] ([[User talk:GregorB|talk]]) 22:40, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

== Incremental find in Google Chrome ==

Incremental find does not work right in Google Chrome (wikEd 0.9.75, Chrome 1.0.154.48). Here's how to reproduce:

#Go to e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Cacycle/wikEd&action=edit this page]
#In the wikEd search box, type letter by letter: <tt>wiked</tt>
#Notice that with each keypress the focus jumps to the ''next'' word matching the entered string, instead of staying on the same word. So, typing "wiked" gets you to the ''fifth'' instance of the word in the edit window, instead of the first.
This works as expected in Firefox 3. [[User:GregorB|GregorB]] ([[User talk:GregorB|talk]]) 14:13, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:: Thanks for reporting, I will check into this (might be a tricky one...) 23:36, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

== Basic fixes breaks CATSORT ==

When I use the single check button, it removes the space following the pipe in a Category link on an article that is supposed to be at the top of its category (e.g., <nowiki>"[[Category:History of Louisville, Kentucky| ]]" --> "[[Category:History of Louisville, Kentucky|]]"</nowiki>). It took me a while to realize this as the diff before saving is nearly identical, but if the space isn't reinserted before saving, the link is saved as with the page title inserted after the pipe.  This screws up the sorting in the category and it would be helpful if you could get the script to skip fixing spaces following a pipe in category links. I realize it must be wikimedia software adding the pagename after the pipe when saving—causing the discrepancy between diffs before and after saving—but tweaking the script would prevent accidental changes to the sorting.

== Possible Firefox 3.6 bug? ==

I've been using Firefox 3.6 for a while, and I've had a problem with the search function. When I type a letter in the search box, my cursor jumps to the first occurrence of that letter. When I click again in the search box and type a second letter, the cursor jumps to the first occurrence of that two-letter combination; and so on.

I don't see this behavior in Firefox 3.5.7, but I'm not 100% positive every extension and setting is the same between the two installations.

== wikEd adds 2 return characters at the top of the page ==

wikEd has always done some weird doubling of return characters when typing a return character or pasting something in the page, but I just turn of wikEd for a second paste it in and turned it back on, no problem. But recently, don't know exactly when, wikEd started to ad two return characters at the top of the page, this is extremely annoying as the only way to get rid of them, since they don't show initially, is to do a full preview (not inline) which then reveals them, so I can see them, if I just delete them them there, they're not gone. Removing them, deactivating wikEd, and reactivating it just makes them pop up again. The only way is to remove them, preview the page again and then it's only one, and then I can remove that one too. Editing a page and saving it in one turn is out of the question at this point. This is, as you can imagine, extremely annoying as it adds a blank space at the top of the page. I use Mac OS X 10.6, Safari 4.0.4 (6531.32.10), no changes on my end as far as I can remember.

== Bug with preview of <nowiki><syntaxhighlight lang="xxx"> ... </syntaxhighlight></nowiki> construct ==

Before I get to that bug, WikiEd refuses to load when I click on the New Section tab on the discussion page. So I will create this section and then edit it. ("Loading error - wikiEd 0.9.90a G (January 15, 2010) Click to disable" in browser Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12)

When the <code><nowiki><syntaxhighlight lang="xxx"> ... </syntaxhighlight></nowiki></code> construct is used, wikiEd does not show the syntax coloring in its preview unless Wikipedia’s built-in Preview function is used to preview the page first (and this preview contains a <nowiki><syntaxhighlight lang=""></nowiki> block in the same language as the wikiEd preview). Here’s a sample (from [[Rm (Unix)#User-Proofing]]):

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
if [ -n "$PS1" ] ; then
  rm () 
  { 
      ls -FCsd "$@"
      echo 'remove[ny]? ' | tr -d '\012' ; read

== Edit summary ==

I am using WikEd with Safari and I have a problem with the edit summary field. When I go to edit a page the editor comes up with WikEd, however, this particular field is off the screen to the far left requiring me to scroll over to type a summary and then scroll back to the right to click save.

== Edit-window view of italics within links ==

(wikEd version: 0.9.90b G; browser id: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; el; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7)

Although they work just fine when previewing or saving a page, italics within links do not show properly within the edit window. For example, writing <code><nowiki>[[Italics (film)|''Italics'' (film)]]</nowiki></code> ought to show as <code><nowiki>[[Italics (film)|''</nowiki>''Italics''<nowiki>'' (film)]]</nowiki></code>, but instead shows as <code><nowiki>[[Italics (film)|''Italics'' </nowiki>''(film)''<nowiki>]]</nowiki></code>. It is a rather odd reversal.

Note: although the above text is admittedly rather more complicated than regular syntax, it also displays erroneously: it interprets the (real) closing apostrophes for the second example link's ''Italics'' as opening apostrophes for the rest of my message. It seems to be the same problem: a confusion between opening and closing apostrophes.

== wikEd options don't work with the beta ==

I tried the wikEd beta. My wikEd options don't work with it, apparently. [[User:Gary King/config.js|Here they are]] if you want to take a look. They do indeed work with the current wikEd, though. Also, regarding wikEd beta, the buttons that appear to represent hidden templates and references on a Mac in Firefox have text that is a bit too small to read. It looks like they are using {{bcode|1=<input>}}, as they look just like how buttons are formatted in Firefox on a Mac. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Gary King|<span style="color: #02b;">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></span>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Gary King|<span style="color: #02e;">talk</span>]])</font> 22:47, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
: The new wikEd version has a completely new highlighting system, therefore several of the old css styles do no longer work.

== Diff takes 3-4 minutes to load ==

I've got the latest version of Firefox, not using any odd skins, Core 2 Duo laptop.

It looks like the system responds again after 3 to 4 minutes, and the diff appears to be correct.

== Would you consider making the duplicate edit notices optional? ==

I know you explained further up the page (October) that you do it on purpose so that people will see the edit notices even though the focus moves to the main edit box, but getting it to line up right is pretty hit or miss, and for pages with long editnotices it means scrolling down through two or three more screens to get to the edit box.  Obviously it's just a minor annoyance, nothing major, but since this is a behavior you added with a particular piece of code I would think it would be easy to disable.  -- ''<B>[[User:Soap|Soap]]</B>'' <sup>[[User talk:Soap|Talk]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/Soap|Contributions]]</sub> 13:32, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

==  wikiEd on wikia (3) ==

Wikia made [http://trac.wikia-code.com/changeset/18104/wikia/trunk/skins/Monaco.php this change], and now there's another <nowiki><ul></nowiki> element inside #wikia_header, making the wikEd icon go inside there, and not being shown (because of the special style that ul element has).

The logo should go inside #userData, but the way it's done you can't define #userData for the mocaco skin, because that's the ID of the <nowiki><ul></nowiki> element, and your code gets the <nowiki><ul></nowiki> with a getElementsByTagName, not picking the current element. You should do that instead:

<syntaxhighlight lang="JavaScript">
if (logoContainer.tagName == 'UL') {
	list = logoContainer;
} else {
	list = logoContainer.getElementsByTagName('ul')[0];
}
</syntaxhighlight>

Also, at the next line you evaluate <nowiki>if (list != null )</nowiki>, and firefox accessing a getElementsByTagName( ... )[0] when there's an empty array evaluates it as undefined and not null. It probably should never occur, though.

[http://img689.imageshack.us/i/wikiawikednodetree.png/ Here] you can view the DOM node tree of the wikia skin, where it's currently loaded the WikEd icon and where it should be placed (at the end of the bottom list) --[[User:Ciencia Al Poder|Ciencia Al Poder]] ([[User talk:Ciencia Al Poder|talk]]) 17:25, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

== References segregator vs. wikEd beta ref hiding ==

I have written an [[User:PleaseStand/References segregator|alternative script to hide refs]], since wikEd Beta doesn't work on Firefox 3.6 yet. It really doesn't hide refs completely, but rather it takes a simpler approach that works with plain text boxes: it replaces the first occurrence of a ref with the short code as if it were already used. Then it puts the ref's old code in a box below the main edit box. I have tested the final script on several featured articles and [[Comparison of Windows and Linux]] and with no changes to the textboxes, it does not affect the page (doesn't change the citation style on other editors unnecessarily). For more details (including how it handles unnamed refs), you will have to read the documentation and the script itself (the latter both includes informative comments and passes JSLint). The script is limited to just looking at the first ref for the contents, but this limitation should not impact its usefulness to remove the clutter of a hundred unnamed refs, for example. Despite its limitations, would you find such a script useful, since citation templates can be quite lengthy? If so, maybe the MediaWiki software itself should incorporate this idea (of course simplifying the ref format so that the content is automatically in the first ref).

My script, however, doesn't work with the Wikipedia Beta editor, which seems to be some strange code that actually removes the textarea and replaces it with an iframe (according to a quick glance at Firebug). How can I make my script Beta-compatible (like wikEd is supposed to be)?

And had you thought of the idea of moving refs into a separate box when you designed wikEd's reference hiding? [[User:PleaseStand|PleaseStand]] ([[User talk:PleaseStand|talk]]) 05:39, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
:I found the ref-hiding feature in the stable version (the "R" button at the upper right). However, as noted at [[User talk:SlimVirgin/templates]], it can be cumbersome to use. I still support my idea of replacing refs with short codes for editing purposes but believe that the ref format should be simplified for automatic parsing. So I'd like to see this in wikEd, but preferably, I'd like to see this in MediaWiki so that it is available to all editors. [[User:PleaseStand|PleaseStand]] ([[User talk:PleaseStand|talk]]) 23:53, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

:: The only way to make your script compatible under standard textarea and the Usability Initiative beta iframe is have to separate parts of your code for them... Their iframe solution will break all existing textarea-related userscripts. I am not planning a separate ref editing window, I think the current ref hiding in wikEd beta (will be made compatible with UI-beta and Firefox 3.6 today or tomorrow) is a more intuitive and easier to edit solution.[[User:Cacycle|Cacycle]] ([[User talk:Cacycle|talk]]) 08:35, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

==WikEd beta doesn't work in FF 3.6? Huh?==
Damn. What else can I say...?  Three days ago I installed the beta, since for several days WikEd had not been working, and the default editor or whatever that thing is which I keep seeing instead is rather painful. The beta didn't work either. I've tried a number of things to try to better understand it. Just tonight I disabled all my addons, theme, etc. and the result was rather underwhelming. Then, just now, coming here to post a report and ask for help, I read the comment about the beta not working with FF 3.6 - in the text of the post immediately above. Incredible. That's NOT where I should be learning about this.
 
''Could someone put a notice up in VERY plain sight'' so that someone else doesn't have the experience I just had? I can't believe that this problem exists, yet at the top of this page people are still being invited to install the beta. I appreciate WikEd, and all the time that surely must have been invested in it, but people really shouldn't be installing code known to be bad, yes? <strong>[[User:Tomcloyd|Tom Cloyd]] ([[User talk:Tomcloyd|talk]])</strong> 05:01, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:Also, it seems that under Firefox 3.6, the ''stable'' version of wikEd is adding extra spaces into wikitext, as if it is trying to fully justify the wikitext. This is hard to find (spaces aren't red colored on diffs of course) and doesn't make a difference in the page as seen in a Web browser, but nevertheless, the issue seems to exist. (wikEd has had other Firefox 3.6 issues: the text cursor ''used to'' not show in Firefox 3.6.) I agree, a big notice should be posted that wikEd (neither stable nor beta) does not work properly in Firefox 3.6 and users should use Firefox 3.5 instead, and wikEd should then be fixed.

And the issue only occurs when the text is copied from wikEd, not copied from the plain text editor, which has me suspecting that the browser is not copying correctly from wikEd's iframe.

::: Yeah, cut and paste is a huge problem. EOLs get inserted, and when text is pasted they are still there and have to be manually removed. A large pain. I've removed that ''importScript('User:Cacycle/wikEd_dev.js');'' line from my ''skin.js'' page, and reloaded all pages in Firefox. It didn't fix the problem.

:Yes, I have already tried that. There is no change in the page when copying and pasting an article (tested in my [[User:PleaseStand/Sandbox2|sandbox #2]]).

== Erratic cursor movement ==

I have serious problems with erratic cursor movements. When I run the cursor to the end of the line, it often jumps to a location much farther ahead then the beginning of the next line. Scrolling back past the beginning of a line move the cursor to a place forwards in the text. I am using window 7 and chrome 4.0.249.78. It may be related to pasting.

Can be reproduced as follows. Put "one two three four five six" in the edit buffer. Go to an empty edit screen. Paste several times to fill a few lines. Now put the cursor in the first line and scroll right past the end of it. The cursor skips the remainder of the pasted string and moves forward to the first following "one". Now scroll backwards past the begin of the reached line. The cursor does not go up one line, but reverts to the same "one" forward.

After pressing [w], I see several nested "div" blocks. Now scrolling to the right skips all remaining text. 

P.S. I also experience the seemingly random insertion/deletion of empty lines mentioned by many in earlier sections.

Hi!

Wikia today has changed part of the design of the monaco skin. Now, the #userData element is no longer a list, but a div with each link inside a span. This change makes the wikEd icon to not appear.

I've debugged it and the solution is to change the second parameter of the wikEdMediaWikiSkinIds object from true to false (line 1414) so it simply appends the icon instead of trying to find a UL element. I've tested it myself and works.

== Extra spaces inserted - part II ==

Unfortunately the problem with extra spaces is made even worse with 0.9.90h - it now inserts line breaks ([http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikiProject_Croatia%2FRecent_Articles&action=historysubmit&diff=351140580&oldid=350458434 example]).

== Proposed integration of parts of wikiEd into the Usability Initiative ==

I've [[usability:Talk:Prototype#wikiEd|proposed]] the addition of parts of wikiEd into the beta prototypes at the Usability Wiki. Just letting you know...

== WikEd doubling bug ==

As reported [[WP:VPT#Double upload|here]], WikEd seems to be causing double-uploads of files and doubling of editnotices. I can confirm the editnotice effect (in FF 3.6.2). [[User talk:Algebraist|Algebraist]] 13:43, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
: wikEd is purposely doubling the edit notice below the preview, just in case you missed it when wikEd jumps you to the edit box. At least you aren't getting '''[[User_talk:Cacycle/wikEd#Would_you_consider_making_the_duplicate_edit_notices_optional.3F|triple editnotices]]''', heh. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Gary King|<span style="color: #02b;">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></span>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Gary King|<span style="color: #02e;">talk</span>]])</font> 14:54, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
::There is no preview. I just click "edit" (on [[WP:HD]], for example) and get an edit page with two editnotices (with me jumped to the top of the second), with the "This page is 80 kilobytes long." note between them. Anyway, the real problem is the upload doubling. [[User talk:Algebraist|Algebraist]] 14:58, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
::: Okay; I don't know if wikEd still creates the second editnotice or not if there hasn't been a preview yet. Personally, I've got it setup so that I see a preview when I first click edit. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Gary King|<span style="color: #02b;">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></span>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Gary King|<span style="color: #02e;">talk</span>]])</font> 15:07, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

I can now confirm that wikiEd is the gadget that causes the double upload error. I've just uploaded [[:File:Plymouth Argyle FC.svg|this]] logo after disabling the wikiEd option (using FF 3.6.2). <font face="Segoe Script">[[User:Arteyu|<span style="color:red;font-size:100%;">'''Arteyu ?''' </span>]] [[User talk:Arteyu|<sub><span style="color:green">'''Blame it on me !'''</span></sub>]]</font> 15:18, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
::Well, I've tried another method, by disabling wikiEd and enabling the "Firefogg" option (under User interface gadgets) upon uploading [[:File:Mansfield Town FC.svg|this image]]. Found that the firefogg option by itself doesn't upload the image twice, but it adds this <nowiki>"== Summary =="</nowiki> word to the comment. <font face="Segoe Script">[[User:Arteyu|<span style="color:red;font-size:100%;">'''Arteyu ?''' </span>]] [[User talk:Arteyu|<sub><span style="color:green">'''Blame it on me !'''</span></sub>]]</font> 15:43, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

The tripling has been fixed in 0.9.90j, the doubling is intentional so that you see the notices after autoscrolling to the edit field.  [[User:Cacycle|Cacycle]] ([[User talk:Cacycle|talk]]) 08:18, 26 March  2010 (UTC)
:So how about the doubling of images? As per examples above, the image doubling bug occur only when user enables both firefogg and wikiEd together; and I don't think that was intentional; I also do think that it has something to do with the doubling of editnotices. <font face="Segoe Script">[[User:Arteyu|<span style="color:red;font-size:100%;">'''Arteyu ?''' </span>]] [[User talk:Arteyu|<sub><span style="color:green">'''Blame it on me !'''</span></sub>]]</font> 11:05, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

When you do a test upload with only wikEd enabled, do you still see double uploads of images? [[User:Cacycle|Cacycle]] ([[User talk:Cacycle|talk]]) 13:27, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
:Nope, I've tried it just now. See [[:File:Gateshead FC.svg|here]]. Imho, the double upload only happens when user enables both gadgets. <font face="Segoe Script">[[User:Arteyu|<span style="color:red;font-size:100%;">'''Arteyu ?''' </span>]] [[User talk:Arteyu|<sub><span style="color:green">'''Blame it on me !'''</span></sub>]]</font> 14:26, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

== Funny cursor movement ==

Here's how to reproduce:
# Go e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Danijel_Premerl&action=edit here]
# Position the cursor at the end of the first line
# Press Arrow down repeatedly until the cursor reaches the penultimate line
# Press Arrow down once again
# The cursor jumps to the ''third'' line, instead of the last line
This is reproducible on both Firefox 3.5.8 (Win2k machine) and 3.6.2 (WinXP machine), but - interestingly enough - works fine in Google Chrome 4.1.249.1042. I'll supply more details if necessary.

Backspace also works funny:
# Edit any page
# Go to the end of the last line and press Enter
# Type: 123
# Press Backspace three times
# All digits should be deleted, but "1" remains
Again: broken in Firefox 3.5 and 3.6, works fine in Chrome. [[User:GregorB|GregorB]] ([[User talk:GregorB|talk]]) 20:56, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

: Problem #1: Confirmed on Firefox 3.6 on a Mac. Problem #2: Confirmed. However, step #5 is a bit more complicated than that. Type "12345", then hit backspace once, "5" is deleted. Hit backspace once more, however, then nothing happens; so, for some reason you need to hit backspace twice to delete the penultimate character in that line. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Gary King|<span style="color: #02b;">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></span>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Gary King|<span style="color: #02e;">talk</span>]])</font> 21:04, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
:: Whoa, that was quick... Yes, that's what I'm seeing too. There is also a problem when one tries to merge two lines by going to the beginning of a line and pressing Backspace. It's as if some invisible characters are being deleted, and nothing happens after the first keypress. Probably the same as problem #2. [[User:GregorB|GregorB]] ([[User talk:GregorB|talk]]) 21:34, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Fixed in 0.9.90m, please Shift-Reload to update. Thanks for reporting this, it was a bug in the new feature that prevents highlighted code to "bleed out" if you start typing right before or after a colored/highlighted block. [[User:Cacycle|Cacycle]] ([[User talk:Cacycle|talk]]) 23:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

== Bug with inserting the 4 tildes ==

When I'm editing a talk page and I click on the link below the editing window labeled "Sign your posts on talk pages: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" which links to <code><nowiki>javascript:insertTags('~~~~','','')</nowiki></code> (“Insert” selected from popup menu), the 4 tildes get inserted at the beginning of the edit text even if the insertion point is at the end (Firefox 3.6)
[[User:Hgrosser|Hgrosser]] ([[User talk:Hgrosser|talk]]) 07:00, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

: Fixed in 0.9.90n, please update with Shift-Reload. Thanks for reporting this! [[User:Cacycle|Cacycle]] ([[User talk:Cacycle|talk]]) 20:57, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Don't know if you want to still support Firefox 2, but in that version, which is the one on library computers at UC Berkeley and required for Macs running Mac OS X 10.3, the 4 tildes (or any other character) insertion doesn't work (does nothing) when the insertion point is at the end of a line (which is where you'd usually insert them). This is both in 0.9.90q and the beta version. You can get Firefox 2 at ftp://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20 . As for the beta version, I like the image preview, but it's really annoying to have the wikitext right over the image. Can you make the text wrap around the image? Thanks.

== Losing content of edit window upon navigating away from page and returning ==

Is there any way to prevent one from losing the content of the edit window when one navigates away from the page and comes back? When WikEd is disabled, this doesn't happen, in Firefox anyway. [[User:Tisane|Tisane]] ([[User talk:Tisane|talk]]) 08:37, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
: It is a bug with the Usability Initiative Beta, see [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22680 bug 22680]. It looks as if they did not have the time to check into it :-( [[User:Cacycle|Cacycle]] ([[User talk:Cacycle|talk]]) 12:03, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

== Examples of regular expressions ==

I haven't seen any place to share knowledge about regular expressions for searching and replacing text in Wikipedia using WikEd. I can offer a few examples on [[User:Chris the speller/regular]] for those who are new to the subject. If there is another place to find examples, please let me know. I will also accept requests to produce expressions for those who would like help. [[User:Chris the speller|Chris the speller]] ([[User talk:Chris the speller|talk]]) 23:00, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

== More funny cursor movements ==

WikEd is 0.9.90n, tried in Firefox 3.5.9 (likely the same in 3.6 - can't test at the moment).

Problem #1:
# Click e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Cacycle/wikEd&action=edit&section=46 here]
# Position the cursor at the first character of the first line
# Press Enter
# Go to the beginning of the first (now empty) line
# Type in any character
# It is displayed in the ''second'' line, not in the first, as would be expected

Problem #2 (possibly related):
# Click e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Cacycle/wikEd&action=edit&section=46 here]
# Go to the end of the last item in the first numbered list ("The cursor jumps to the", etc.)
# Press Enter
# Go back to the same position (i.e. end of the last item)
# Type any character
# It is displayed in the ''following'' line, not in the same line, as would be expected

== WikEd breaks RevisionDelete diff message ==

If [[mw:RevisionDelete|RevisionDelete]] is enabled, you have the revisiondelete right, and you view a diff where one of the revisions has been hidden, a message appears inside the diff table, and WikEdDiffLinkify breaks links in that message. The structure looks like this:
<pre>
<table class="diff">
<tr>
<td class="diff-otitle" colspan="2"><div id="mw-diff-otitle1">
[navigation links, left side]
</div></td>
<td class="diff-ntitle" colspan="2"><div id="mw-diff-ntitle1">
[navigation links, right side]
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4"><div class="mw-warning plainlinks">
[RevisionDelete warning message with links which are broken by WikEdDiffLinkify]
</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
[usual diff structure with diff-lineno, diff-marker, diff-context etc. classes]
...
</pre>

Maybe diff linkification could be limited to the diff-context class.

== AfD bug ==

See thread at [[Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Someone_has_broken_AfD]] ... I am really stumped on this one.  My browser is Firefox 3.0 (kind of behind the times, I know) and Im using monobook (ditto).  It says there's a "loading error" when editing any AfD page (but every other page seems to be fine) and the problem disappears when I disable WikEd (and refresh teh cache).  '''[[User:Soap|<font color="green">—</font>]][[User talk:Soap|<font color="057602">''Soap''</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Soap|<font color="green">—</font>]]''' 21:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
:I'm using Modern. and Firefox 3.6.3.  I don't get an error message, but the editbox comes up blank, and any edits I make don't appear.  Disappears when WikEd is disabled.  Might be related, any page that has a message on the edit page (as ANI has), the edit message appears in between the editbox toolbar and the WikEd toolbar. Hadn't noticed it doing this before, but perhaps I just missed it.[[User:Elen of the Roads|Elen of the Roads]] ([[User talk:Elen of the Roads|talk]]) 21:40, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

== wikEd fails on some articles; script busy or stopped responding ==

Script: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Cacycle/wikEd.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript:11085

: Works fine for me - please could you post a complete bug report (see top of this page), maybe it is some kind of incompatibility. Thanks, [[User:Cacycle|Cacycle]] ([[User talk:Cacycle|talk]]) 20:05, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

::I removed custom button code from my monobook.js, and now I can edit this and other pages, such as [[Racine Unified School District]] that gave me trouble. You may look at the February 23 version of my custom code if you like, to see if I did something exceptionally stupid. The strange thing is that the custom code caused me no problems for two months, and then suddenly I hit 4 or 5 articles in the last couple of days. I'm OK now, so don't hit your head against a wall, unless you want to satisfy your curiosity. I'm on Windows Vista, and the only Firefox add-ons are Linky 3.0.0, Java console 6.020, .NET Framework Assistant 1.1. and Norton IPS 1.0. If you want me to dig up any other bug report info, I can do that. [[User:Chris the speller|Chris the speller]] ([[User talk:Chris the speller|talk]]) 18:44, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

== Beta version ==

I absolutely love the new HTML character entity hiding, as well as the click-to-hold-open feature! You should change the rollover text  for the [[image:WikEd_ref_hide.png]] button so that it mentions char. ent. hiding as well as [REF] and [TEMPL]. I see now that it also gets rid of text over image preview — fantastic! One bug though, when I apply <nowiki><sup>.../<sup></nowiki> to something within the ref block using your toolbar's button, it completely messes up WikiEd's conception of where the boundaries of the ref block are, and I have to use the textify button [[image:WikEd_textify.png]] to fix it.

In the info block on the beta version, you got rid of the instructions on how to install it. Perhaps you could restore these, as well as mentioning that one could switch between versions easier by just changing the name of the .js file in one's Monobook.js, rather than re-enabling it as a gadget.
[[User:Hgrosser|Hgrosser]] ([[User talk:Hgrosser|talk]]) 03:38, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and the image preview doesn't work when it is referenced by some templates w/o image tag, such as [[Phi Beta Kappa Society]] [[User:Hgrosser|Hgrosser]] ([[User talk:Hgrosser|talk]]) 03:55, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm using Firefox 3.0 (old, I know, I'll test with other browsers when I get a chance), and it seems to happen on all skins that support WikEd.  What happens is that the little toolbar above the edit window is magnified to the size of an entire screen, <s>a horizontal scrollbar appears at the bottom window</s>, even if it isn't needed, pressing [tab] to get to the Edit summary field doesnt work, and all edits fail to go through even if it looks like they did.  (Previewing an edit shows no changes.) This all happened suddenly around 22:00 GMT on May 24.  I appreciate all the work youve done on WikEd, and if this problem is just isolated to me (which I imagine it might be since if it was global I'd expect a flood of comments here), I will try to find out the source of the problem and do what I have to do to get it fixed, even if it means upgrading/switching to a new browser. Thank you.  '''[[User:Soap|<font color="green">—</font>]][[User talk:Soap|<font color="057602">''Soap''</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Soap|<font color="green">—</font>]]''' 12:10, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

::It seems to happen only on Firefox 3.0 for me.  Again, the skin I use doesnt seem to matter, so I dont think this is a Vector/Monobook thing.

:::Hmm, upgrading the browser didn't help. It only seems to happen on this user account (not 3centsoap) so it might be something to do with the cache, but it doesnt seem possible to clear the cache.

:::::Okay, this is the last message I hope.  I restored functionality of WikEd by unclicking in the Prefs page under editing "Widen the edit box to fill the entire screen" and "Enable enhanced editing toolbar", "Enable dialogs for inserting tables, links, and more", and "Enable navigable table of contents".  Yet, none of those features caused any problems under another computer ,even with the same browser, skin, css, js, and every other conceivable setting the same.

== Unresponsiveness with certain articles... ==

...such as [[D8 (Croatia)]]. Attempting to edit at various places in the article leads to general unresponsiveness and high (or at least higher-than-normal) CPU usage. Can be reproduced with Firefox 3.6.3 on both Windows 7 and Windows XP SP3, but seems to work fine with Google Chrome 5.0.375.55 on Windows 7. [[User:GregorB|GregorB]] ([[User talk:GregorB|talk]]) 13:59, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

== Bug: Editor locks on [[wikia:code:Programmer's_Wiki|Programmer's Wiki mainpage]] ==

wikEd 0.9.90q (April 19, 2010)

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20091020 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.3

No errors were displayed.

My only add-on is Ubuntu Firefox Modifications (unless you're counting plug-ins as well as extensions).

The skin in use is Monaco.

I am not using Wikipedia Beta.

Your script is the only one installed as my userscript, and I believe there are no custom scripts used wiki-wide.

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala."

Manual editing and manual scrolling within the editor are completely disabled.  Undo/redo and the buttons, both the standard ones and the special wikEd ones, still work, and effect scrolling when the text they affect is outside the current editor viewport.  I managed to accidentally highlight a character while playing with the buttons and undo, but otherwise this is not possible and I can't manually change the highlighted text anyway.  Fortunately I can disable/enable the script while on the page in question, a very wise feature.  The editing page also displays a notice of anti-anon protection twice.

To reproduce the problem, [http://code.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Signup?type=signup create a Wikia account], paste your script [http://code.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:MyPage/monaco.js&action=edit here] (or skip this step and use Greasemonkey), and visit [http://code.wikia.com/index.php?title=Programmer%27s_Wiki&action=edit the problem page's editor].  I also noticed the behavior on [http://code.wikia.com/index.php?title=Programmer%27s_Wiki/old&action=edit a subpage] as well as the original with only a redirect in it, but not [http://code.wikia.com/index.php?title=User:Jesdisciple/MainPage&action=edit a duplicate page].  The name of the main page happens to also be the alias for the Project: namespace.

When you open the editor for the page in question with wikEd enabled, you should experience the same issues as I described above. --[[User:Jesdisciple|Jesdisciple]] ([[User talk:Jesdisciple|talk]]) 16:38, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

==Not working==
For a private (non-web) wiki on my computer, I’ve tried to install the latest version of WikEd following the steps of the procedure ‘Wikis without internet connection’, but I can’t get it to work. I’m using: Windows XP Professional, MediaWiki 1.15.4, IIS 5.1, PHP 5.3.2, MySQL 5.1 Essentials, phpMyAdmin 3.3.3 and Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3.

The memory limit is ok; I added ‘$wgUseSiteJs = true;’ to the local settings (and also tried ‘$wgAllowUserJs = true;’); created the required pages (‘wikEd.js’, ‘wikEd current version’, etc.) as well as the optional ‘AutoWikiBrowser typos’, but not the translation page; manually uploaded the 88 images; copied the installation code at ‘MediaWiki:Common.js’, replacing the relevant lines with http://localhost/mediawiki and http://localhost/mediawiki/images; and protected the .js pages. After restarting the IIS server and refreshing the Firefox cache, no WikEd logo or WikEd buttons appear in the editing box.

The JavaScript error report says:

:Error: syntax error<br >
:Source file: http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php?title=-&action=raw&smaxage=0&gen=js&useskin=monobook<br >
:Line: 28, Column: 113<br >
:Source code: var wikEdAutoUpdateUrl = 'http://localhost/mediawiki/index.php?title=wikEd_current_version&action=raw&maxage=0'; }

Any thoughts? [[User:Cavila|Cavila]] ([[User talk:Cavila|talk]]) 10:58, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

:Incidentally, I've also tried setting wikEdAutoUpdate to 'false', but that gives us another error:

:::Odd as that may sound, it is! I copied the text just as I found it at [[User:Cacycle/wikEd installation#Wikis without internet connection]]. Do you think that those braces were intended to be at the line directly below or did javascript change its preferences (I'm only guessing)? The extra images do not (yet) appear on my screen, possibly because the uploads were automatically stored in subfolders of /images/, but I'm happy to have short descriptions instead, as I have now (the reason being that it works better with my display preferences).

== variable misnaming, I think. ==

In the order asked:
The balloon that pops up for that widget next to "log out" reads"Loading error - wikEd 0.9.90r G (June 14, 2010) Click to disable" (I was able to get the properties of it and copy/paste that text in FF)

Not that it would matter much, but my one browser says it's "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.20) Gecko/20081217 Firefox/2.0.0.20", and the other "Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux i686; U; en) Presto/2.6.30 Version/10.60" (wikiEd does not work in either/both)

...and now the key: the FF error console says: "Error: tag is not defined
Source File: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Cacycle/wikEd.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript
Line: 12178"  From what I saw, you define a variable "tags" and then reference tag[i]; don't know if that's what you wanted, and somehow I don't think so.  I think you wanted "tags[i]", not "tag[i]".

Y'know, considering what I found from FF's error console, I didn't try disabling add-ons.  Sorry 'bout that, but I didn't think it was relevant.

I use the Monobook skin.  I actually tried putting in a simple alert() call into monobook.js, but I never saw an alert.  Hmmmm...dunno why not.

What happens is, I no longer see the wikiEd toolbars, just the pretty much standard ones (bolding, italic, link, advanced, special characters, help, and so on.)

I might also add that for several months now, using the case-changing widget (at least in FF) loses the selection after using it.  In other words, after selecting some text and clicking the case-change widget, it would for example change all the highlighted text to upper case, but then the text just operated upon would become deselected.  Therefore I couldn't step to the next "case case", for example all lower without ''re''selecting that text.  It didn't used to do that; the text would remain selected and highlighed in the textarea, up until a few months ago anyway.

*hmmm....on further inspection...Opera is not supported.  OK.  Fair enough.  But as far as the deselection problem: "<code>Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIDOMRange.setStart]"  nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Cacycle/wikEd.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript :: anonymous :: line 6447"  data: no]
Source File: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User:Cacycle/wikEd.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript
Line: 6447</code>  This could very well be a FF bug that was fixed in later versions.  As you have seen, this is a rather old version.  That error looks nasty.  Still, it could have been an addon.  This line looks like it's frobbing the range object.  Ohwell.

Oddly enough, I started experimenting with that a little bit, by going in and disabling wikiEd in my prefs, and reenabling it, then editing my user page.  Wikipedia showed the wikiEd toolbar once, but now it pretty much doesn't show it anymore.  Odd indeed that it seemed to work once.

* It also appears I may have toggled the little beastie on and off with that widget near the top right of the page.  Sometimes I click on it and the wikiEd toolbar will appear.  Hmmm...dunno what causes that "load error" stuff though.

hope that helps.

== Syntaxhighlight tag ==

Hello, thanks for this great tool. I have seen, in wikEd source code, that it takes into account this tag for preview displays. But when I use the "<>" button for check html, the <code>WikifyHTML</code> function remove the <code>syntaxhighlight</code> tag. This tag is not in the list of allowed wiki tags (it's after this line <code>//&lt;&gt; remove not allowed tags</code> in the source code of wikEd). Can you add this tag please ?<br />
Instead I can use the <code>source</code> tag which is used by the SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi extension. But, an other issue is that <code>source</code> allow to write html tags like this :
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">
<myTags>
   MyText
</myTags>
</syntaxhighlight>
So, wikEd removed the tag <code>myTags</code>. But all tags nested in <code>source</code> tag and <code>syntaxhighlight</code> tag are transformed in text by SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi extension. So, I think that it should not be deleted by wikEd. Have you an idea for this issue ? Thanks (and sorry for my english) --[[User:Gobygoba|Gobygoba]] ([[User talk:Gobygoba|talk]]) 22:17, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

:::Thanks. I just want to says that the tag <code>myTags</code> is deleted by "<>" button. For exemple, if you edit this section, and if you use the "<>" button, then the tag <code>myTags</code> is deleted. Yet, this tag is not a html tag, it's a simple text because it's in between a source tags (so this tag is parse by syntaxhighlight extention). So, I think that it should not be deleted by wikEd. But it may be complex to be taken into account. --[[User:Gobygoba|Gobygoba]] ([[User talk:Gobygoba|talk]]) 21:19, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:::: Ah, I see. The [<>] button uses the same logic as the [W]ikify button. Unknown tags are stripped during wikification and therefore also during html fixing.

== [REF] and [TEMPL] hiding ==

It seems only templates whose name is more than one word are hidden. Is there anyway to hide all templates?--[[User:Netheril96|Netheril96]] ([[User talk:Netheril96|talk]]) 14:44, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

: Templates are not hidden if they do not have parameters or are shorter than <code>wikEdConfig.templNoHideLength</code> characters. If you set <code>var wikEdConfig = {}; wikEdConfig.templNoHideLength = 0;</code> you would at least hide all templates with parameters. See also [[User:Cacycle/wikEd customization]]. There is currently no switch to always hide even short no-paramater templates. [[User:Cacycle|Cacycle]] ([[User talk:Cacycle|talk]]) 20:36, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

== broken on Appropedia ==

Hi Cacycle,

Something has changed, where we use wikEd on our Appropedia page: http://www.appropedia.org/index.php?title=Wikedbox&action=edit

E.g. if I copy a link on Wikipedia to the [[Singapore]] article, "wikify" converts it to:

<pre>title="Singapore" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore" _moz_dirty="", </pre>

I think the best option for us is probably to directly copy the code from an older version that worked, and hack it to show the wikify button and as little else as possible (since that's all we use it for, on that page). I'll look at this later when I have time - if you have any tips, they're very welcome. 

Thanks --[[User:Chriswaterguy|Chriswaterguy]] <small>[[User talk:Chriswaterguy|talk]]</small> 05:44, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

:::Thanks. It seems to handle links fine now, but has trouble with other formatting, such as headings and indents. I've had trouble finding the exact pattern, and when it's triggered, but the most common thing is that if I select a section including a header or maybe an indent and click wikify, it hangs, until I get a browser alert about an unresponsive script, which lets me stop it running.

:::For cases where it works - I've noticed bold and links - the conversion is almost instant, and there is no problem.

Debugging the code it reaches line 1888 (<nowiki>wikEd.AddEventListener(window, 'load', wikEd.Setup, false);</nowiki>) but wikEd.Setup is never called. Calling wikEd.Setup() manually initializes wikEd correctly. This could happen because wikEd.AddEventListener relies on the browser event handling, and maybe when this line is reached the page was already loaded, so the load event isn't fired again. You probably have to detect if the load is complete and fire the functions that you want to attach to the window.load inmediately, maybe having a separate function to add events to the window.load that would do this special check. --[[User:Ciencia Al Poder|Ciencia Al Poder]] ([[User talk:Ciencia Al Poder|talk]]) 20:42, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

== Automatically highlighting text matching predefined string ==

With my dabfix tool it would be incredibly useful to highlight what text was added by machine.  The text strings are already stored to do automatic removal.  Is there a quick way of implementing this (i.e. I don't feel like reading threw your parser code)?  — [[User:Dispenser|Dispenser]] 04:55, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

: Please could you explain a bit more what you are trying to accomplish? I am not sure if I understand how a wikicode parser could help highlighting text added by a tool.

::Dabfix is a Toolserver tool with WikEd integration for improving disambiguation pages.  It adds a description to the entry which needs to be copy edited by a human.  Sometimes it is hard to tell which to copy edit with a large number of entries.  So I would like WikEd to highlight the added text as shown below:
:::<tt>*<code>[[<span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;">Cirrus (rocket)</span>]]</code><span style="background:#ccf">, a German sounding rocket</span></tt>

::: I have added support for keeping html code in version 0.9.97, just use span, div, ins, or del tags with an id, name, or class name starting with "wikEdKeep".

== Disable on Personal Level ==

Hello Cacycle,

I am an administrator of a wiki where WikiEd is enabled wiki wide using <span style="color:blue;">''<nowiki>[[MediaWiki:Common.js]]</nowiki>''</span>, but as an experienced user, WikiEd only ''annoys'' me. I have disabled it using the logo next to the ''log out'' button, but it randomly decides to enable itself, which is annoying. Is there any way to disable it on a personal level using <span style="color:blue;">''<nowiki>[[User:MyName/vector.js]]</nowiki>''</span>?

: You can add <code>var wikEdConfig = { '<s>scrollToEdit</s>useWikEdPreset': true };</code> to your vector.js page. That sets the default state after the settings cookie has been lost to disabled.

== WikEd inline preview container should be inserted outside edit form ==

WikEd inline preview container should be inserted outside edit form, because some MediaWiki extensions insert HTML forms onto the page, and when inline preview is loaded, these forms are inserted into editform, which causes different bugs, i.e. extension could handle the submmited editform like its own form and discard text changes.

I propose inserting <tt>wikEd.localPrevWrapper</tt> '''after''' <tt>editform</tt>.

The one problem here is that preview block goes below <tt>edittools</tt>, <tt>templatesUsed</tt> and <tt>hiddencats</tt>, which is not just after textarea. So I think wikEd could also move <tt>templatesUsed</tt> and <tt>hiddencats</tt> after <tt>editform</tt>.

== WikEd not displaying in FireFox ==

At some point in the fall of 2010 WikEd stopped displaying for me when using Firefox 3.6.xx. I have not changed my preferences, in fact, it is still selected as an option in my preferences. WikEd shows up fine in Chrome but not at all in IE. How do I get it working in FF? (And did something happen external to my account that caused it stop working?) -- [[User:btphelps|btphelps]] <sup>([[User_talk:Btphelps |talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Btphelps |contribs]])</sup> 01:20, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

: Are you using the monobook or the vector skin? (BTW, there is a missing semicolon after line 10 in your monobook.js). Are you seeing a wikEd icon on top of the page next to the logout link? Are you trying to load via monobook.js or via Wikipedia preferences as a gadget? Please could you fill out a complete bug report form from the top?

== Drop down menu for Cite ==

Hi

It seems the "Cite" drop down has disappeared - any reason for this ?

It used to say "advanced" "Special characters" "XX" "Cite"

== wikEd Compatibility ==
Hello Cacycle,

Thank you for developing and maintaining wikEd. I am currently planning on using it with a wiki for my team at work and there are strict rules in place regarding programs and browsers that are in use.

Is there '''any''' way that I can get the "wikify" button to work on the latest IE? I highly agree that IE is far from the recommended, but that is outside of my hands.

Specs:
* IE 8.0.6
* mediaWiki software
* Monobook probably

Thank you for your time,<br />
Andrew.  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:AndrewM90|AndrewM90]] ([[User talk:AndrewM90|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/AndrewM90|contribs]]) 14:57, 10 January 2011 (UTC)</span></small>

: Hi Andrew, I am sorry, there is no way to get wikEd working under IE 8. It might be possible with version 9, but I cannot test or develop for that because it requires Windows 7 @#$!. Somebody could also invest a few days of programming to dissect out the wikify logic which should run under IE (the incompatible parts are related to the selection model (needed for grabbing and inserting text into the edit area) and, as I just noticed, to events). The easiest solution would probably be to ask for a special permit to run Firefox. Sorry, [[User:Cacycle|Cacycle]] ([[User talk:Cacycle|talk]]) 23:57, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

== Wikia's new skin ==

After only playing with WikiEd for a little bit I can see that it will be very useful the highlighting is superb. My only gripe is that it has not been updated for the new Wikia skin so I have to switch to monobook to use it. Thank you for creating and developing this great code and I hope to see it working under the new Wikia skin soon.

== Problems with Firefox 4 ==

I had to disable wikEd because of some problems that it had in Firefox 4 beta 9. First of all, the script takes by far the longest time to load, on any page. When a page is loaded, it still says "Waiting for en.wikipeida.org" so I began wondering what was taking so long. Then I noticed that the wikEd icon in the top-right corner had not appeared yet, and only shows up when the page finishes loading. Secondly, I usually have wikEd disabled (by clicking on the wikEd logo), but every once in a while it will reactivate itself and so I have to disable it again. I didn't have these problems in Firefox 3.6. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Gary King|<span style="color:#02b;">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></span>]]&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 0.9em;">([[User talk:Gary King|<span style="color:#02e;">talk</span>]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User:Gary King/Scripts|<span style="color:#02e;">scripts</span>]])</span></span> 02:02, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

== Current wikEd doesn't work for me in Chrome on Mac ==

Cacycle, hats off to you for such a useful tool! But I'm stuck and hope you can help me: I was earlier using wikEd 0.9.91j (from July 22, 2010) in Firefox 3.6.13 on Mac and it worked fine across all wikis I noticed. I upgraded to the newest one 0.9.97a ("Last update Nov 29, 2010") and it seems to work in Firefox (it didn't at first but I kept refreshing), yet ''doesn't'' show up for me in Chrome (9.0.597.84 beta). Across all wikis, it gives me deformed, small text areas like [http://screencast.com/t/gGbnYznQh this] and [http://screencast.com/t/7Lo2HaHX1 that]. 

So I decided to downgrade to the older 0.9.91j in Chrome to see what would happen.

More strangeness: in Chrome on the lindenlab.com company internal wiki (MediaWiki 1.14.1) that's connected to the web, wikEd doesn't appear. However, wikEd still works on the public http://wiki.secondlife.com (MediaWiki 1.15.5), but ONLY if all lindenlab.com wiki tabs are closed. Otherwise, having a tab with the lindenlab.com wiki editor open makes wikEd disappear on all open tabs that have a working wikEd (after refreshing them) and it seems I have to close the lindenlab.com wiki tab, restart Chrome, and refresh the wiki.secondlife.com tab for wikEd to come back. This earlier confused me into thinking that wikEd wasn't working at all. Furthermore, I disabled the FCKeditor in the lindenlab.com wiki preferences and that didn't bring back wikEd. 

I wonder what factor is "breaking" it? The lindenlab.com wiki does use the FCKeditor extension, so I wonder if that in some way is wreaking havoc? Strange that an earlier version played fine with it though in Firefox, but not Chrome.

To sum up in Chrome: older 0.9.91j works partially. 0.9.97a doesn't work for me at all, and gives the deformed text areas I reported above.

== wikED broken for mediawiki 1.17wmf1? ==

Hi, wikipedia recently upgraded to mediawiki 1.17wmf1. On LI wiki (my home wiki) gadgets are not enabled, so I enable WikED by including it in vector.js. It however doesn't seem to load anymore. Is there a fix for this? - [[User:Pahles|Pahles]] ([[User talk:Pahles|talk]]) 15:04, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
: It looks like gadgets have been disabled on your wiki.

::I've found the problem. There was a javascript error in my personal common.js, preventing wikED to load.

== Convert the png buttons to svg? ==

I love WikiEd, but one thing I notice is that the buttons are very ugly and pixelated. Any way to make them into .svg?

:::They're all in [[commons:Category:WikEd]].  And speaking of buttons, could we perhaps rearrange and remove some of them.  — [[User:Dispenser|Dispenser]] 04:31, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Well here's a list of what currently exists (minus screenshots and gifs). Cacycle can remove what is uneeded for conversion, and then it would be off to the Graphic Lab. <span style="font-variant:small-caps; whitespace:nowrap;">[[User:Headbomb|Headbomb]] {[[User talk:Headbomb|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Headbomb|contribs]] / [[WP:PHYS|physics]] / [[WP:WBOOKS|books]]}</span> 04:49, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

== localstorage memory issue? WikEd not loading after find/replace in a big article ==

Hi,
I tried translating [[2010 Indian Premier League]] into [[ta:User:Mahir78/2010 இந்தியன் பிரீமியர் லீக்]] using a js tool. Everything went fine. But at one stage if try to find/replace words i get this error. is there any memory issue in localstorage? please add try catch at line 14347. Let me try and give u feedback. After this error happen WikEd never loaded into my user area in both enwiki and tawiki. In enwiki also shows this error and not loaded, but the error initiated while editing in tawiki.

== MS Word to Wiki Conversion Freezes ==

WikEd versin: 0.9.98 
Browser: Google Chrome 10.0.648.127
errors: None, other than the browser asking if I want to kill a frozen script
Add-Ons: Flashblock (with this page whitelisted), adblock, personal blocklist, sexy undo close tab, google speed tracer, web developer
Wikipedia beta: no
User scripts: None
OS: OSX 10.6.6
Theme: Classic
Description: When I paste content from Microsoft Word or Textedit into WikEd running on Chrome or Firefox and then click the MS Word->Wiki button, it stalls and after a while tells me that the script is unresponsive.

When debugging, I can see that the loop in the code never gets past:
 while ( (regExpMatch = /(\w+)\s*=\s*(('|")(.*?)\3|(\w+))/g.exec(attributes)) != null) {
With local vars of:
attrib: "class"
attribValue: "MsoNormal"
attributes: "class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; mso-outline-level:1""
common: "dir"
regExpMatch: Array[6]
relaxed: false
sanitized: ""
table: "|border|cellspacing|cellpadding|align|bgcolor"
tablealign: "|align|valign"
tablecell: "|rowspan|colspan|nowrap|bgcolor"
tag: "p"
this: Object
valid: false


As far as I can tell, it never modifies the attributes or breaks out of the loop, so there is no way this loop could ever end.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/173.161.6.33|173.161.6.33]] ([[User talk:173.161.6.33|talk]]) 17:53, 8 March 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

That is strange, it works fine for me, even with the provided values. Also, I do not see a reason why the loop would ever run more than a few times: It works its way through the attributes string till the end, then exec return null, and the loop terminates. Maybe something else is broken. Can you find a test case so that I can exactly repeaqt your problem? Also, it might help if you fill out the bug report form from the top of this page.

== New script to view references rendered in section? ==

Any chance that the feature that wikEd provides which previews a section and shows the references in it rendered in the preview page, could be split off into its own script for those of us that only want to install that feature? wikEdDiff is great, for instance, and this would be, too. Thanks in advance! <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Gary King|<span style="color:#02b;">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></span>]]&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 0.9em;">([[User talk:Gary King|<span style="color:#02e;">talk</span>]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User:Gary King/Scripts|<span style="color:#02e;">scripts</span>]])</span></span> 05:27, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

:There is [[User:Anomie/ajaxpreview.js]] that takes extra care of the references when editing a section: if it finds a &lt;ref name="xxx" /&gt; which is defined in other section it will pull the whole article from the server, find that ref and still display it properly in the preview. If you don't care ''that'' much about refs then there is also my script [[User:Js/ajaxPreview]] which simply inserts <code>&lt;references /&gt;</code> like WikEd but has some other features: Ajax "changes" button, preview of edit summary and other areas, executing sortable and collapsible scripts on the preview, etc. — [[user:Alex Smotrov|AlexSm]] 21:51, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

== Replace buttons by menus? ==

I think it would  improve  usability if the tool bars (except maybe the replace tool bar) are replaced by menus. The biggest advantage is that the function descriptions would be obvious without having to hover over the mouse the buttons. Some of the button icons are difficult to memorize simply because the concepts they represent appear only in  wikEd. Another advantage is that the controls would take up less space in the browser window. Yes, it is possible to collapse the tool bars, but they still take up the same amount of vertical space. Also, then you have to remember which collapsed tool bar holds which buttons, because the collapsed tool bars are not labeled. -[[User:Pgan002|Pgan002]] ([[User talk:Pgan002|talk]]) 08:04, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

== wikEd always on, problem with Safari+quick-preview ==
* These days, wikEd's editing formatting is always on, I have to turn in off every-time I edit a page due to the WebKit issue of magically added enters. This quit bothersome, it didn't used to do this.
* The quick-preview doesn't work fully in Safari (5.0.3 (6533.19.4)), it shows, but templates stay as text formatted, in Chrome it takes a second and then they also get the correct formatting, in Safari they just stay as the text as you typed it. Signatures (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), don't format as eventually shown but just gives the basic formatting (for me it looks like "Xeworlebi 14:53, 18 Mar 2011 (UTC)", in quick preview, instead of the way it eventually turns out as you can see at the end of this message. Making the feature quite useless in a lot of cases.

I believe the support of some maths characters is so bad that they should not be be offered in the menu 'Math and logic'.

The other browsers do them fine so it is yet again Microsoft causing problems. To try them  out yourself I'll list the characters here: standard non-serif ℂ ℍ ℕ ℙ ℚ ℝ ℤ ⟨ ⟩  serif using {{tl|math}} {{math|ℂ ℍ ℕ ℙ ℚ ℝ ℤ ⟨ ⟩}}.

== Reference expansion distracting? ==

Currently, if a user hovers over a hidden reference or template, it immediately expands. In my experience, hovering happens too easily by accident and the expanded reference is distracting.

== Firefox 4 infinite loop in [Wikify] ==

''[[User:VitaliyFilippov|VitaliyFilippov]] ([[User talk:VitaliyFilippov|talk]]) 13:40, 27 April 2011 (UTC)'' WikEd does an infinite loop in Firefox 4, for example, when wikifying copy-pasted tables. This is because WikEd uses the following code (in 2 places): '''<tt>while (//g.match() != null)</tt>'''. ECMAScript 5 standard tells us // is not a special literal regex syntax (as it was in ECMAScript 3), but is a constructor for a new regexp object, and a new regexp object always has last match position = 0. So if there is even a single match, this would be an infinite loop, which is incorrect. <s>All other browsers behave differently</s> Not really, Opera now also conforms to ECMAScript 5, Chrome and IE do not. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98409 Mozilla Bug 98409]. Nevertheless, the following code: '''<tt>var re = //g; while(re.match() != null)</tt>''' is correct for Firefox 4 and other ECMAScript5-compliant browsers.

== 0.9.35h removal ==

Hi. I have inherited some MediaWiki administration tasks for my company's internal wiki and am having a terrible time locating and removing and old version of wikEd which is installed on it (their version is ancient - 0.9.35h and I want to upgrade it). Despite the fact that it appears to be a site-wide install the code is not located in MediaWiki:Common.js, there are no preferences options for Gadgets or wikEd. Also, no code shows up under User:<any user>/monobook.js or any of our other skins. I have also done a "grep -R -i wikEd ." through my wiki installation directory without getting any hits. I am at a loss! I can install the newest version by adding your code into MediaWiki:Common.js but then both versions are active (or at least the little icon for both show up in the top right). Am I missing something? Where can I locate and obliterate the old version? Does the "h" at the end of the version number signify an installation type that I missed?

Thank you so much for any help you can provide!

[[User:Xaev|Xaev]] ([[User talk:Xaev|talk]]) 21:16, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

You could try to find out from where the code is loaded, e.g. using the Web Developer add-on for Firefox. Or check the source code for Javascript links and then check their source codes.

== Templates required in external wiki to run wikEd ==

I'm preparing to install wikEd on a MediaWiki on an intranet which may or may not be connected to the Internet. So I'm copying the whole wikEd program code.  WikEd is to be active for all users, so I'm installing the scripts in the MediaWiki namespace.

For now, I'm experimenting with wikEd on a [http://www.informationtamers.com/WikIT/ live on-line wiki] that I control, because it's available.  I realize I should set that up differently, but then it wouldn't help me understand how to set up the intranet version.

The most obvious problem is that on the page
http://www.informationtamers.com/WikIT/index.php?title=MediaWiki:WikEd.js
The following are reported as used but missing:<br>
Template:FUNCTION:parameter <br>
Template:Function:param <br>
Template:Lang <br>
Template:Modifier:... <br>
Template:TABLE <br>
Template:Variable <br>
Template:Variable:R <br>
Template:\s*lang\s*\<br>

But I can't find most of these in Wikipedia and those I can find lead to a cascade of dependencies.  And ones I do include look very different once in my wiki.  When I get beyond content editing and basic setup, my wiki fu is not so hot!

Is there a recognized way of acquiring the full tree of templates required for wikEd?

I can't get any sign that wikEd is active - editing appears in plain text as normal.  I'm using Chrome 12.0.742.100 on WinXP SP3 and refreshing after any changes. The problem occurs in IE8 and FF3.6 as well.  The wiki is on v.1.16.5, monobook (with very minor customization) and wikEd is the version on the wikEd Installation page now. 

There's a full list of what I've done for the installation here:
http://www.informationtamers.com/WikIT/index.php?title=User_talk:WikITSysop#wikEd_installation 
and apart from the templates, I think everything has been done.

Thanks [[User:Argey|Argey]] ([[User talk:Argey|talk]]) 06:46, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Addendum.  I have noticed now that most of the templates that were redlisted at the foot of
http://www.informationtamers.com/WikIT/index.php?title=MediaWiki:WikEd.js
were actually mentioned in comments and were not really template invocations.  I was caught out by the wiki code parsing text after the "//"

The only use of template code that looks as if it might indicate the need for a template are the following:
<pre><nowiki>

var regExp = /{{\s*lang\s*\|(.|\n)*?}}/gi;

and
return('{{doi|' + regExpMatchDOI[1] + '}}');
['\\{{2,}',                         'paramTempl',          'open'], // template or parameter start

== Slow to load in HTTPS wiki ==

I'm 90% sure that it's so slow because it loads each icon one at a time, at about half a second each, which totals maybe 20-30 seconds on my system. Problem is icons are flushed from cache fast on my system, for whatever reason. It would be vastly more efficient from a network perspective and much faster to load to make them all views on a single large png strip/box. There are some [http://webdev-il.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-use-sprites-for-web-graphics-and.html online tutorials] for this. Also, making it SVG per the earlier suggestion would slow the loading time down well beyond what it is now, so I vote against that (although some of the icons are nicer and could definitely replace the current ones). <small>[[User:Foxyshadis|Foxyshadis]]<sup>([[User talk:Foxyshadis|talk]])</sup></small> 05:53, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

== Fixes for regex rules parsing ==

{{tl|editprotected}}
Hi!

Could someone sync the "regExp" used to detect the rules with [http://autowikibrowser.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/autowikibrowser/AWB/WikiFunctions/Parse/RegExTypoFix.cs?revision=7571&view=markup#l42 the AWB source code] and also add a [[mw:RL/DM#mw.log|mw.log]] command to the loop which is used to parse the regex rules?

<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript" highlight="2,11">
		// parse regexp rules
		var regExp = /<(?:Typo)?\s+(?:word="(.*?)"\s+)?find="(.*?)"\s+replace="(.*?)"\s*\/?>/g;
		while ( (regExpMatch = regExp.exec(rulesTxt)) != null) {
 
			// check if this is a valid regexp
			var regExpFind;
			try {
				regExpFind = new RegExp(regExpMatch[2], 'gm');
			}
			catch (err) {
				mw.log( 'Invalid regex:\nfind=' + regExpMatch[2] + '\nreplace=' + regExpMatch[3]);
				continue;
			}
 
			// save regexp and replace
			wikEd.typoRulesFind.push(regExpFind);
			wikEd.typoRulesReplace.push(regExpMatch[3]);
		}
</syntaxhighlight>
The regex change would make the name of the word optional and white spaces to be ignored (as it is on AWB) and the log command would allow users to use <code>?debug=1</code> to review the set of rules and find out which ones needs to be fixed (and would do nothing on production mode).

:Umm, I don't understand what you mean by several different things you've said, including <sync the "regExp">.

== Some bugs in WikEd 0.9.99 and Firefox 5 ==

In Firefox 5, wikifying copy-pasted text often gives things like:

 name="cutid6" _moz_dirty=""  

Also, the cursor jumps to the end after wikifying. It didn't in Firefox 4. This is inconvenient.

Well, I think that would be a solution...)

The button hides ''wikEdToolbarWrapper''. The problem is that, unlike the new standard wiki toolbar, You don't append the old one to that ''wikEdToolbarWrapper''. You should change the code below. It says something like: "if there's a ''wikEd.toolbar'' then append ''wikEd.toolbarWrapper'' to ''wikEd.editorWrapper''" and that's all. There is missing the appendig of the toolbar to ''wikEd.toolbarWrapper''. [[User:Vinne2|Vinne2]] ([[User talk:Vinne2|talk]]) 18:28, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

== Why no signiature button? ==

I am really tempted to replace the original editing bar with wikiEd, but one key button is missing: the signature button. for talk pages. Could it be added to the wikiEd? Or, barring that, as wikiEd supports custom buttons, but frankly, [[User:Cacycle/wikEd_customization#Custom_buttons]] is to arcane for me to use, perhaps a kind soul would code this button as an option for me? Also, there are certain templates I often use, I'd love it if somebody could tell me how to add template buttons (i.e. a button that would add a template). I should be able to duplicate this for the several templates I care about, once I understand the basics.

== Bug in September 4, 2011, version ==

There is a rather major bug in the most recent (4 Sept 2011) version of wikiEd. When editing pages with large lists, the editor removes newlines from the lists, or sometimes does not load the entire list. An example can be seen [{{fullurl:User:Odie5533/VG_Source_Reliability|action=edit&section=2}} here]. It initially will not load the entire page into the editor. Then if you click changes, it will load the entire page but it will have removed all the line breaks from the list at the bottom of the page. --[[User:Odie5533|Odie5533]] ([[User talk:Odie5533|talk]]) 17:08, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

:'''Workaround''' Upstream (Greasemonkey) had a recent bug for installing scripts that was only [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ just fixed], so I installed that version. I was then able to install old versions of wikiEd from [http://userscripts.org/scripts/versions/12529 userscripts.org]. However, the bug is in fact in wikiEd since the newest wikiEd contained the bug using GM 0.9.10, but the older versions of wikiEd on GM 0.9.10 did not have the bug (and the Gadget wikiEd exhibits the bug as well). The current workaround is to install GM 0.9.10 from the first link, and then install an old version of wikiEd from the userscripts.org link. --[[User:Odie5533|Odie5533]] ([[User talk:Odie5533|talk]]) 17:29, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

== Can wikEd be speed up (image loading problems)? ==

I am on the verge of giving up on wikEd. I like the syntax highlighting, but I am annoyed by the clutter of buttons I mostly don't use. I could live with clutter, but often when I edit a page, wikEd takes something like 3-4 seconds to load itself over the editing Window; what seems to take most of that is loading buttons (I use Firefox 6.0.1 on Win 7). It seems like they are not cached, or need to be generated every single time. Any ideas why this delay is occurring? (Also, how to kill most of the buttons I don't want...). --<sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]&#124;[[User talk:Piotrus|<span style="color:#7CFC00; background:#006400;"> talk to me</span>]]</sub> 20:51, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

== HTTPS images ==

<syntaxhighlight lang=diff>
- wikEd.config.imagePath = 'http:/upwiki/wikipedia/commons/';

With the new HTTPS roll out across the Wikimedia verse, I thought I'd check what was "breaking the lock".  The image repository now supports HTTPS ;-).  You many also want to change the auto-linking for RFC and PMID to use protocol relative URLs.  — [[User:Dispenser|Dispenser]] 13:20, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

i.e. at least one http image (the one in the top right) even on the https site. Do protocol-relative URLs need to be inserted somewhere they're not being used at the moment?

== Custom button to insert dated {{tl|citation needed}} tags ==

I am relatively comfortable with basic JavaScript and have just started a little wikEd customization. I would like to add a custom button that inserts ''dated'' {{tl|citation needed}} tags at the current cursor location. The current date could be determined with JavaScript and added to the tag or else you could use subst'ed magic words. (Or of course this could be integrated into the wikEd code.) Has this been done before? —[[User:Danhash|danhash]] <small>([[User talk:Danhash|talk]])</small> 15:25, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
