wikEd disabled under Chrome 45.0

wikEd had to be disabled for Chrome versions 45.0.2454.85 - 45.0.2454.93 because of a browser bug. It was not not possible to type into empty wikEd input fields such as the edit summary or the find and replace fields. (September 16, 2015)

Greasemonkey update messages

If you experience repeated update messages without being able to actually update, then you might have two competing duplicate versions of wikEd installed.

Please go to Firefox Tools - Add-ons - wikEd (no version number) and click remove.
Then update or reinstall wikEd by clicking here.

Known general issues

• wikEd does currently not work in Internet Explorer and older versions of Opera (version 15 and below)
• If you are using a really old computer or are editing very long articles, then you could speed up page loading by temporarily disabling the syntax highlighting by pushing the button or by temporarily turning wikEd off by pushing the button next to the logout link.
• wikEd relies on the browser-internal rich-text editor and uses formatted text (similar to MS Word or Outlook). This causes the following inconveniences:
  • Syntax highlighting of new and changed text has to be invoked manually by pushing the button (see Firefox feature request).
  • It is not possible to enter tab characters. In order to enter tabs, you have to temporarily disable wikEd using the button.
• Be very careful when using the purple fixing buttons and always check the Show changes functions for unanticipated changes. There are cases where the simple rules used for these buttons can damage articles.
• wikEd is incompatible with certain scripts and extensions that rely on, or change, the original text edit box (see the next section).

Compatibility

Browser support

wikEd works under Firefox, SeaMonkey, Safari, WebKit, Google Chrome, Opera (version 15 and higher) but not yet under the currently not standards-compatible Internet Explorer.

Skin support

wikEd works with all native MediaWiki skins and most of their derivatives. Other supported skins include:

• Pinkwich5 (Citizendium)
• Monaco, Quartz, Searchwikia, Oasis (Wikia)
• Cavendish, Devmo (wiki.mozilla.org, developer.mozilla.org)
• Gumax [1]
• Pixeled [2]

Scripts, add-ons, and extensions

In general, wikEd is incompatible with scripts, add-ons, or extensions that rely on or change the standard text edit box. The reason is that wikEd replaces the normal text area with its own separate rich-text iframe. Many of these scripts will still work if wikEd is temporarily turned off by pressing the button, making the changes, and re-enabling wikEd. It is possible to make scripts compatible with wikEd (see below).

Compatible scripts

This is a short and incomplete list of scripts and gadgets that are compatible with wikEd:

• Navigation popups
• Twinkle

Incompatible scripts, add-ons, and extensions

This is a short and incomplete list of scripts and gadgets that are not compatible with wikEd:

• MediaWiki LinkedImages Extension
• MediaWiki Wikiwyg Extension
• Mediawiki FCKeditor Extension

Making scripts compatible with wikEd

The wikEd edit box is a rich-text iframe while the standard edit box is a textarea with the id wpTextbox1. Nevertheless, developers can make their script compatible with wikEd by copying the text from the wikEd iframe to the standard textbox before making their changes and then copying the content back to the iframe. The following code is cross-browser compatible and wikEd-independent:

// copy wikEd (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/wikEd.js) frame to wpTextbox1 textarea
if (typeof(window.wikEd.useWikEd) != 'undefined') {
    if (window.wikEd.useWikEd == true) {
        wikEd.UpdateTextarea();
    }
}

// make the changes to the classic wpTextbox1 textarea //

// copy wpTextbox1 textarea back to wikEd frame
if (typeof(window.wikEd.useWikEd) != 'undefined') {
    if (window.wikEd.useWikEd == true) {
        wikEd.UpdateFrame();
    }
}

A more sophisticated way to apply local changes similar to custom button handlers is shown below. The example implements a "<div>...</div>" add or remove function around selected text:

// this example code adds or removes div tags around the selected text

function TestHandler(obj) {

// select the appropriate text change target (whole, selection, cursor, focusWord, focusLine, selectionWord, or selectionLine)
//   focus... is the text under the cursor; ...Word and ...Line extend the target to the start/end of the word or line
  wikEd.GetText(obj, 'selection, cursor');
  if (obj.selection.plain != '') {
    obj.changed = obj.selection;
  }
  else {
    obj.changed = obj.cursor;
  }

// make your changes to the plain target text in obj.changed.plain

// remove the previously added formatting
  if ( /<div>(.*?)<\/div>/i.test(obj.changed.plain) ) {
    obj.changed.plain = obj.changed.plain.replace(/<div>(.*?)<\/div>/gi, '$1');
  }

// add the text formatting
 else {
    obj.changed.plain = '<div>' + obj.changed.plain + '</div>';
    obj.changed.plain = obj.changed.plain.replace(/(<div>)( *)(.*?)( *)(<\/div>)/, '$2$1$3$5$4');
  }

// keep the changed text selected
  obj.changed.keepSel = true;

// return to wikEd.EditButton() to apply changes
  return;
}

if (typeof(window.wikEd.useWikEd) != 'undefined') {
  wikEd.EditButton(null, null, null, TestHandler);
}

You can also add your custom functions to hooks that are executed on events such as wikEd setup, wikEd turned on or off, and classic textarea or wikEd frame turned on. It is also possible to directly apply changes to the wikEd edit frame, please see the wikEd development page.

Troubleshooting / FAQ

This section focuses on getting wikEd to work. For other problems see the wikEd help page.

wikEd does not load

You have followed the installation instructions above, but the wikEd logo is not displayed on top of the pages next to the log out link and the wikEd buttons do not appear on edit pages. Please try the following:

• Refresh your browser cache: hold down Shift while clicking Reload (or press Ctrl-Shift-R)
• Enable JavaScript in your browser
• If you are using wikEd on a non-Wikipedia installation check if $wgAllowUserJs is has been set to true in the MediaWiki initialization file LocalSettings.php by an administrator
• If you have installed wikEd on a skin-specific page such as User:YourUsername/vector.js, then wikEd is only available under that skin. Use the general User:YourUsername/common.js page instead.
• Check the JavaScript Error Console for error messages. See reporting JavaScript errors; Firefox: Tools → Web Developer → Browser console; push clear and reload the page; Chrome: Control button → Tools → JavaScript console. If there is an error message caused by wikEd please report to the wikEd discussion page.

wikEd info and navigation box

Every wikEd project page has a navigation box on top. You can add this template to an English Wikipedia page by adding the following code on top of the page text:

{{User:Cacycle/wikEd_template}}

The following code can be used for wikEd navigation boxes and templates on non-Wikipedia sites and non-English Wikipedia pages. The box uses external html links. If you are not on Wikipedia or another Wikimedia site like Wiktionary or Wikinews, then you have to upload the logo WikEd_logo64x64.gif to your own wiki.
