What is VisualEditor?

The VisualEditor initiative led by the Editing team aims to create a reliable rich-text editor tailored for MediaWiki. This editor, which operates as a MediaWiki extension with support from the Parsoid project for HTML+RDFa, is architected to ensure that its fundamental features can function independently of MediaWiki, Parsoid, or Node.js. Since its launch in 2020, VisualEditor has been available to all users on MediaWiki.org and is also implemented across nearly all versions of Wikipedia and Wikivoyage. For numerous other Wikimedia projects and languages, it is provided as an optional Beta Feature for those logged in. While VisualEditor can be accessed in certain namespaces, including the main namespace, it is generally not available in discussion or template namespaces. One of the major hurdles facing the Wikimedia movement is the decline in the growth of new contributors. In response to this challenge, VisualEditor was introduced to remove unnecessary technical barriers associated with Wikimedia’s editing interface, which is critical for increasing the contributor base. By streamlining the editing experience, this initiative not only seeks to improve user satisfaction but also aims to create a more welcoming atmosphere for prospective contributors, ultimately fostering a thriving community. As a result, VisualEditor represents a significant step towards revitalizing engagement with Wikimedia projects.

What is ProseMirror?

Content editors should strive to produce documents that are not only tidy but also rich in meaning, all while remaining accessible to users. ProseMirror seeks to bridge the gap between exact content editing methods, such as Markdown or XML, and conventional WYSIWYG editors. It accomplishes this by providing a WYSIWYG-style interface that is tailored for documents with more structure and limitations than typical HTML. Moreover, users have the ability to adjust the format and arrangement of the documents created by their editor to suit the unique needs of their application. ProseMirror is built on a robust foundation that supports collaborative editing, allowing several users to simultaneously contribute to the same document. Its schemas are designed to handle documents with specific structures without necessitating the creation of a completely new editor. The architecture of the system is modular, ensuring that only the necessary code is loaded, which permits the swapping out of components as required. Additionally, the flexible plugin architecture provides an easy way to integrate additional features, thereby enhancing the editor's functionality. This adaptability positions ProseMirror as an excellent option for developers who are looking for an editing experience that can be tailored to their unique specifications, making it a versatile tool in the realm of content creation.
