I think the banner with the "go here for Visual Editor" info is extremely easy to miss, especially since it's right under the help banner. It might be helpful if the text itself mentioned Visual Editor and referred readers to [[WP:INTREFVE]]. Don't have the time to do this right now, hoping someone else can pick this up or ping me later about it. -- [[User:Asilvering|asilvering]] ([[User talk:Asilvering|talk]]) 22:18, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 
:I adjusted the formatting of the notice to make it a lot bolder. I wish it were possible for us to detect which editor a user is using an automatically direct them to the appropriate page. The issue is mitigated a little bit, though, in that the source editor is the only one that really needs a how-to explainer page — the VisualEditor's referencing tool should be self-explanatory to most competent editors. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 23:02, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
::@[[User:Sdkb|Sdkb]] Thanks, that's perfect. Alas, regarding self-explanatory, I got here trying to follow the confusion of an editor posting at the Teahouse... -- [[User:Asilvering|asilvering]] ([[User talk:Asilvering|talk]]) 00:27, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
