Line 440:

I have seen some people tinkering with the language of the level one templates, and I undone most of these changes based on testing done by the WMF. I am not necessarily opposed to changing the language the templates, though I do think we should have broader discussion here first. Any agreed changes should be done across all similar templates. The link to the testing is [[Meta:Template A/B testing/Results]], and the link to the previous RFC is [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Level one user warnings]].--<span style="font-family: Maiandra GD">[[User:Mojo Hand|Mojo Hand]] ''([[User talk:Mojo Hand|talk]])''</span> 18:53, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

== RFC: Suggestion: Visual Editor Version ==

I suggest creating one made for visual editor as the editing summary box is in a different ___location then the source editors (the one this template was more or less based off of) [[User:Zppix|Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ]] ([[User talk:Zppix|talk]]) 17:59, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

===Support===

Support as proposer [[User:Zppix|Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ]] ([[User talk:Zppix|talk]]) 17:59, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

* '''Tentative''': if I understand correctly that the idea is to create a version of {{T|Uw-editsummary}} that shows where edit summaries go in the Visual Editor interface instead of the standard edit window, presumably to be used when the recipient’s edits are tagged VE, that sounds like a good idea. I don’t use VE myself, but I can imagine someone who does being confused by the illustration of an unfamiliar or irrelevant-seeming form. {{ping|Zppix|p=,}} please expand on the above proposal, providing some rationale, so people don’t have to guess what this is actually about.—[[User:Odysseus1479|Odysseus]][[User talk:Odysseus1479|'''<font color="slateblue">1</font><font color="darkviolet">4</font><font color="purple">7</font>''']][[Special:Contributions/Odysseus1479|'''<font color="maroon">9</font>''']] 04:11, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

*'''Support''', if I understand the proposal correctly. Sounds like a good idea. The visual editor ''does'' indeed handle adding edit summaries in a different way than the wikitext editor does. [[User:APerson|APerson]]&nbsp;([[User talk:APerson|talk!]]) 05:06, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

*'''Somewhat support''': If the proposal is indeed what {{u|Odysseus}} is saying, this does seem like a good idea. Might be worth it to add as a parameter to the existing template though. —&nbsp;[[User:Crh23|<span style="font-size: 110%;background-color:#E90800; color:#000005;font-family:Garamond;">&nbsp;'''crh'''&nbsp;<span style="color:White;">₂₃&nbsp;</span></span>]]<small>&thinsp;([[User Talk:Crh23|Talk]])</small> 19:01, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

===Oppose===

*'''Oppose''' Unnecessary [[WP:FORK|duplication]]. There is no need for a VE version of this page: these messages are used on user talk pages, where pages are displayed exactly the same whether people use VE or not; and since VE is not enabled for that namespace, the editing interface does not differ either. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 18:45, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

*'''Oppose''', assuming Odysseus1479's clarification is correct. IMHO, this template does a fine job already. And, I don't think edit summaries work differently in VE; there is text box in both cases (VE and SE) in which the user enters text. We can add a VE screenshot to the existing template; but I suggest bearing in mind the [[80-20 rule]].
