Forum:Rich Text Editing

So, I've been watching the recent changes a lot lately, and the rich text editing (RTE) that Wikia implemented sometime before I returned here (about two months ago) still has bugs.

It's commonly used by IP addresses, who don't know to use plain text editing like most of the experienced editors do. Some of the bugs in it causes variable amounts of extra space to be put in the middle of the navigation templates (see here) and it also causes the character of a space to be rewritten as &#160, the HTML code for a space instead (see here). While the latter does not affect the appearance of the article, the former does, and both errors show up in the edit box.

I'm assuming we can't wholly get rid of RTE, or ask the Central Wikia to turn it off just at Zeldapedia, but users can turn it off in their preferences, so maybe we should ask new users to turn it off to avoid these errors? Anybody else have any thoughts?  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 03:13, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
