Did you know that you can use the visual editor on a mobile device?
Tap on the pencil icon to start editing. The page will probably open in the wikitext editor.
You will see another pencil icon in the toolbar. Tap on that pencil icon to the switch between visual editing and wikitext editing.
Remember to publish your changes when you're done.
You can read and help translate the user guide , which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has wrapped up most of their work on the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual diff tool . The team has begun investigating the needs of editors who use mobile devices. Their work board is available in Phabricator . Their current priorities are fixing bugs and improving mobile editing.
Please read their ideas and tell the team what you think would help editors who use the mobile site. The Community Wishlist Survey begins next week.
If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation. Thank you! — Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk ) 17:11, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

I wanted to share a follow-up to an RfC you participated in from late 2016/early 2017 . It was regarding making certain warning templates visible on mobile. The Readers web team has been working to improve how these templates appear on the mobile website. I shared an announcement with communities today that covers what is happening. If you have any interest, I encourage your support in giving feedback on the project page or helping update templates of this nature with some of our recommendations .

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Private label credit card . Since you had some involvement with the Private label credit card redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

Hello James Allison,
Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today. We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution. With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers'article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed. Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here ) 18:37, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello, James Allison. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process . It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans , topic bans , editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page MediaWiki message delivery (talk ) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
