Help:VisualEditor/Community Taskforce
Have you been involved in community work related to the visual editor? Have you supported your community with the rollout? Then please add your name below!
A cross-wiki group of experienced contributors who can help other Wikimedian fellows around the world, especially the ones from smaller communities with little to no capacity, to set up their sites and optimize the editing experience, is being built. Thanks for stepping up to share your experience and knowledge with others! Your efforts matter, this page acknowledges them, and provides a way for other editors to connect with the ones who could "mentor" them in the various tasks.
Please add your name and your home wiki name to all relevant sections, and remind others to do so. If you are wondering whether you're skilled enough to get listed on this page: you definitely are.

Educators
Are you using the visual editor for all or most of your edits? Are you showing others how to use it (either in a formal or informal context)? Have you written or improved related help pages?
- Tar Lócesilion (Polish Wikipedia)
- TheBeastdot (English Wikipedia)
- Amir E. Aharoni (Hebrew Wikipedia) [Most of my edits are actually with the source editor, because in practice I mostly fix markup issues that were created by, um, Visual Editor :) . But for other edits I mostly use VE, and I teach other people to do the same.]
- Liang(WMTW) (Chinese Wikipedia)
- geraki (Greek Wikipedia)
- czar (English Wikipedia) – will likely make Zotero translator how-tos ... eventually
- Checkingfax (English Wikipedia) - using mostly at edit-a-thons and at Bay Area WikiSalon monthly meetups. Also, want to write more Wikipedia Tip of the Day tips that focus on VE (most now ignore VE), plus I tweak VE documentation whenever I come across it and can pitch in. I was an early adopter of VE back when it had lots of unruly bugs.
- ImperfectlyInformed (talk) 04:38, 6 July 2016 (UTC) (English Wikipedia) - using it all the time, and helping people edit in person every so often in SF, not so much with the help pages
- Hadi (German Wikipedia; based in Switzerland) In my courses I ask the newcomers what they prefer to learn for editing, source code or VisualEditor - most of them prefer VE :-)
- Murbaut (Banyumasan Wikipedia) I'm teach with group. I'm can explain to other user at banyumasan language.
- ArgonSim (Portuguese Wikipedia)
- PotsdamLamb (Simple Wikipedia)
