How do I allow my users to choose wikitext/source-edit or VisualEditor AND use the wikitext/source-edit by default, not VisualEditor?
My users like VisualEditor, but it isn't always the right feature for editing pages that are primarily transclusions or conditional code. I would like MediaWiki to default to using "Edit Source" aka raw wikitext, but still keep the option to click the (Visual) "Edit" button to switch to VisualEditor.
I have tried many things in settings, but most just seem to remove the option for using VisualEditor entirely.
On all existing pages, things work fine: There are two buttons shown:
- "Edit" (VisualEditor) and
- "Edit source" (wikitext).
Users may click whichever button they prefer. However, following a redlink (URL ends in ./{pagename}&action=edit&redlink=1) always opens up a page in VisualEditor and furthermore does not allow the user to switch to "Edit source". Source editing button does not work
Thank you for your time.
P.S. I am using Skin:Citizen, a known compatible skin.
