Welcome!

Found a bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.? Create a ticket in the bug tracker.

Want to contribute? Get started quickly with tickets marked as good first bugs for new contributors or join a bug scrub. There’s more on the reports page, like patches needing testing, and on feature projects page.

Other questions? Here is a detailed handbook for contributors, complete with tutorials.

Tomorrow we have our weekly editor chat (9 June 2015 21:00 UTC) in the #core-editor SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. channel. Here are some points we want to discuss. If any of these are of particular interest to you, be sure to attend. 🙂

Last week we added the text pattern pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party, please test! Are there any other patterns we should add? High on the list are > for a blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. quote, #{1,6} for headings and --- for a horizontal rule. #31441
What should happen to word count? Do we (re)move it? When and how should it be refreshed? Currently it only refreshes on enter and backspace, which is not ideal. In any case we also need to fix the counter itself (ignore more unicode ranges, shortcodes…) and this makes the counter slower. #30966
Inline linking. We’ve been talking about this for a while. There are some interesting mock ups from @joen, we should iterate on them and code it. Link text may go away. Should we keep “Open link in a new window/tab” in coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress.? If you want to know more about the way it will work or help out, join us. 🙂 If there is consensus it may still make 4.3.
Another thing that should be coded asap is the caption placeholder. #32175

If there’s anything else you’d like to bring up that’s editor related, don’t hesitate to do so.

I’m not picking on you individually Ella, but why has WordPress (whether coming from dot com OR dot.org) seemed to have been on an incremental path to limit user Link Management. The standard old Link Manager was disabled by default over two years ago, and now needs this pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party to be re-enabled: https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/link-manager.

Also, I personally use “Open link in a new window/tab” every day, and wonder why the Core ContributorsCore Contributors Core contributors are those who have worked on a release of WordPress, by creating the functions or finding and patching bugs. These contributions are done through Trac. https://core.trac.wordpress.org. would want to stop offering that: https://toolbox-4-websites.com/design ?

Why doesn’t WordPress just post a disclaimer on the homepages of both dot.com AND dot.org stating:
“These are the things we DON’T want you to do with OUR SOFTWARE.”?

  The Link Manager is not related to the editor, and this is before my time. 🙂
  
  “Open link in a new window/tab” – I’m not saying we should remove it, just saying we should talk about it. In my humble opinion this should be the decision of the reader, not the writer.

Leaving a note here to remind myself for tomorrow: I’d like to see if there’s anything we can do to make it smoother when views refresh after an undo. It’s pretty jarring right now and all the more obvious when undoing a text pattern format.
- Ella Iseulde Van Dorpe 8:37 pm on June 8, 2015
  
  [32710] should fix it for some views.
  #32593 will try to fix it for the rest.

I personally like use and advise my clients to use the Word Count that is included in WordPress it helps me and them write content to a certain amount. Which has benefits to SEO. It small and unobtrusive if it’s not improved it should still be kept for these obvious advantages.

Regarding the inline linking mock ups, I personally feel that the one without dark overlay is best. It keeps the focus on writing and editing while when the overlay appears, I feel like doing something else and loosing my focus on the article. What do you guys think?
- Ella Iseulde Van Dorpe 5:17 pm on June 9, 2015
  
  Yes, that’s preferred, and it will likely be that way. 🙂
