User:Colgatecity/Visual Mode

Hey Robloxians,

Do you want change? I've recently proposed an idea to other users here about disabling visual mode, and we would (instead) use visual mode. Doing so would be a complicated process that would involve contacting Staff. This would, in the end, help our wiki, and would help users improve their knowledge about coding. If you want to try out Source mode, it has been here for a while (although it hasn't been mandatory since 2010), and can be accessed by clicking 'source' while editing (located at upper right hand corner).

Please comment below in the "Agree" section if you agree; you want change, and you want visual mode to be disabled. Please comment in the "Disagree" section, if you disagree, but remember to provide reasoning for disagreeing.

Agree

 * wookee8- Hmm, This would help me do coding better on computers and my computer classes :D
 * XRedRobloxerX- I definetly agree, it would be better to code.
 * Dakota J. F.- Agreed, this will benifit us greatly.
 * As a die-hard programmer, I prefer source. Quentonious, Wiki Enthusiast  08:00, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Let's.

Disagree

 * The JoTS - I'm more unsure rather than solidly decided on this topic, but I feel that while embracing change is ultimately a good thing- I can't help but feel this might actually be a mistake. Both modes have their benefits and distractions. For example: using visual mode allows for a preview of your edits without continuously mashing the "Preview" button and it's a more welcoming sight than seeing the cluttered code that source mode provides. It's also true that visual mode sometimes shows the occasional glitchy hiccup and source mode provides a more definite control of your edit, but source mode can turn away potential & new editors and could be an intimidating sight. I feel that both modes compliment each other and they both cancel out each other's cons. I believe that limiting editors' tools to provide edits can result in unexpected consequences. ...Then again- the ability for your browser's spellcheck enabled in source mode is a MAJOR plus. :P
 * If you prefer not to use visual mode you can still use source mode by pressing the tab in the upper-right. Considering that most of our users would have no idea how to use basic wiki formatting though I don't think forcing source mode on everyone would be a good idea. Ajedi32 00:20, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
