Wikipedia talk:External editors

MacOS X

So what about on a Mac? I'd love to use BBEdit for this. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 08:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Some of us are just ordinary users who want to be able to edit easily.

Wikipedia seems to be the domain of tech heads!

As an ordinary user interested in making a decent entry, with tables, pictures etc (not on this Wiki, but another Wikimedia project), I want to find a simple to use editor that is a bit better than the very basic editor.

So I came looking here, and all I found was tech speak!

Any hope for a simple installing application. Seems to me it is long overdue!

Thats not what this is for. This is for editing the wikitext in a program like notepad (where you might get features like find and replace), you're not getting wysiwyg editing with this feature. If its a non-wikimedia wiki, consider mw:extension:FCKeditor (Official). Bawolff (talk) 21:07, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
