{{Xion4ever|time=02:54, January 10, 2010 (UTC)|text=Amen to that! About time the bloody thing was turned off. I can't tell how many edits I've had to fix due to it; same thing for telling new users! Thank you!}}

{{DTN|time=03:38, January 10, 2010 (UTC)|text=So the Rich Text Editor is what continues to add all of those extra spaces and lines between sections and templates of an article. Definitely be gone with it. Also, ENX, that's why Wikia provides the "Editing Tips" box to the right of the editing window, as well as several help pages for wiki-markup. I definitely don't think that will be a problem at all.}}

{{JFHavoc|time=04:19, January 10, 2010 (UTC)|text=I've edited on the FF wiki before and I don' think they have the RTE, why is it that ''we'' have it? It messes up tons of articles and I (being a perfectionist <small>somewhat</small>) can't STAND it!}}

{{KrytenKoro|Okay guys, it is still inserting blank lines when there shouldn't be any. This was one of our main concerns with the RTE, so is everyone fine with me requesting (a THIRD time) for it to be turned off?}}
{{Xion4ever|time=19:02, January 17, 2010 (UTC)|text=Yes, please! Having the RTE off is WAY overdue..}}
{{neumannz|time=19:05, January 17, 2010 (UTC)|text=I agree, they're gonna need to put a lot more work into this thing before it's in good shape to use.}}
{{DTN|time=19:38, January 17, 2010 (UTC)|text=This reminds me of when Wikia was also slow to remove the blogs. Wikia sure can be touchy about their new features. Yes, please get rid of the Rich Text Editor. This version still presents the same issues that the last one did.}}
{{KKD|time=04:01, January 20, 2010 (UTC)|axel=Yes! Get rid of the stupid thing.}}
{{TNE|time=04:19, April 12, 2010 (UTC)|text=Most new people who log in end up using the RTE and don't know how to take it off. I think the best thing for us to do is to get all new users (whoever we tend to) to stop using the RTE - I'm sure we all know how to turn it off. If people risk messing up with templates, we make them as foolproof as possible (like what Kryten's been doing to the Reflist and a whole lot of other things).}}
{{BebopKate|time=22:39, April 13, 2010 (UTC)|text=You make a good point.  I'll add that to the [[Help:New user guide|New Members Guide]].  Perhaps it will help some.
ETA: Made a quick little [[Help:New user guide/Rich Text|tutorial]] here and added a note to the guide.  Please let me know if it doesn't display well on your monitor so I can tinker with the formatting if needed.}}
{{neumannz|time=00:04, April 14, 2010 (UTC)|text=Now, that looks perfect. Now I know where I can send the godless heathe--I mean, the new editors, instead of having to explain it over and over myself. Thanks, Kate!}}
{{TNE|time=01:09, April 14, 2010 (UTC)|happytext=Yay, the link's on ^_^}}
{{ZTG|small=I fully agree. I had it on when I got IE8, and it was okay. All of a sudden, I go to edit a page, and all I see is: jfasdhgasdhadf6g9as6f9847723423654353453#$%#$%^#^#5345432561346534^#$%^%$@%^#$^@&%3^#45. So, ultimately, shut the thing off. This time, let's make it permanent!}}
{{neumannz|time=06:42, April 27, 2010 (UTC)|text=Holy crap, is it ''gone''?!}}
{{TNE|time=06:54, April 27, 2010 (UTC)|blahtext=Gone ? The page is still there ; I just accessed it a few hours ago. The only thing that it needs is a category change.}}
{{neumannz|time=07:06, April 27, 2010 (UTC)|text=No, not that! The RTE!}}
{{TNE|time=09:26, April 27, 2010 (UTC)|text=Well, if the RTE is gone, then it's good news. I disactivated the RTE quite a while ago so I wouldn't know. What about you ?}}
{{neumannz|time=15:01, April 27, 2010 (UTC)|text=Well, I don't see it under Preferences. I also logged out and tried editing, and I still didn't see it, so... looks like it's gone!}}
{{TNE|time=15:13, April 27, 2010 (UTC)|happytext=Yep, it's official, guys : I checked the Preferences and here's what they did :
#They disabled the tabs in the Preferences bit.
#There is no Rich Text Editing, so that means our Help Guide to turn off the RTE might need to be updated or even removed.
And I don't know why they disabled tabs, but guys, it's official :
<big><big>ZE RTE EES GONE !</big></big>}}
{{JFHavoc|time=17:49, April 27, 2010 (UTC)|happy=Thank goodness. Only took them like 4 months =_=}}
{{BebopKate|time=23:01, April 27, 2010 (UTC)|text=Hah, that didn't last long, did it?  Ah well...I'll take it down and edit the new user page accordingly. ^_^
Is it just us, or are other wikis RTE free now?}}
{{TNE|time=00:48, April 28, 2010 (UTC)|text=I believe it's either just us, or it's just the English wikis. I checked my other active wiki, KHFR, and KHFR still has the RTE option. Not to mention the nbsp marks I have to correct without fail.... -____-}}
{{LapisScarab|time=00:52, April 28, 2010 (UTC)|text=I don't see the option on my Zelda Wiki account, so it might just be the English Wikis. EDIT: The Bleach Wiki still has it though. Curious.}}
{{TNE|time=02:13, April 28, 2010 (UTC)|text=Bleach Wiki still has the RTE, and KHW and Zelda don't have it ? I doubt TSW has it either, though I could be wrong.
The side of the Francophones always gets changes later than the English versions (we don't even have WikiStickies), so I'm not surprised.}}
