Forum:Disable the RTE NOW

Forums: Index > The World that Never was > Disable the RTE NOW

KrytenKoro - And when you see me standing there, you'll know you've got a friend with a rock, I mean a big-ass rock. TALK - I am sick of cleaning up after the RTE. In order to get it disabled, we need to show wikia that we've had a discussion and agreed on it, so here goes: The thing mucks up the coding, even for extremely simple templates like Template:Game or Template:Nihongo. If inserts space and blank lines throughout the page, and in general, no one uses it to do more than type, so there's no reason they can't use the regular editor.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? I've never used it. Didn't even know it existed until I started seeing people asking it to be turned off. More power to you.

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! Xion4ever Who am I? — 02:54, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

Riku's Love - "So what? Darkness is my enemy!" TALK - How am I supposed to face everyone?! Sounds bad and if it is it should go.

Eternal Nothingness XIII - I'm not afraid of what the darkness holds now. Even if you do wrest control of my heart from me, even if you cast me into the deepest, darkest abyss, you'll never sway me from the one cause that pushes me to keep on fighting. Whatever the cost, I'm ready to pay it. TALK - There's darkness within me... So what does that matter? I know I'm strong enough to hold it back. — 03:00, January 10, 2010 (UTC) I'm all for getting rid of the damn thing, but keep in mind we'd have a lot more errors as inexperienced users and even IP's attempted to use the regular coding method...

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 03:38, January 10, 2010 (UTC) 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 Talk to Me! — I once took an IQ test and got a score of over 9000. You're all morons. — 04:19, January 10, 2010 (UTC) 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 somewhat) can't STAND it!

KingdomKeyDarkside - You both... think you can do whatever you want. Well, I'm sick of it. TALK - Go on, you just keep running. But I'll always be there to bring you back! I hate that thing. It keeps screwing up my page, and a lot of things I write.

BebopKate - This one is Zazzles...because he's Zazzy! TALK - Here's your cat...and here's your $20...06:28, January 10, 2010 (UTC) The first time that thing popped up, I said, "What's this? I want to do things by good, ol' fashioned wiki code! How do I change this? In my day, computers were the size of refrigerators, and if you wanted a faster processing speed, you had to buy two hamsters!" Er, my point is I agree it's evil and it needs to go away.

Neumannz — Looks like I'm gonna have to jump...! TALK — I work alone! Except when I work with Xion...which is all the time. — 08:51, January 10, 2010 (UTC)   I concur. I've already made a habit of telling new users to shut the damn thing off. Lose it!

Shixoh - I'd love to dance the tango with you, but only if you stop lighting me on fire. TALK - Attacking me while I'm dancing won't do you any good. I'll set you on fire. I agree completely. This thing made trying to make my user page a nightmare. I've never had that many problems trying to do something like that before.
