Introduction
So, many of you may have heard about the new VisualEditor, but noticed that BTP hasn't yet taken the initiative to see if it should be a feature implemented here. For any who don't know, VisualEditor is a much easier way of being able to fully customize articles and pages -- including templates.

How It Will Work
What we currently have as a visual editor is a good deal restricted, and VE is far ahead from that editor, in speed and ease of use. If you'd wish to test it out for yourself, please visit the Community Test Wikia.

If the suggestion is approved (majority rule), then the VisualEditor will be put into effect for a set of time starting 3 days after the vote comes to a close.

What It's Come Down To
For those who've tested, please weigh in on whether you feel we should test the VisualEditor in the future. To give everyone the best opportunity to vote, this will be open for two weeks, at which point all votes will be counted and we'll see if it's time to get it implemented.

When voting, you must say how long we should implement the VisualEditor for (from this list only):
 * 1 Week
 * 2 Weeks
 * 3 Weeks
 * 4 Weeks/1 Month
 * Permanently

All users are to vote in favor by replying below like so (also providing how long VE should be present for): - For those who want Topic of the Week to happen. - For those who are undecided or are indifferent; you are free to change your decision later (as are those supporting and opposing), but it has to be before we count votes. - For those who are truly against Topic of the Week; you're who we're looking for to see what about Topic of the Week may not be fitting. The voting will close in two weeks, on February 2, 2013 at 0:00 UTC. This topic will be closed at that time, and tallies will be made for support and duration of the implementation if the feature is accepted. Also, administrators or members of CotG are allowed to vote in this stage. You are free to change your vote at any time before the topic closes, and you can also suggest additions here that are relevant to Topic of the Week that may make it even better.
