VisualEditor is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor for MediaWiki. It lets editors edit without memorizing or looking up wiki markup. It is one of the two available edit modes, along with source editing.

Skin Support
VisualEditor was originally designed for the default MediaWiki skins, which have the best support for it. ScratchWikiSkin2 (the default skin on the Scratch Wiki) supports VisualEditor fairly well, but there are still issues waiting to be fixed.
Known Issues
- VisualEditor does not currently render the <scratchblocks> tag and does not support adding blocks to articles.
- VisualEditor does not work in transcluded and big pages.
- The minimum width is too low, causing the editing tools to be blocked by the wrapped box. This is particularly an issue when trying to create new pages.
