I do not belive we have been formally introduced before, so I'd like to take this oppertunity to do so! :D Hi! (t) Josve05a (c) 13:49, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Josve05a:! How did you learn about the class? I interacted with students from the 2015 class while I was editing A Serious Man, and noticed the request for online support. Barte (talk) 15:45, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Well, I was a campus ambassador on sv.wp last year and applied for online volonteer-rights here on en.wp. I was granted the rights a while back but hadn't done anything, so I looked up current courses and this just caught my eye. The more volonteers, the better :) (t) Josve05a (c) 15:49, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Agreed. I've been at this for more than a decade (though way less edits than you), and I'm still surprised how much of the mechanics, infrastructure, and native culture I still have to learn. (Like--what's the difference between Josve05a and @Josve05a:?). Barte (talk) 16:00, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

I've been active on Wikipedia for about 6 and a half years (6 years and 1 month on en.wp due to SUL) but you learn new things each day :) (t) Josve05a (c) 17:21, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

How to switch between editing environments

Click the [[ ]] to switch to the wikitext editor.

Click the pencil icon to switch to the visual editor.

The editing interface will be changed soon. When that happens, editors who currently see two editing tabs – "Edit" and "Edit source" – will start seeing one edit tab instead. The single edit tab has been popular at other Wikipedias. When this is deployed here, you may be offered the opportunity to choose your preferred appearance and behavior the next time you click the Edit button. You will also be able to change your settings in the Editing section of Special:Preferences.

You can choose one or two edit tabs. If you chose one edit tab, then you can switch between the two editing environments by clicking the buttons in the toolbar (shown in the screenshots). See Help:VisualEditor/User guide#Switching between the visual and wikitext editors for more information and screenshots.

There is more information about this interface change at mw:VisualEditor/Single edit tab. If you have questions, suggestions, or problems to report, then please leave a note at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback.
