Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Mobile and apps/Offer different wikitext editors including non-JS editor

Random proposal ►◄ Mobile and apps The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Offer different wikitext editors including non-JS editor

Problem: Currently there are numerous problems I encountered when I try to use mobile browser to edit wiki when I use the default mobile web editor. For instance:
1. When editing an article and then the browser page get removed from memory due to lack of memory, text typed in javascript-generated editor would not be remembered by the browser, however text typed in traditional text field would be
2. The current default mobile web editor cannot be used to edit a partially prefilled form on wiki like this community wishlist survey
3. The "insertable wikimarkup" thing is a bit hard to access on the default mobile web editor.

Proposed solution: These can be fixed by allowing users to change the mobile editor themselves or by changing the default editor for everyone

More comments: The first point in the problem I mentioned is an inherent limitation caused by dynamically generated pages and apparently cannot be fixed by patching the existing editor and thus a change would be needed

Did you try the timeless or monobook skin C933103? They are getting more mobile friendly particularly timeless, and may partly address your issues? Gryllida 22:48, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gryllida: ~~They still show the same mobile editor with same limitations.~~ (Actually it doesn't seems like the mobile skin vary according to the skin setting?) C933103 (talk) 01:19, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Jdlrobson Deskana, this seems like something your team might have an interest in. Are you guys already working on these issues (in which case we might withdraw the proposal). Or is this something you need help with? Are there any issues you see? —JMatazzoni (WMF) (talk) 18:00, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also ping @Jdforrester (WMF):, the question Jmatazzoni asked also affects the future roadmaps of VE. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 11:36, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
