Can someone please tell me, in precise technical terms, what is wrong with Wikia's WYSIWYG editor and why we can't use it?
I have heard that it has bugs in it, but I have not been told exactly what these bugs are, why they are more relevant for Wikimedia than for Wikia, or why they can't be fixed.
Years ago, we talked dismissively about WYSIWYG. We discussed the features that a WYSIWYG editor would have to have, pointing out how difficult they would be to implement and how we didn't have the manpower to pull off such a thing. Now that Wikia has gone ahead and implemented those exact features, what is the problem?
