[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Education] How to force to enable Visual Editor

[Ziko van Dijk]

Hello,

I think that for beginners things must be as simple and clear as
possible. Make them manipulate the preferences at the beginning of the
session is already complicated and a waste of time. Don't forget that
beginners already have to learn so many things quickly, so the more
you can reduce, the better.
Actually I'd prefer to have a model wiki that looks like Wikipedia but
is best suited to use in trainings.

Kind regards
Ziko
