| == Adding often-used characters ==
| |
| VisualEditor also lets each wiki's community specify a list of often used characters which will show at the top of the page. This makes it easy for editors to use particular characters that your wiki encourages but that aren't on their keyboards. It looks like this:</translate>
| |
| [[File:VisualEditor screenshot – special character with often used.png|centre|frameless|600x600px]]
| |
|
| |
| To set this up for your wiki, you need to create the page <tvar|definition><code>MediaWiki:Visualeditor-quick-access-characters.json</code></>. This is a JSON page specifying which characters you wish to show and their sequence. Only <tvar|sysop><code>sysop</code></> (administrator) users are normally able to create or edit this page, because it is part of the interface. To get an idea of what is possible or useful, you can look at [[:de:MediaWiki:Visualeditor-quick-access-characters.json|the German Wikipedia's list]].

| If the text "Often used" appears instead of a localised message, this needs to be translated [<tvar|twnlink>https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translate&group=ext-visualeditor-0-all&language={{CURRENTCONTENTLANGUAGE}}&filter=%21translated&action=translate</> at TranslateWiki.net]; this message is the "<tvar|messagename><code>visualeditor-special-characters-group-other</code></>" one.
