Visual Editor is a wiki feature that allows editors to make changes to wiki articles via a more familiar editing interface that does not require knowledge of wiki code. Any edit performed using Visual Editor will automatically bear a "Visual edit" tag as part of its edit summary.

Visual Editor was implemented on 10 June 2015. It will generally remain off by default for wiki users who registered prior to that date, and on by default for users who register thereafter, and for anonymous users (IP editors without registered accounts). Any registered user may toggle their personal Visual Editor setting on or off by visiting their editing preferences. When Visual Editor is switched on, article wiki code can still be edited directly by using an article's "Edit Source" link.

Visual Editor only activates on article pages, and is not available for use on talk pages, as well as on most pages outside article space (mainspace).

Visual Editor is currently not perfect. In particular, it is much slower than using the traditional code editor, and can be prone to certain glitches. It is also incapable of performing more complex edits, which may therefore require using the traditional code editor instead. Previewing your edits prior to submitting them is especially important when using Visual Editor. See the Gamepedia documentation (link below) for more details.
