The Filannoowwan fuulaa menu is to the left of the Publish changes button and the Switch editor menu. On this menu there is a button to open an Filannoowwan dialog with the following (left side) tabs:

• Ramaddiiwwan allows you to add categories to this page and to adjust how the page is sorted, when displayed within a category by setting a different index to sort with.
• Qindaa'ina fuulaa allows you to make the page a redirect and adjust options of this redirect, to adjust settings regarding the displaying of the Table of Contents, to disable the edit links next to each heading, and to define the page as a disambiguation page.
• Qindaa'ina olaanaa allows you to adjust the settings regarding indexation of the page by search engines, showing a tab to add a new section, and the displayed title.
• Languages shows a list of pages in other languages that are linked to that page.
• Templates used shows a list of links to each template used on this page.

The tabs of the Filannoowwan dialog are also displayed in the Filannoowwan fuulaa menu and can be opened by clicking on it. Furthermore the Filannoowwan fuulaa menu contains the items View as left-to-right or View as right-to-left and the item Barbaaduu fi bakka buusuu , which opens a bar, where you can insert words or regular expressions you are searching for and those to replace them with, together with several buttons for options.

---

The Switch editor button is next to the Publish changes button. It allows you to switch to the wikitext editor.

In the link editing dialog, you can then change where the link goes. You can also remove the link entirely by pressing the Balleessi button in the upper right corner of the dialog. You can also open the link's target in another window by pressing on the copy of the link in the dialog box. (You might want do this to check if an external link is valid.)

• Pressing it once will escape the link editing dialog and put your cursor at the end of the element linked (blue framed, to edit this element)
• Pressing it twice will put the cursor after the element linked, ready to type the rest of your text.

To edit the link label of an existing link, press within the link label and type the new one. But if you want to replace the entire label, please note:

• If you have selected (highlighted) the entire link label, the link will be deleted by typing any key.
• To edit the link label directly without deleting it, put the cursor within that link label, use the ← Backspace and Del keys (no more than necessary), and a narrow blue link area will remain there. Now you may type in the new label for the kept link.
• You can also link to categories, files and more.

---

In the second system, you again start by pressing the Eeri button. Then a dialog box opens, which includes several popular citation templates set up for quick access in the Harkaan tab. If your wiki uses this system, then you will find more details at Help:VisualEditor/User guide/Citation templates .

---

In the third system, you again start by pressing the Eeri button. Then a dialog box opens, which includes an automatic citation process using the Citoid service under the Ofumaa tab. If your wiki uses this system, you will find more details at Help:VisualEditor/User guide/Citations-Full

To edit an existing reference, press on it where it appears in the text (usually as a bracketed number). You will see either a Wabii icon (bookmark) or an icon (and name) for the template that was used to create this reference. In either case, pressing on the Gulaali button will open a dialog where you can edit the reference.

---

For the Wabii icon, pressing Gulaali opens the reference dialog. To start changing the reference information, press on it.

---

If what appears when you press on a reference is an icon for a standard template for citations (an example is at right), then pressing Gulaali will open the template editor dialog.

---

Inside the template editor, you can add or remove types of information or change current content. Only fields (template parameters) that have content will show, initially. To add fields, press on Add at the bottom of the editor.

---

---

If the page already contains a citation that applies to the text you want to source, then you can choose to re-use that existing citation.

---

In the Wabii dialog, look at the list for the reference you want to reuse, and select it. If there are many references, you can use the search box (labeled Eeruwwan ammaa keessa barbaadi) to list only those references that include certain text.

Your local wiki may have added extra citation templates to the Eeri menu. If so, you have quick access to the most-used citation templates for your wiki. (Instructions for adding extra citation templates to your local wiki are available at VisualEditor/Citation tool .)

---

Pressing on a template icon such as "Cite book" will take you into the template editor for that template. Important information fields may be marked with an asterisk. While the most common fields will be shown, not all of them are required.

To edit an existing gallery in the visual editor, press that gallery. Then, near the bottom of the gallery, press the gallery icon (a set of photos). This brings up the gallery editor, with the full list of images included in the gallery.

The gallery editor is currently a simple box that allows you to edit existing galleries using wikitext markup. To add a new image to an existing gallery, type the file name, followed by a bar (|) and the caption for that image. You must put each image in the gallery on its own line.

Find the template you want to insert by typing either its name or a relevant keyword. Results containing the search term in either the name or description will display in a dropdown. This should help you find a relevant template, even if you don’t know its exact name.

There are a number of other ways to discover templates that may be useful to you: you can mark some templates as your favorites, browse them by category, or view your wiki's list of featured templates. Documentation about these features is available at Help:TemplateData/Template discovery .

You can also look for other wiki pages with similar content and view or edit their page source to see which templates are in use. When you find the desired template’s name, you can type it into this field to insert it here.

Screenshot of the template search field in the Visual Editor

---

You can also edit a template that’s already on a page. When you select the template you want to edit, it turns blue, and a box appears displaying Qajojii. Then select the Gulaali link or double click on the template itself to open the template.

Screenshot of the VisualEditor interface with a template selected

---

Some templates are not visible to someone reading a page. In the visual editor, such hidden templates are still shown so that you can click and edit or delete them. The name of the template will be shown next to the puzzle icon and both will be grayed out.

Screenshot of hidden templates in the Visual Editor interface

---

You’ll see this dialog box when you’re adding a new template or editing one already in place. What you see in the box depends on whether the template in question contains TemplateData , helpful metadata added by other editors to make it easier to edit templates in the Visual Editor.

For templates that have some community-provided TemplateData, the VisualEditor displays a list of the named parameters and, often, descriptions and instructions explaining the meaning and required format for each parameter’s values.

Screenshot of template parameters in the Visual Editor interface

---

You can disable any optional parameter (which have blue checkboxes on the left side). If a parameter’s checkbox is grayed out and not clickable, the template requires that parameter, so it can’t be disabled.

When you insert a new template, you may find that some optional parameters are pre-selected. That means the author(s) of the template recommends the use of those parameters. It’s best to review all parameters that will be used in a template to ensure you understand their use.

Clicking an unchecked parameter adds it to the template. Clicking a parameter that’s already been added takes you to the parameter’s input field.

Some template parameters will show as "deprecated". Don’t use deprecated parameters when inserting a template; they’re only visible to you because those parameters are in use on older pages where this template was included.

Screenshot of template parameters in the Visual Editor interface

---

If you’re inserting or editing a template whose author hasn’t laid out its parameters in TemplateData, it has what we call "undocumented" or "unnamed parameters". In these cases, you should consult the page for the template itself. There you can learn how to correctly employ and work with all of the template’s parameters. This includes learning the exact names of the parameters as written by the template author.

If you find in the documentation that the template expects parameters without names, fill in numbers as placeholders for the parameter names using the undocumented parameter input, then add text to the values you want to provide as you normally would.

• first unnamed parameter: "1"
• first unnamed parameter’s value: "en_US"
• second unnamed parameter: "2"
• second unnamed parameter’s value: "yes"

Screenshot of a template missing TemplateData

---

In this example, the template in question lacks TemplateData but it was possible to autogenerate the parameters. This means that the undocumented parameters have already been added for you, but the names may not be easily understandable and the dialog cannot display any directions or descriptions. As a result the dialog box provides a link to the template’s documentation, which should help you deduce and fill in the template’s various parameters.

---

During editing, you may open template content consisting of multiple templates or a single template linked to some wikitext. This differs from the nested templates described below. In this case, the templates are better visualized as being stacked or connected.

This content often contains "unbalanced templates," templates which are incomplete on their own and need to be paired with some wikitext or another template in order to function.

These related pieces of template content must be created in wikitext, but can be edited in the VisualEditor. In these cases you will see a notice at the top of the dialog to signal the situation and a specialized toolbar will be visible at the bottom of the sidebar. There you can use the icon buttons to add additional templates, additional wikitext, delete elements or change their order.

Screenshot of the interface to edit multi-part template content in the VisualEditor

---

Templates can include other templates as the value for parameters. You’ll recognize it when you see a parameter whose value contains the double curly braces ( {{ }} ) denoting a template.

The VisualEditor can’t present this template within a template (a nested template) using the editor’s easy-to-use interface, so if you want to nest a template yourself, you’ll need to understand how to add the template by hand in wikitext into the appropriate parameter field.

---

Yeroo qajojii gulaaluu fixxe, "Jijjiiramoota hojiirra oolchi" irratti cuqaastee qaaqa cufuun gara gulaalaa barruutti deebi'uu dandeessa. Then you can preview your edit and make sure it looks the way you want and expect.

You may also see an error message, which (like the other TemplateData mentioned above) is community-provided content and may vary in usefulness. You may need to consult the template’s own documentation to get to the bottom of some errors. If you’re still having trouble, consider posting about your problem on the template’s talk page.

---

To remove a template in the VisualEditor, click the template box. Press the Del or ← Backspace key on your keyboard. The template will disappear from the page.

Screenshot of the button to remove a template

---

When editing a template on a page using the VisualEditor on a mobile device, you’ll see that the sidebar starts out hidden. You can make it visible by pressing the "Show/hide options" button.

Screenshot of editing a template on a mobile device

---

When you insert a template in a wiki page, its content and appearance are reevaluated every time the page loads, based on the template code and the values of its parameters. This means if someone updates the code of a template, then every page which uses that template will also get updated when they publish.

There’s another, much less common way to use templates, though, and that’s to substitute a template. Doing this permanently includes the template content just as it appears at the moment you insert it. It will not update if the template code is later changed.

Most users won’t ever need to resort to substitution. Substitution is typically only useful when you need to capture the exact appearance of one version of a template, such as when content is under development and needs evaluation.

To substitute a template in the VisualEditor, insert a template using the name syntax subst:<template name>. Then press the blue "Add" button.

Screenshot of editor using SUBST to add a template

You can use the visual editor to create lists, or to change the format of an existing list. There are two types of lists: unordered (bullet) and ordered (numbered).

To start a new list, just press on one of the two menu items shown here. Or, if you already have typed the list (on separate lines), select (highlight) the list you have typed, then press on one of the menu items.

---

Shown here are examples of the two types of lists: unordered (bullet) and ordered (numbered).

---

If you want to change the indentation level of part of an existing list, select the part of the list that you want to change.

---

Then use the menu, or press the Tab key. (The Tab key increases indentation; use the shift key plus the Tab key to decrease indentation)

---

Here is the result of increased indentation.

---

You can even mix ordered (numbered) and unordered (bullet) lists, if the list items have different indentations.

Now the "Table" menu is available. From that menu, you can add a caption to the top of the table.

---

To select a cell, press it once.

---

To edit the contents of the cell (for example, to add content or to correct a spelling error), double press in the cell. Or you can select the cell and then press Return.

To end your editing of a cell, just press elsewhere.

---

Tarjaa fi tarree itti dabaluu ykn balleessuu dandeessa.

---

You can merge cells: Select them, then from the Table menu, press on "Merge cells".

---

If you merge cells, only the text in one cell is kept; any text in the other cells is deleted when you merge the cells. If you decide that you wanted some or all of the text that was deleted, use the Undo button, move or copy the text you want, then merge the cells again.
