VisualEditor is a MediaWiki extension that provides a rich-text editor for Wikipedia and other wikis .

It uses Parsoid to convert back and forth between wikicode and wikicode-enriched HTML+RDFa. Beyond the usual WYSIWYG features, it supports MediaWiki's template transclusion system, visual diffs, and importing and converting arbitrary HTML via copy/paste.

Not to be confused with the Wordpress visual editor ([wp-editor]).
