	Visual editing seems to be not available for Discussion articles. This is annoying when trying to copy and paste a piece of a table from an article into a Discussion article, and presumably would be even more of a problem when trying to copy a spreadsheet into a table in a Discussion article.

	: This is more of a feature request than a bug, seeing as Wikipedia doesn't allow the visual editor in the discussion (talk) namespace, and it seems to be the default configuration for MediaWiki. Unsurprisingly, I have never experimented with the visual editor on a talk page, so I don't know whether it would work well there, with the standard format for talk pages and whatnot. In any case, as a workaround, you can temporarily use the source editor (with the "Edit source" button) to copy a table from a given page and paste it on a talk page. Similarly, you can paste a table from a spreadsheet into the visual editor into a user page or in the [[~~Xenharmonics~~ Wiki: Sandbox]], then use the source editor on that page to copy the table's wikitext source into the talk page. It might not be as efficient as just using the visual editor in the talk namespace directly, but it's likely that that would cause other issues which might need just as much time to work around. --[[User:Fredg999\|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999\|talk]]) 06:40, 30 August 2024 (UTC)		: This is more of a feature request than a bug, seeing as Wikipedia doesn't allow the visual editor in the discussion (talk) namespace, and it seems to be the default configuration for MediaWiki.
