| fr = Liste de codes à insérer (insertable wiki markup) trop limitée actuellement
: Actuellement, il existe 36 wiki-codes prédéterminés (insertable wiki markup) en bas de la page de modification des articles, et il suffit de cliquer sur un des codes pour l'insérer dans l'article (exemples sur le wiki en français : <nowiki>[[Catégorie:]] [[Fichier:]] [[Media:]] [[Spécial:Diff/]] [[Spécial:Contribs/]] #REDIRECTION [[]] · [[commons:|]] [[m:|]] [[n:|]] [[q:|]] [[s:|]] [[b:|]] [[wikt:|]] [[v:|]] [[d:|]] · <></> <code></code> <math></math> <small></small> <u></u> <ref></ref> <ref name=""></ref> {{Références}} <noinclude></nowiki>, etc.
: Par exemple, j'aimerais pouvoir insérer <u>avec un clic</u> le code suivant, que j'aurais personnalisé moi-même, qui est très long à écrire en mode manuel : 
: <nowiki><ref>{{Ouvrage|auteur=|titre=|année=|éditeur=|tome=|page=|pages totales=|lire en ligne=|consulté le=}}</ref></nowiki>
| en = List of markups to insert (insertable wiki markup) is currently limited too much
: Currently, there are 36 predefined markups (insertable wiki markup) at the bottom of the page (in the 2010 editor), and you only need to click on one of these to insert it in the article (examples from Wikipedia in French: <nowiki>[[Catégorie:]] [[Fichier:]] [[Media:]] [[Spécial:Diff/]] [[Spécial:Contribs/]] #REDIRECTION [[]] · [[commons:|]] [[m:|]] [[n:|]] [[q:|]] [[s:|]] [[b:|]] [[wikt:|]] [[v:|]] [[d:|]] · <></> <code></code> <math></math> <small></small> <u></u> <ref></ref> <ref name=""></ref> {{Références}} <noinclude></nowiki>, etc.
: For example, I would like to be able to insert with one click the following code, which I would have customized myself, which takes a very long time to write in manual mode:
: <nowiki><ref>{{Ouvrage|auteur=|titre=|année=|éditeur=|tome=|page=|pages totales=|lire en ligne=|consulté le=}}</ref></nowiki>

* '''Who would benefit''': Everyone
* '''Proposed solution''': {{LangSwitch
| fr = Il serait extrêmement pratique de pouvoir créer moi-même mes wiki-codes prédéterminés (insertable wiki markup) et de les rendre disponibles en plus de la liste déjà existante, afin de pouvoir les insérer par un simple clic. Ce serait ultra rapide ! 
| en = 
It would be extremely useful to allow each user to create predefined markups (insertable wiki markup) and make them available in the already existing list in order to be able to insert them with a single click. It would be super fast!

===Discussion===
* <del>You should discuss with sysops to edit [[:w:fr:mediawiki:Edittools]] for edit tools, or consider install [[w:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-charinsert-core.js]] on your wiki.</del> [[User:Patsagorn Y.|<span style="color:black">Patsagorn Y.</span>]] ([[User talk:Patsagorn Y.|<span style="color:black">Talk</span>]]) 01:34, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
:Sorry, my bad. I support this if you mean something like "own charinsert" [[User:Patsagorn Y.|<span style="color:black">Patsagorn Y.</span>]] ([[User talk:Patsagorn Y.|<span style="color:black">Talk</span>]]) 01:39, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

{{ping|Tubamirum}} I've written such script for Ukrainian wikipedia ([[:uk:MediaWiki:Gadget-ImprovedEditTools.js]]), it has edit dialog and serializes your insertions to this format: [[:uk:User:AS/AStools.js]]. The only drawback is that it has to use your subpage as data storage, because Mediawiki devs can't add local metadata for years. I think it would make sense to have native solution with proper backend storage and plugins support. [[User:AS|AS]] ([[User talk:AS|talk]]) 17:06, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

:{{ping|AS}} your tool is very intresting. Another option could be saving them on the device via mw.store <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px purple">[[User:ValeJappo|<span style="color:white">Val<span style="color:red">eJa</span>ppo</span>]][[User talk:ValeJappo|<small style="color:red">【〒】</small>]]</span> 18:35, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
:: Nah, localStorage is not persistent enough for some use cases. [[User:AS|AS]] ([[User talk:AS|talk]]) 20:01, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

This and [[Community_Wishlist_Survey_2021/Editing#Tool_for_easy_user_buttons|Tool for easy user buttons]] should probably be merged. They're essentially same task, the difference is only which controls on page you want to bind with your insertion functions. [[User:AS|AS]] ([[User talk:AS|talk]]) 20:01, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

{{ping|Tubamirum}} Try [http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/using-autohotkey-macros-make-typing-life-easier/ Using AutoHotKey macros to make typing – and life – easier] (other, similar, tools are available). <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 20:44, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

This is basically the same as "[[Community_Wishlist_Survey_2021/Editing#Tool_for_easy_user_buttons|Tool for easy user buttons]]" (below), just without the button. Both are fine. Either one needs to happen yesterday. Don't particularly care which. --[[User:Joalbertine|Joalbertine]] ([[User talk:Joalbertine|talk]]) 16:25, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

* {{support}} That would definitely be far more convenient for editors to be able to just paste a long string of code than write all that code just to get the same effect. [[User:MarioSuperstar77|MarioSuperstar77]] ([[User talk:MarioSuperstar77|talk]]) 18:39, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
