Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

Per @Pompilos:

Hi. Visual editor include a poor version of Greek alphabet, able to write only modern Greek (monotonic alphabet), but not classical Greek, because it lacks polytonic characters. Can anyone add the lacking characters? They can be seen here.

For reference, this conversation was also opened in the VP at eswiki.

In case this helps, the character set in question is the Greek Extended set.

It is available in eswiki (and enwiki) in the character list at the bottom of the wikicode editor. Looks like that function is not present in the visual editor (to the best of my knowledge).

Can this charset be added as "Greek Extended" (or similar name) in the VE special character tool?

Hi there.

Though doing this is technically pretty easy, it's a change that affects all MediaWiki editors probably forever (slowing down the load of this tool by a small amount of time and adding a tiny bit more complexity), so I'd like to make sure everyone agrees that this is the right way to do this. Perhaps someone from the Language-Team team could comment?

The additional load time is probably < 1ms. As we defer the loading of the data we can aim for it to be comprehensive when it does load.

I can see this in the non-WP wikis but the name shows as "special-characters-group-greekextended", even in the English wikis.

Also, this is not visible in the Wikieditor, only in the VisualEditor. Not a real problem but I mention it because of the title of this item.
