Merebo

Merebo is a free and open-source fork of the older Wikipedia editing interface Vector 2017. It was initially released as a fork by Italian Wikipedia editors unhappy with the changes introduced in the new Vector 2017 editing interface by the Wikimedia Foundation in 2013. The fork was named "Merebo" as a pun on the original name Vector, as the developers thought it lacked the element of control existing in its older version.

Merebo aims to provide the option for web editors of Wikipedia to switch to a version that closely resembles the original editing formats used in Vector. Merebo contains a set of focused webpages to facilitate collaboration in editing Wikipedia articles. The introduction of features like Windows-like buttons and content decorations, are some reasons cited by the community for dissatisfaction with new Vector editing options. These individual changes combined with an increasing desire for change of editing experience may be seen as key factors prompting the original fork of Vector into Merebo.

Merebo is distinguished by an interface design that flags each section across the page of a Wikipedia entry. This can be navigated by the editor to define how it appears for visitors to the webpage. The original homepage for Merebo displayed its proposals as wiki editing solutions on how it strips away navigation bars used in page editing. The users of Wikia base version, obtain a traditional understanding in remappable layout. Editor controlling it. Some praised Merebo as return of preferred navigation such as the browser from gloves to elemental.
