Enable VisualEditor extension on test.wikipedia.org and test2.wikipedia.org for all namespaces; for NS0 and NS2 on mediawiki.org
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

According to https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Version, the VisualEditor extension is installed, but it doesn't seem to be enabled. I think VisualEditor should be enabled for all namespaces, all skins, all users, etc. on test.wikipedia.org.

bzimport set Reference to bz43018.

Apparently there's interest in having VisualEditor enabled on test2.wikipedia.org as well (cf. http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-December/065034.html).

I believe Roan will be doing this later today.

http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing allows to "Enable VisualEditor (only in the main and user namespaces)"
http://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing does not offer enabling VisualEditor.

Roan: As this is assigned to you, do you plan to work on this and is this high priority? If not, please reset. Thanks.

This change enables VisualEditor on test2wiki, and will be deployed on Monday.

I fixed the namespace configuration last week, it's now the same on all wikis: VisualEditor is enabled in the main and user namespaces, as well as the VisualEditor namespace where it exists (testwiki and mediawikiwiki have this namespace for historical reasons).

Result of a typo. ^

Yeah; it would be helpful if gerrit changes which mentioned bugs were either always or never proxied by the bot to bugzilla, instead of the half-way house of being unknown. :-)

Apologies, all!

Feel free to file a new ticket with reference to bug 17322. :)

This is now deployed. Marking as fixed.
