This is not a bug/enhancement in the Poem extension itself, so I'm punting back to VisualEditor.

If I've got this wrong, please don't move the bug back to Poem, as this component is hopefully going to be removed soon.

False. The Poem extension fails to register a VisualEditor enhanced editor for itself. This is a problem with that extension. See also bug 43115, bug 43118, bug 43127, etc.

so I'm punting back to VisualEditor.

Why? It's not VisualEditor's problem that an extension hasn't been updated yet…

Please justify this.

All MW extensions that are deployed on the WMF cluster (and many that aren't) have a Bugzilla component, by policy. Are you saying that:

(a) you want us to remove this extension from the cluster,
(b) you want us to merge this extension into MW core, or
(c) you want us to break our existing policy for this extension?

(a) and (b), I guess. See bug 52061. I was going through a list of bugs in the Poem component, since they will all need to be moved once the change is merged (hoping it *is* merged, of course). Sorry if I'm getting too far ahead of myself, but this bug did seem like an odd one out, so I moved it out here.

Well, if Poem is to become a MediaWiki core feature, then it will turn into something for the VE team to worry about.

Also, if I may point it out, the WikiHiero extension is seemingly supported in VisualEditor core. The extension itself knows nothing about VE. is that an anomaly?

Moving back to Poem, then. The bug can be moved the MediaWiki/editing or whatever later, when bug 52061 is closed-fixed.

No, not really. It'll remain the responsibility of some code's maintainer, whoever that is (you?). In the absence of an obvious maintainer, that's the "Platform team", which sucks, but is rather outwith this bug report.

The VE team build VE and some of the MW-specific VE tools. We're not going to make an editor for EasyTimeline, and we're not going to make one for Poem, for the same reason. :-)

Yes; the code's yet to be moved into that repo. Give me a spare 10 minutes. :-)
