I'm more in favor of leaving no garbage behind. The TODO with a date is a good way of making sure this gets removed eventually. This could have been part of Ie6eea76. The new code is added to the same spot where the code removed in Ie6eea76 originally was. Bug: T296471 Depends-On: Ie6eea76dacdc614ecb910c48e7e1f519b8c69322 Change-Id: Idec63201ff4aa52a0c53c6d007577a93c94e0ec0 |

VisualEditor
VisualEditor provides a visual editor for wiki pages. It is written in JavaScript and runs in a web browser.
It uses the Parsoid parser to convert wikitext documents to annotated HTML which the VisualEditor is able to load, modify and emit back to Parsoid at which point it is converted back into wikitext.
For more information about these projects, check out the VisualEditor and Parsoid pages on mediawiki.

For information on installing VisualEditor on a local wiki, please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor
For information about running tests and contributing code to VisualEditor, see CONTRIBUTING.md. Patch submissions are reviewed and managed with Gerrit. There is also API documentation available for the VisualEditor.
