Trevor Parscal 49ffef5a0f Close the save dialog on teardown only, not on save
Closing a dialog with specific data means closing it again with
potentially different data, while the dialog is already closing, means
someone wins and someone looses. Silently failing in this case is bad,
because if the first close call was a cancel, producing no side effects,
but the second close call would have produced some side effect, the side
effect would never occur.

The problem here really was that the save dialog needs to be closed
before we can destroy the surface so we can uphold the assumption that
hold and teardown processes are operating on an attached DOM.

The solution is to automatically close the save dialog on teardown,
rather than on save. Since save triggers teardown, this has and identical
user experience.

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.

Developing and installing

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.
