The only icon we use from 'oojs-ui.styles.icons-wikimedia' is the CC licenses logo. Recently in I6217692e98088814c7a33bbc7ef8174622e03f25 more Wikimedia project logos were added to that pack, and some of them are positively huge. They may be improved in T328492, but we're not using them anyway, so it makes sense to me to use a custom icon pack here. This reduces the download size for opening the editor for the first time (uncached) by around 500 KB. Change-Id: Ibe8a9ce9e4f1ded28fc9fd7e4ee41d5823123ceb |

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 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.
