David Lynch e947e53f98 Edit check: stop from appearing outside the main namespace
This was accidentally removed in d69d366469 during its refactor.

Because of the change to how checks are decided to be shown, I've made
AddReferenceEditCheck always be required -- later code in
hasAddedContentNeedingReference assumes that it's loaded anyway, so a
wiki deciding to configure it to not load at all for some account types
would have broken saving.

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 VisualEditor.
