Bartosz Dziewoński ef8e7945cc Stop showing the "Editing tabs" popup some time after SET switch
If someone has edited before the switch (2016-ish), never edited since
then, and try to edit again now, it's probably no longer helpful to
show them a popup dialog about a change that happened 5 years ago.

The immediate motivation for this, though, is T273189. We discovered a
bug with the preferences that, among other issues, caused this dialog
to not be shown in some cases where it should have been, and fixing
the bug now would cause it to be shown the on the next edit attempt.
If someone has edited before the switch (2016-ish), *and* edited since
then, and try to edit again now, it's definitely not helpful at all to
show them a popup dialog about a change that happened 5 years ago.

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.
