Description

VisualEditor is a project to create a reliable, full-featured rich-text or "visual" HTML editor for the Web. Though VisualEditor itself is an HTML editor, it is integrated into platforms for use there, primary in #MediaWiki with the VisualEditor-MediaWiki integration, used in conjunction with the Parsoid parsing service to provide the HTML+RDFa.

Our projects are arranged as follows:

VisualEditor – Anything related to VisualEditor, including related extensions.

VisualEditor-ContentEditable – Items related to the contentEditable technology at the core of VisualEditor, such as typing or selection issues.
VisualEditor-ContentLanguage – Items related to specific language issues, like interference with an Input Method Editor.
VisualEditor-CopyPaste – Items related to copying, cutting and pasting content.
VisualEditor-DataModel – Items related to the core data model code inside VisualEditor, like corruption issues.
VisualEditor-Edit Cards – Items related to the editing interface that shows additional details about, and actions related to, editable elements within articles.
VisualEditor-EditingTools – Items related to the main editing tools inside VisualEditor, like lists or text styling.
VisualEditor-Initialisation – Items related to the loading (and unloading) of VisualEditor itself.
VisualEditor-InterfaceLanguage – Items related to the i18n inside VisualEditor.
VisualEditor-Links – Items related to adding and editing links inside stand-alone VisualEditor. You probably want VisualEditor-MediaWiki-Links.
VisualEditor-Media – Items related to adding and editing media inside stand-alone VisualEditor. You probably want VisualEditor-MediaWiki-Media.
VisualEditor-Performance – Items related to the performance of VisualEditor.
VisualEditor-Tables – Items related to adding and editing tables inside VisualEditor.
VisualEditor-VisualDiffs – Items related to the visual diff system inside VisualEditor.

VisualEditor-MediaWiki – Items related to the use of VisualEditor inside MediaWiki.
VisualEditor-MediaWiki-Links – Items related to the adding and editing of links in VisualEditor inside MediaWiki.
VisualEditor-MediaWiki-Media – Items related to the adding and editing of media in VisualEditor inside MediaWiki.
VisualEditor-MediaWiki-Mobile – Items related to the use of VisualEditor inside MediaWiki on mobile devices.
VisualEditor-MediaWiki-Plugins – Items related to the creation of VisualEditor tools for MediaWiki extensions.
VisualEditor-MediaWiki-References – Items related to the adding and editing of MediaWiki Cite references in VisualEditor.

While this probably works great for people who use VE, I find it inconsistent as someone who defaults to the non-VE wikitext editor. This new edit link, otherwise identical to the rest, surprisingly opens VE instead of the expected wikitext editor.

DLynch added a comment to T406376: In CI explicitly define VisualEditor as a dependency.

You may / may-not want to exclude extensions that have a RL module that's defined with a VE dependency but then only uses it in the VisualEditor PluginModules section of the extension.json. That pattern exists to allow an optional dependency where if VE is also installed, code to support it will get loaded.
