Bug ID: 50402
Summary: VisualEditor introduces inconsistent action of "edit"
tab depending on namespace (sometimes action=edit,
sometimes veaction=edit)
Product: VisualEditor
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MediaWiki integration
Assignee: krinklem...@gmail.com
Reporter: eduard.bra...@gmx.de
CC: jforres...@wikimedia.org, krinklem...@gmail.com,

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When VE is active on a page it inserts its own "edit" tab (veaction=edit) and
renames the legacy edit tab (action=edit) to "Edit source".
Since VE is not active on all pages though the "edit" tab's functionality is
inconsistent across pages (sometimes opening VE, sometimes opening the Wikitext
editor).
VE should rename the legacy edit tab to "Edit source" on *every* page (even if
it is not active and therefore not inserting it's own "edit" link so the
button's functionality keeps consistent across pages.
This was also discussed on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#Change_the_.22Edit.22_tab_to_.22Edit_source.22_in_all_namespaces.
Please note (as discussed in the linked section) that renaming the legacy edit
tab globally by simply changing the existing interface message is *not* an
option. People not using the visual editor should not see "edit source" by
default but should continue to see the same text that was always there.
