--- Comment #1 from James Forrester <[email protected]> ---
Three things:

1 - If VE is OK to edit a namespace (and, in general, it's probably fine for
any
    that aren't signed, Template: or MediaWiki:) then we should just make that
    config change and not vary it per wiki. Make a distinct bug for that?

2 - Project: is frequently signed, especially on enwiki, so I think giving a VE
    editor in this context would be confusing and actively wrong. There is no
VE
    tool for signing comments, nor for creating the definition lists which are
    (ab)used so very widely for MediaWiki discussions right now. The intent has
    always been that signed content would be covered by Flow, and I think
trying
    to build tools now for a few months' usage would be a diversion from the
main
    task of improving VisualEditor.

3 - I think that this would end up being a rather broken user experience when a
    wiki switched from opt-in to opt-out, and all the pages that you used to be
    able to edit with VE suddenly vanish in a cloud of WT-only smoke, without
any
    explanation or obvious cause.

Consequently, minded to WONTFIX, but am open to suggestions
