It won't be the same as for WikiEditors, because the two are very
fundamentally different. WikiEditor gives you a toolbar that allows
you to insert and manipulate wikitext. VisualEditor gives you
something similar (a toolbar that allows you to insert and manipulate
rich content), but it also gives you inspectors with pop-up dialogs,
toolbar buttons that can change state depending on what's selected,
and much more. You can also add new *types* of content, change how
content is rendered, etc. The possibilities are endless compared to
WikiEditor.
