Yeah I spotted that too :) This seems like an appropriate time for a quick report on last Friday's pairing session...
Zeljko and I paired up last Friday (22/11/13) and did some exploratory testing on Visual Editor. I had noticed something a little odd with the link on the Pair programming Friday for fun and profit page so we focused on that.
First though, Zeljko gave me a quick tour of Mediawiki/Wikipedia and explained how the environments worked andwhat they were used for. I created a Bugzilla account in the background while he was doing that. He also explained a little bit about how teams are structured.
Once that was done we were able to start investigating the potential bug. After running a few tests and experimenting with a few things (e.g., environmental? Number of words in the link? How did the links differ? etc), we successfully isolated the bug - good times! I found my first Wikipedia bug :)
Once we'd checked there were no dupes, I raised the bug. We had a quick debrief and Zeljko advised me on what tasks to follow up on next time I do some Wikipedia work.
I'd advise anyone that needs to pair up with Zeljko. The next step is to become familiar enough with the Wikimedia ecosystem to do some pairing with other new folks and start increasing the Zeljko number :)
Cheers,
Vern

I have just finished pairing session with Vernon Richards. He has noticed a broken link at the pairing page[1], we did some exploratory testing and found (and reported[2]) a bug in Visual Editor!
I have just noticed that a member of Visual Editor team has raised the priority of the bug to high! Excellent catch Vernon! :)Željko
