Here's some more detail about why: - Wrapping selections in wikitext doesn't really make sense in VisualEditor due to the nature of it's data structures[1]. - The VisualEditor API is not complete yet, but it's designed to make it easy to create new extensions, but also easy to reuse parts of other extensions - an area in particular where WikiEditor was flawed. - Trevor [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Software_design#Data_Structures _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
