All,
A month or so ago the main access point for VisualEditor was renamed from:
ext.visualEditor.*viewPageTarget*.init
ext.visualEditor.*viewPageTarget*.noscript
… to:
ext.visualEditor.*desktopArticleTarget*.init
ext.visualEditor.*desktopArticleTarget*.noscript
…
as part of our work for merging the mobile and desktop interfaces. We
temporarily retained the old names as fall-backs for cached HTML purposes
and to give a moment for VisualEditor gadgets and scripts to be fixed
before the breaking change to their access API was moved.
This will now be merged into master today, after the cut, and so go out to
production from Tuesday 15 September as part of MediaWiki 1.26wmf23. For
the few gadgets and scripts that hook into VisualEditor, please switch over
now so your users aren't disrupted.
J.

Hi all,
Just a quick thought occurred to me while I was working on the {{Template:User
wikipedia/Tech ambassador}} template for Wikipedia-en - is there anything
further we could do to promote the "group/project"?
I was thinking of maybe working on *Wikipedia:Tech Ambassadors*, but
thought I should get some comments from everyone else first before being
bold.
1. Does the Tech Ambassador program need promoting?
2. Is Wikipedia: namespace the correct/most appropriate place for a page
to exist?
Looking forward to your comments.

I've gone ahead and created a WikiProject for enWP to try improve local
coverage. I'm also drafting Wikipedia:Tech Ambassadors.
Any input on the WikiProject would be really appreciated - at the moment
I've only included some basic information and goals.
