Yes, veaction=edit . I don't know why the tab wouldn't show up, though.

Hello Ambassadors!
Below is the full deploy highlights for next week, but really, the week
of April 29th is fairly low key (versus this past week).
The main highlights are:
* The next update of MediaWiki is starting its deploy train with
test.wikipedia, test2.wikipedia, and mediawiki.org on Monday, then all
non-wikipedia project sites on Wednesday. Nothing major that changes
much is included.
** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.22/Roadmap#Schedule_for_the_depl…
* Notifications (formerly Echo) will be enabled on English Wikipedia on
Tuesday the 30th. This was planned for yesterday (Thursday April 25th)
but it was delayed.
** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo_%28Notifications%29
Thanks!
Greg

Hi all,
We'll be doing a blog post and other (on-wiki) messages, but I wanted
people on this list to hear earlier that we're close to having a new look
for account creation and login in MediaWiki core. The first launch of this
will be on an opt-in basis for testing by editors on their home wiki, and
we're shooting for at least login to be ready by the next MediaWiki release
on Monday.
Right now, you can test a version of both on our Labs instance,
http://piramido.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page, by applying the URL parameter
&useNew=1 to either account creation or login. Please let me know if you
have any questions or encounter a bug. One key item to note is that
localization is likely complete yet.
For background: this redesign is a product of testing by the Editor
Engagement Experiments team of the account creation form over several
months.[1][2] Our latest design is based on those A/B test results and
subsequent internationalization needs. We're also applying the same design
principles to the login page, in order to make them look and feel
consistent. There's more detail in our specification on mediawiki.org.[3]
Thanks!

Due to bug 47457, the Wikimedia Foundation is immediately disabling the
WikiLove extension on all Wikimedia projects until the underlying issues
with mw.loader are resolved. The following projects had WikiLove enabled
and are thus about to be affected:
arwiki
commonswiki
enwiki
fawiki
fawiktionary
hewiki
hiwiki
huwiki
incubatorwiki
iswiki
itwikiquote
itwikivoyage
jawiki
mediawikiwiki
mkwiki
mlwiki
nowiki
officewiki
orwiki
ptwiki
sewikimedia
siwiki
srwiki
svwiki
svwikinews
trwiki
urwiki
zhwiki
It will remain enabled on test.wikipedia.org for testing.
During this outage, no one will be able to use WikiLove to give or
receive comments, but all existing WikiLove talkpage entries will remain.
We hope this outage will only be for a few days, but we don't have an
estimate on when it will be resolved yet. Please help us to spread the
word to the projects that will be affected. We can respond to comments
and inquiries at the Bugzilla bug:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47457 (People using
Firefox can't load user and user talk pages).

All,
TL;DR: VisualEditor will be deployed on 14 new Wikipedias next week as an
opt-in alpha. Your assitance is requested to inform your wikis about this
and help get the software translated.
Next week (on 25 April) we are going to deploy the alpha opt-in version of
the VisualEditor to some non-English Wikipedias in the same way that it
has been on the English Wikipedia since December 2012.
This will let users get familiar with the VisualEditor, give us feedback
on what works and what is broken, and help us prioritise further work
ahead of the planned deployment as a 'default' editor for all users which
we intend to do in a few months' time.
Due to a number of issues we have been unable to release VisualEditor to
non-English wikis until now, and we would very much like to get some great
feedback from as many wikis as possible - especially for extended Unicode
and RTL languages, but also other languages. Does the VisualEditor work in
your language? Does it gel with your wiki's workflow?
The initial languages we want to target are the "top 10" Wikipedias by way
of scale - de, nl, fr, it, ru, es, sv, pl, ja - plus selected others to
help us discover issues we anticipate: ar, he, hi, ko, zh. These will let
us test most of the locales we are concerned about. If this goes well, we
hope to deploy the opt-in alpha to all Wikipedias.
Please tell your wiki colleagues that this is coming, especially if your
wiki is in this list! Additionally, you can see how fully-translated the
software is into your language in the stats at TranslateWiki.Net[0] -
please encourage wiki colleagues to help translate the messages ahead of
the deployment!
As a note, we have just updated the VisualEditor integration so that the
"Edit" tab goes to VisualEditor, and there is an "Edit source" tab to go
to the wikitext editor.
This change (which affects the English Wikipedia opt-in deployment and
MediaWiki.org as well as the new deployments mentioned above) moves the
way that VisualEditor integrates with the wiki's workflow to be closer to
how it will appear when it is the 'default' editor. It is still easy to
use the wikitext editor if that is what you want to do - the "Edit source"
tab (at least for now) will be "above the fold" and not in the drop-down
menu on Vector.
Happy to answer any questions you might have!
Yours,
--

Heya folks,
I've been pretty bad so far about using this list for Wikidata and
want to change that now. Sorry for not doing that earlier.
Wikidata phase 2 has been rolled out to the remaining 274 Wikipedias a
few minutes ago. I have sent a message to the village pumps with
details using global announce and there is a short blog post at
http://blog.wikimedia.de/2013/04/24/wikidata-all-around-the-world/
I'm grateful for any help you can provide and am available for questions.
Again sorry for not sending something earlier.
Cheers
Lydia

Hello Ambassadors!
I wanted to give you a heads up that there is a new extension available
for use on Wikimedia project wikis; Score!
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Score
It was enabled yesterday during the regularly scheduled MediaWiki
deployment window.
See what it can do at this English Wikipedia Help page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup#Musical_notation
This is a long time request, first reported in August of 2004:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189
We'll announce this in a more wider fashion in a few days, but I wanted
to give you all a heads up.
Thanks, and as always, please do let me know if you have any questions.
Greg
