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.​
