Hello and thank you. Does it mean I can add some code to my user common.js, so that VE will work in edit window on all namespaces? Igal (User:IKhitron)

Hi everyone,
I'm very excited to announce the release of a new MediaWiki extension: VEForAll. Its name stands for "VisualEditor For All", and it provides something that some people have been asking about for a long time - a way to incorporate the VisualEditor interface into textarea inputs other than the one in the standard VisualEditor tab.
The VEForAll extension works by providing a JavaScript function that, when called on a textarea input, adds the VisualEditor interface to it (if the VisualEditor extension is already installed). So the extension itself doesn't actually do anything - instead, it provides an API for other extensions to use. At the moment, two extensions can already make use of VEForAll if it's there: CommentStreams and Page Forms. (You need to use the latest version of either extension to get it working.)
You can read more about VEForAll, and download it, here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VEForAll
This extension has five credited authors, although most of the credit goes to the first two: Pierre Boutet and Clément Flipo of the consulting company Dokit, and the site Wikifab. I feel like I should give both the company and site a plug, in their honor:
http://www.dokit.io/en/about-us https://wikifab.org/wiki/Accueil
Please feel free to try out the extension, and let us know on the talk page if you run into any problems.

Hi,
Probably... but only on a wiki that has VEForAll installed on it, of course.

Of course. Usually, I do not try to run a software that wasn't installed yet. ;-) But how probably is this probably? Thank you, Igal

Hi,
Oh, okay - the fact that you had included the wikitech-l mailing list on this thread made me think that maybe you thought it could already be used on Wikipedia, etc., but clearly that's not the case.
I don't see any reason why you could not call the relevant JavaScript function ("applyVisualEditor()") from a JS wiki page like MediaWiki:Common.js, so my guess is that it would work, but you never really know until someone tries it out.

Great. Is there some test wiki, where the extension is already deployed? Thank you.
