Well, that's disconcerting - is this actually
all the edits with the

I'll have to make a point of hammering on it more ;-)
Yes the RecentChanges tag should be comprehensive.
I think part of this is due to the "opt in" nature of the tool, and the
rest is due to some well-known limitations. It doesn't yet handle
templates, images, or references very well, and it's pretty slow on English
Wikipedia still. I think the VisualEditor and Parsoid team are aware of all
these, and have work in progress or on the near-term roadmap.
Yeah, I expect the overlap between "people who follow wikimedia news enough
to know they can opt-in" and "people who do fairly complex formatting
work"
is pretty high. E.G. I have it installed, but rarely use it because most of
my on-wiki work is fixing references, which the VE can't cope with yet (or,
it's simply faster for me to do it by hand, as I can write markup in my
sleep).
Would it be helpful for the dev team to have more people using it on a
regular basis?
