shut down?

Summary by Jdforrester (WMF)

VE requires Vector skin with JavaScript enabled to work; fails badly otherwise. See bugzilla:37855.

I only see a 'view source' button... is it just me or has it been shut down already?

Your Javascript probably failed to load, because page protection does not work with this.

Yeah, I can edit Visual editor/Feedback, but it only has the regular editing environment. Jasper: Can you be a bit more specific?

By the way, the message I get is "You do not have permission to edit pages in the VisualEditor namespace."

He7d3r (talkcontribs)

Using ?action=edit does not work, you have to press the edit button. Make sure you have Javascript enabled in your browser settings.

The namespace is protected (sysops-only) unless you're using the VisualEditor; this is to prevent people inserting random code that we already know will break it. :-)
