Description Rainer Rillke @commons.wikimedia 2013-07-05 19:50:09 UTC 
Original Bug title: 
Provide an API to activate VE on arbitrary textareas for Gadgets and user scripts and document it at [[:mw:VisualEditor/API]]

Please also create a mailing-list for those API updates.

Issue:
Since users will not be able to understand Wiki-Markup, please provide and API for turning-on VisualEditor on <textarea>s. Example use case would be the Translate Extension where translators still have to enter wiki-markup or LiquidThreads or whatever is adding Wiki-Markup to a page.

Providing an API to Gadget authors and other tools is an important matter; nearly all edits are made through gadgets at certain pages; thus it is not just an "enhancement".
Comment 1 James Forrester 2013-07-05 21:01:38 UTC 
This is a quite considerable piece of work; marking as "low" absent a huge push for this.
