Description Amir E. Aharoni 2013-07-16 18:51:41 UTC
When creating a new article in the source editor, a box with the message newarticletext appears at the top. It doesn't appear in the VisualEditor.

Compare:

This is something that obviously must be fixed before VE is enabled by default, which is planned for Real Soon Now(tm).

By default for whom on which wiki? It's been enabled by default on enwiki since 1 July for logged-in users and since 15 July for anonymous users too.

@James, before marking this trivial, I hope you did an impact assessment on
1. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Newarticletext-0
2. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Newarticletext
3. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Newarticletext
4. https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Newarticletext
5. https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Newarticletext
6. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Newarticletext
7. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Newarticletext
8. https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Newarticletext
9. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Newarticletext

I know you didn't, because on at least one of those projects there is critical functionality in this message.  Since you and O Keyes (on a different bug about missing interface messages) are being so rude, I'll let you find out the hard way.

The resolution of Bug 51160 gives me hope. French Wikipedia transcludes Talk:.../Suppression subpages for some deleted articles.
