Description MZMcBride 2013-07-29 17:16:33 UTC 
Rather than simply quietly inserting pawns and other placeholder characters into the page text, VisualEditor should do a sanity-check pre-save and either outright reject or loudly warn about edits that will insert such characters.
Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2013-07-29 17:18:02 UTC 
I suggest piggybacking on the existing sanity check code: display the "your edit may be corrupted" warning in the save dialog and tag the edit with visualeditor-check.
