Description James Forrester 2013-09-04 20:03:53 UTC 
For special pages, no information about page existence is exposed to mw.config, which means that VisualEditor is forced to assume it exists regardless.

There is wgCanonicalSpecialPageName set, when you are on a special page.

-> WORKSFORME
Comment 5 Alex Monk 2014-06-23 19:44:59 UTC 
This bug is about giving existence information for the relevant article (i.e. the article that the special page is working on). See bug 66885
Comment 6 Umherirrender 2014-07-02 05:51:04 UTC 
Sounds like you need the js variable 'wgIsProbablyEditable' or 'wgIsArticle' according to page under 'wgRelevantPageName' or a new variable 'wgRelevantIsProbablyEditable'/'wgRelevantIsArticle' to cover this.
Comment 7 Alex Monk 2014-10-20 19:37:29 UTC 
'wgRelevantArticleId' => WikiPage::factory( $relevantTitle )->getId() perhaps?

I'm not sure we want to introduce new variables here though...
