Description WhatamIdoing 2013-09-11 20:05:01 UTC 
For BLP's and disambiguation pages on the English Wikipedia, an extra edit notice is provided through the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:EDITINTRO system using Extension:InputBox and some code in MediaWiki:Common.js. VisualEditor does not work with Extension:InputBox, so the edit notice is not displayed. 

I believe that this system of notifications is in use only at the English Wikipedia.

Comment 2 Richard Morris 2013-09-12 07:20:00 UTC 
To work as desired VE would need to respect the editintro= url parameter. For example
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bahn?veaction=edit&editintro=Template:BLP_editintro
and use that to fill in the edit notice with Template:BLP_editintro.
A couple of lines in MediaWiki:Common.js would add the parameters to URL's for all BLPs.
