Per a request from James Forrester, we should create a new browser test(s) in the VisualEditor repo that will verify the availability of VisualEditor on production wikis in two categories: 1) Test whether VE loads if invoked on each of the currently ~300 wikis that VisualEditor is deployed to. This is just checking that ?veaction=edit causes a VE surface to load. 2) Test whether VE's edit tab appears on the ~150 wikis to which is is deployed to as default for all users. This is checking that the tab for VisualEditor loads for logged-out users. Some caveats regarding this new test: 1) The test should not perform any writing actions to the wiki (just loading, no saving). 2) We're probably only looking for a quick verification every week or so, rather than every 12 hours (as with the existing schedule for other VE browser tests).
From James: "The list of 300 wikis is[1] – though that contains at the bottom 4 private wikis that shouldn't be tested." [1] http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=visualeditor.dblist
