Possible regression: Today I created a few fresh accounts on beta labs (desktop Chrome browser, mobile site) to test other stuff, and I noticed that when I tapped the edit pencil for the first time, I was taken to the VE editor instead of wikitext editor. Awhile back, we decided *not* to send new users to VE by default on any wiki and merged a patch to fix this -- looks like it's no longer working :-/
Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Trello card https://trello.com/c/0AK0U7Nl
So far haven't been able to reproduce this. Tested in desktop Chrome on beta labs.
When I cleared cookies, the problem disappeared, so it must've been just lingering VE cookie crumbs on my machine from all those sockpuppets I've been using on beta labs :) Closing.
