Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/VisualEditor:Test is protected, how to do a test/reply

As part of the test here, "normal" (wikitext) editing is disabled for the entire VisualEditor: namespace except for sysops. This is mostly to ensure that people don't use the wikitext editor to break the VisualEditor for users trying it out before we've managed to cleanly abstract those elements, such as by putting tables or templates in. When we deploy the VisualEditor to main wikis, this protection won't be in place, as the editor should by then be able to cope with any wikitext page.

For the install here, the VisualEditor JavaScript code should load and replace the "View Source" button (where the "Edit" button normally is) with one labelled "Edit" which takes you into the editor - indeed, on slow connexions you may see the View Source button at first and then have it flicker into an Edit one.

It sounds like this expected behaviour isn't the case for you - can you describe what browser you're using? Some browsers are "blacklisted" because they sadly can't work with VisualEditor, or in a few cases, making them work would cost a huge amount of time and money that we can't justify. Also, the VisualEditor only works with the Vector or Monobook skins, and requires JavaScript. Sorry again for this not working.
