Thread:Extension talk:VisualEditor/VE and ConfirmEdit/reply (4)

VisualEditor has a hack specifically for ConfirmEdit itself, because MediaWiki doesn't provide a proper API for exposing this generically; each distinct error condition currently needs to be handled by each editor (VE, wikitext, etc.), which is sub-optimal. In the future we expect to help MediaWiki generalise this, but it will likely be a breaking change and it's not hugely high on our list.

For now, extensions that apply a CAPTCHA-like system, like Asirra or ReCaptcha will need to add a hack to VisualEditor alongside their 'correct' hack for MediaWiki itself.
