Enabling VE in Category Page? And enable VE always.

I'm wondering

  1. when i go to a category page, how can i enable visualeditor in that page?
  2. when i search for a page that doesn't exist, Create the page "Test" on this wiki! See also the search results found. By clicking the Test word, it always automatically select Create Source. Is there anyway I can have it select Visual Editor first?

I have tried the following, and the category doesn't seem to have VE Edit available, only sourceedit. I notice the NS_USER is not necessary, somehow VE is always shown there.

$wgVisualEditorNamespaces[] = array_merge($wgContentNamespaces,array( NS_USER, NS_CATEGORY));

I also tried this, and it didn't work.

$wgVisualEditorNamespaces[] = NS_CATEGORY;

VE is already working in Main namespace. Just not working in Talk, and Category namespace.

This is on my private wiki.

I believe that the single edit tab feature will solve #2.

Since I've updated to MediaWiki 1.26.2 and the latest VisualEditor I also cannot enable VisualEditor for category pages. Before the Update (1.25.3) I could edit category pages.

I have the same issue. I would like to enable VisualEditor for Category pages. Also running 1.26.2.

Has anyone managed to enable this yet?

Add this to your LocalSettings.php

// Enable VisualEditor in Category Page

$wgVisualEditorAvailableNamespaces = array(

NS_CATEGORY =>true

);

It can easily be done if you are using custom fields like pods etc. Just extend the current category and add visual editor as field
