For BLP's and disambiguation pages on the English Wikipedia, an extra edit notice is provided through the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:EDITINTRO system using Extension:InputBox and some code in MediaWiki:Common.js. VisualEditor does not work with Extension:InputBox, so the edit notice is not displayed. I believe that this system of notifications is in use only at the English Wikipedia.

To work as desired VE would need to respect the editintro= url parameter. For example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bahn?veaction=edit&editintro=Template:BLP_editintro and use that to fill in the edit notice with Template:BLP_editintro. A couple of lines in MediaWiki:Common.js would add the parameters to URL's for all BLPs.
