Description Kelson [Emmanuel Engelhart] 2013-06-08 11:09:47 UTC

To edit an article using the VE, the URL is "...?veaction=edit".

But, by loading the page with the VE, the URL is changed and becomes the same than the one to display the article.

There is consequently an inconsistency between the URL and the page content.

"?veaction=edit" and all other URL parameters should not be changed/removed.

This is being done as part of bug 43844.

Instead of letting it stay, we're going to enforce it even when not there.

veaction=edit was originally (and still is) only used to start VisualEditor by url.

When starting it from within MediaWiki by clicking "Edit" when reading an article, it never used veaction=edit.

Bug 43844 asks for consistent url reflection of state in both directions.
