...Shoot, you're right. I was describing something that's already been removed! Or at the very least put behind a wall to make it inaccessible via setting your preference a certain way.

Because when it went live, you could indeed select your preferences in such a way (unchecking anything saying "enable VE" and checking the inherited-from-standard-Mediawiki "disable VE while in beta) and you'd be served the actual, true-blue source editor.

The more you know; I really should have verified what I was saying was still the case, because you're right and it's not.

...I guess my last statement in my prior post was true, then. Sad because I'm not a fan of the VisualEditor but am very very fine with using the original source editor without a toolbar (or with a JS-added one). XP
