I'm not exactly sure when this happened, but either this or a recent update seems to have caused a bug on the gallery editing  tool in VisualEditor (and yes, I've already reported this). It is not possible to edit old galleries, or even recently added ones using VE. It might be a good chance to upgrade to the recently released Gallery inspector  (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T45037), instead of patching this bug.

Also, while it is good that wikia is improving the search,  ultimately the Wikia's medicre search backend needs to be upgraded to support newer and better MediaWiki Search extensions. Wikipedia's main portal seems to have been recently upgraded (after years of languish) and offers a great search tool     that includes thumbnails of the articles, it would be great to have that functionality here for both readers and editors.
