[QA] Help trying to reproduce?

Tue Sep 17 20:43:04 UTC 2013

Thanks Jeff.  This turns out to be experimental javascript added to
common.js  without us knowing by a Wikipedian experimenting with trying to
turn off the link to VisualEditor for certain users.  It doesn't actually
do what this user hopes it will.  We're going to politely ask him to not do
that.
