Known Issues
- VisualEditor does not currently render the <scratchblocks> tag and does not support adding blocks to articles.
- VisualEditor does not work in transcluded and big pages.
- VisualEditor leaves an awkward space at the top of the page after editing on ScratchWikiSkin, which disappears if the page is reloaded.
