Thank you for your help on this, @Jdforrester-WMF; I reviewed nl.wiki's requirements [1] and it seems there are two pieces of unexpected behavior and one behavior that we need more details about before we can test.
Unexpected behavior
- In preferences, option to make visual editing mode your preferred option: ⚠️There doesn't seem to be an "Edit mode" dropdown in Preferences > Editing on nl.wiki as there is on en.wiki
- Visual editing mode should be available on article pages, and in the User, Wikipedia and Help namespace: ⚠️Visual editing mode does not seem to be enabled in the Wikipedia namespace [2]
Behavior needing more details
- Visual editing mode should NOT be available on consultation pages: Pending confirmation from @Whatamidoing-WMF

- https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Opinielokaal/Inschakelen_visuele_tekstverwerker
- I'm not seeing two edit tabs enabled on this page: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Beginnetje. Note: I am logged in and the "Temporarily disable visual word processor as long as it is in beta" editing preference is disabled.
There isn't an "Edit mode" dropdown because it's not a https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Single_edit_tab wiki. We set those up for a while. It was okay-but-not-great, so the team put the project down for a bit, with the idea of getting back to it later/with the benefit of a little more distance/perspective/time to think it over. Nothing's happened since then.
The Dutch Wikipedia has the (older) system that's used at the German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Einstellungen#mw-prefsection-editing
The community vote specified enabling it in the Wikipedia: (Project:) namespace, so that should be corrected. See also T164435 and T159711, which are older requests for that change.
It should not be enabled on discussion pages (e.g., Overleg_Wikipedia: or Project_talk:). This part of the config is already correct.

Ah, understood. Thank you for clarifying, Sherry.
I've updated the task description to include, what I currently understand to be, the requirements the nl.wiki defined and whether those requirements have been met or not.
Next step
- @Whatamidoing-WMF, can you please confirm whether the requirements and their corresponding statuses listed in the task description are accurate?
