It is impossible to preview page (or changes) in the built-in wikitext editor using IE 6 when VisualEditor is enabled. After clicking "Show preview" or "Show changes", some weird redirect happens where the POST-ed data are appended to the URL as GET data. This does not trigger a preview, and from the user's perspective all of their input is lost. Disabling VisualEditor in preferences (if you're a logged-in user) resolves the issue.

This is caused by rEVED188ec0f5d23c: Send users whose browsers support JS but are unsupported by MW to the WTE…. Looks like the addScript() added there should be inside the if()…
