Description

Steps to get confused with SET:

Edit an article for the first time. Choose the visual mode.
Leave a note on the talk page, where visual mode isn't an option.
Go back to the article. Where's the visual mode?!

If I'm happily editing in the mainspace with the visual editor, then being forced to use the wikitext mode on a talk page should not switch my mainspace editing experience to a wikitext editor.

I think want we want to do is just not override the preference if the namespace only supports one mode, rather than store a separate preference for every namespace.

TBF "Always give me the visual editor if possible" does fix this, although of course it's just a pref buried in a long page etc etc.
