2017 wikitext editor does not update the address bar URL after edit save
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Reported on English Wikipedia's technical village pump. After save, URL retains ?action=edit, and it shouldn't happen. Apparently sometimes returns article name "undefined" in Edge.

Event Timeline

This happens in WTE 2017. I haven't looked to see if the same happens in VE.

I can reproduce this – it only happens when you're using one of the single-edit-tab modes.

The 2017WTE is "VE"; it is a mode within Extension:VisualEditor. However, I can only reproduce this with a single edit tab that points to VisualEditor's wikitext mode. I can't reproduce this with an edit in VisualEditor's visual mode.

Change 441914 had a related patch set uploaded (by DLynch; owner: DLynch):
[mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor@master] mw.DesktopArticleTarget: remove action=edit when tearing down as single-tab

DLynch moved this task from Incoming to Code review on the VisualEditor (Current work) board.

Didn't strictly need to save -- any teardown would cause it. It relied on the single-edit-tab behavior of switching from veaction to action in URLs.
