Hide Baby Globe when VisualEditor loads
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Current:
The article editing can be done seamlessly on the "article view" page without navigating.

Problem:
This keeps Baby Globe on the page during article editing. By default Baby Globe is not displayed on the "article edit" page, but that rule is enforced by php; and since navigation did not happen to rerender from php side - Baby Globe remains on the page.

Possible solutions:

  • Would be nice to have a hook to react to, but it's not available (yet)
  • Hopefully there is some html tag class that indicates that inline editing started
  • Otherwise MutationObserver?
