Description

Right now, Flow doesn't use ve.init.mw.Target because its multi-surface support isn't as good as sa.Target's, and mw.Target contains a lot of code Flow doesn't need (because mw.Target assumes you're only editing one page, rather than a multitude of non-page things). However, there are a number of things in mw.Target that Flow could and should benefit from (e.g. getHtml for T97165: Flow doesn't strip browser plugin garbage or fixBase and related functionality for T96492: Previewing a link to a File in Flow's VE-mode, opens a broken destination due to /w/ ). So we should split MW-specific code (in ve.init.mw.Target) from "MW page editing-specific code" (in ve.init.mw.PageTarget or something?)
