// Disabling VE for anonymous and new users, per community consensus.
// For anons and first edits of by an account, the CSS elements to invoke VE are hidden
// When an account has made no edits, it checks to see if VE is enabled.
// If it is, it is disabled via the API.
// An account cannot enable VE until it makes an edit of some kind: there's no way around this unless WMF
// agrees to make the change.
