Line 46: :: Of course I'm concerned - why else phrase the option that way? Or, to ask you directly: why isn't there an option to plain "Disable the visual editor" full stop, [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)\|Whatamidoing (WMF)]]? [[User:CapnZapp\|CapnZapp]] ([[User talk:CapnZapp\|talk]]) 17:37, 8 March 2021 (UTC) ::: Plus (again) a statement like "there are no plans to remove wikitext editing" could still be true if editors are asked to click the tab "Edit source" instead of "Edit" each time they want to avoid the visual editor. The real question is: is there any way to use the wikitext editor as the default to be used in all cases, with no visible way to accidentally invoke the visual editor (except going back into Preferences to re-enable it), and for this preference to be honored in perpetuity?
