Not sure if new inspector blocks this?

Mass-moving items into VisualEditor product

Mass-move out of "General" to init.

Standardise title.

Looks like a job for mw.Title in core.

It needs better validation. If static validation is not 100% waterproof we could built in a "extra sure" mode in mw.Title that makes an API request.

Fixed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/23373 similarly to the way wikiEditor checks for invalid page titles

Would be better handled in mw.Title.

This is back again.

Change 77099 had a related patch set uploaded by Esanders:
Prevent the creation of invalid MWInternalLinks

Change 77099 merged by jenkins-bot:
Prevent the creation of invalid MWInternalLinks

Fixed again. Sorry, everyone. Will be deployed to MW.org tomorrow, and we'll get it deployed more widely after testing.
