Izno added a comment to T380691: Page creation should have drop-down to specify content model.

Or perhaps a [[Special:NewPage]] with a dropdown would also be fine? This would also help us get out of having to tell new users "make a red link and then click the red link" type of discussion that often occurs.

Izno added a comment to T380691: Page creation should have drop-down to specify content model.

Izno added a comment to T380683: More accessible section links in logged edit summaries.

It's a bit of outdated thinking here (not necessarily your fault): CSS content is now announced in many cases by accessibility agents (and not in others). Moving it into CSS isn't necessarily going to fix away whatever we think the arrow is doing here and whether it's actually necessary.

Izno added a comment to T171717: Allow seeing the diff of all changes since last visit directly from Special:Watchlist.

The descriptions clearly discuss the same problem: I would like to know what the diff is since the last time I viewed a page. Whether that ends up being fixed with method A or B is not the point of a task, which should discuss the problem first/foremost and not necessarily specific solutions to the problem. That's why they should be merged even if I agreed that the two descriptions differ sufficiently not to be the same description of functionality intended. Which I don't. The distinction you see in your reading is not one I see in mine.

I'm going to decline this boldly. It opens a new path for non-obvious vandalism to be added to pages for at-best marginal benefits. The stated reason for reopening in 2008 was to adjust the appearance of text at an anchored target, but that has its own task for "redirects to sections don't always make a ton of sense".

Izno closed T86578: FlaggedRevs should not use obsolete HTML attributes (use CSS instead) as Resolved.

I'll close. Eyeballing the extension seems to indicate there is some HTML modernization to be done given the wide use of tables as well. One of which is for the diff view (which in core uses divs and CSS grid these days), and at least one other table use looks like it's presentational. A separate task identifying those issues seems more apropos.

Actually, not sure you need the "|-" before the caption -- so it can simply be deleted.

And in fact you shouldn't have it, as I stated above - leading at minimum either to Parsoid-should-fix-this for wt->html (I'm a bit agnostic going the other way) or Parsoid-should-lint-this. Again, this feels like something that may be common out and about, so one of those may be preferable.

Izno added a comment to T378629: Table borders are invisible on some tables with Parsoid.

The table has an extra empty <tbody> placed before the <caption>. Deleting that node in console causes the borders to reappear. You can also delete the tbody with the content in it to get the borders inside the thead to reappear. I think the thead is inserted by the table sorter Javascript (don't think that's particularly relevant to the bug but don't want to cause confusion with 'where does the parser insert a thead? - it steals the rows of column header ths from the tbody the parser does insert).

Izno added a comment to T353695: Remove meaningless "Cite error: …" prefix in favor of independent error messages.

On the other hand, the fact that you can suppress all errors in a certain namespace by hacking "just" the cite-error message, instead of separately adjusting the dozen-ish cite-error-* messages, seems to be a feature.

I don't think it's a big deal if English Wikipedia has a few more messages/categories to customize such that it needs full on Community Configuration first. And as one might be able to see in that global search above, there's only about a half dozen wikis similar to en.wp on the point. I'd suggest just fixing what needs fixing.

Izno edited projects for T87783: Wrap tables to available page width for "Printable version", added: MediaWiki-Core-Skin-Architecture; removed MediaWiki-Parser.

Izno added a comment to T87783: Wrap tables to available page width for "Printable version".

I think the issue here is not that the table has many columns but that there is content up the way that is floating in this view and the table is narrow enough to be situated next to it instead of below it.

Another one that needs fixing: T377533: Recent changes doesn't have space after target title and before the reason part

Izno added a comment to T377658: ambox poorly displayed on beta wiki.

I suspect the fix for this is to import updated templates from the non beta projects

Also observable in Firefox on Windows. Removing the

@media screen and (min-width: 640px) {
  .client-js body.skin-minerva .mw-parser-output .ambox .ambox-learn-more {
    left: 32px;
    right: 0;
    background: none;
  }
}

block would fix it and align it where it is on mobile. On the other hand, this isn't something that is reproducible on English Wikipedia, so I wonder what Simple is doing particularly differently.

Izno added a comment to T77877: Browsing images to the end of a collection should loop back to the start.

There is feedback on VPT that looping with only one image is a confusing user interaction. Buttons probably shouldn't be usable in that case.

Izno added a comment to T377043: Investigation: survey affordances of the {{reflist}} template on wikis where it's preferred over the <references> tag.

I'm not sure I get what you're thinking about here for class though, even after coming to know what a ChipInput is.

My idea here is that VE might show a "class" field when you click to edit a reference list, and that field can be used to add or remove additional styles defined by Cite, or defined by the wiki. Something like this:

image.png (67×412 px, 5 KB)

The field could include some auto-completion when VE can figure out which CSS classes are applicable, but free-form names are also allowed and these might rely on class rules defined in Common.css or in TemplateStyles.

Izno added a comment to T109277: [EPIC]: Use core watchlist code for mobile experience.

SpecialMobileEditWatchlist.php still appears to exist, with several other hangers on in codesearch. I think this is currently inaccessible except by any prior links that might be lying around?
