Re: [Wikitech-l] Html comments into raw wiki code: can they be wrapped into parsed html?
Exactly. Nevertheless: is HTML5 already in use? If it isn't, when it will be introduced into any wiki? HTML5 was introduced into Wikipedia (and MediaWiki by default, see $wgHtml5[1]) lately. FYI, in be.wikisource data fields are used to make a link to both Belarusian Wikipedias in a link hover![2] [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgHtml5 [2] http://be.wikisource.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.js (bottom of the code) On Mon, Dec 31, 2012 at 2:17 PM, Alex Brollo alex.bro...@gmail.com wrote: Perfect! A data- attribute can contain anything and it runbs perfectly. It can contain too a JSON-stringified object added into edit mode into a span (so that a while dictionary can be passed into a single data- attribute). It's just what I needed.

He may have misspoke on the we part. However, for wikis with bot approval processes (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bot_Approvals_Group ), there is tracking on what bots work on (due to the potentially disruptive nature of an active bot on a large wiki). A bot approval group could certainly encourage people to participate in this dashboard. For the bot writer, all it should take is a HTTP POST to the dashboard every few edits to check in (which could be a simple as 350 edits for task XYZ in the last hour, in appropriate format). Many bots work on more than one task, so knowing which task(s) they are currently working on in a big-picture view could be quite useful.

The video player still looks ugly (by the way) compared to a YouTube/Vimeo or even a standard Kaltura player...
