* Blocked by:
* Blocking:
* Updates:
** LanguageConverter support (limited to a few vairant languages initially)
in Parsoid will be deployed today (Wed) to help Services team with RESTBase
and API design work on their end.
** Work in Progress update: The current core parser hooks extension API
exposes parsing internals that cannot be supported in Parsoid since those
internals aren’t part of Parsoid. In Parsoid, we are developing a newer API
that can support existing deployed extensions while also not exposing
implementation details.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsing/Parser_Hooks_Stats has info about
what parser hooks are currently used by which deployed extensions (data as
of Oct 2017).
** Planning to replace Tidy everywhere on July 5th. Will send an email
update once this is confirmed.
