I've been going through offering replacement signatures to those with the tags that have been removed and started cleaning up interface messages, templates, and help/project pages on enwp, but there are nearly 100K pages overall with these codes that render parts of pages invisible. I'll keep plugging away at it, but any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24529 --- Comment #5 from S. McCandlish 2011-08-16 08:01:59 UTC --- These concerns are not mutually exclusive, and really are part and parcel of the same thing. The reasons to stop supporting obsolete -style stuff in wikitext are numerous. The most obvious is that wikimarkup is not HTML. We allow some basic [X]HTML for experienced, geeky users, but there's not guaranteeing we'd do that forever and ever, and supporting BAD markup of this sort is just pointless. Second, it encourages sloppy coding everywhere. Wikipedia is the most, or one of the top three most, popular (depending on stats source; I tend to think that Facebook and GMail have it beat) websites in the world, so what we do actually has influence. We are lending extra "life after death" to dead code. Third, code from WikiMedia projects like WP and Wiktionary can be re-used anywhere by anyone, and we have no control over how that is done. Just pasting stuff is surely pretty common, so bad code from WP is getting out "into the wild". Not a huge concern, but we should at least only support valid markup if we're going to allow HTML at all. Fourth editor convenience is better served by templates. Fourth, no one really expect users to have to enter stuff like ..., when something like {{strike|...}} would do this for them. And a.k.a. is a bad example anwyay; it's pure presentation with no semantic meaning, thus its obsolescence. The ... markup, is still valid (I'll eventually ensure that {{del|...}} works at en.wp, too). Fifth, we shouldn't force users to learn INCORRECT HTML and CSS for their regular editing, which is presently precisely the case. Implemented the correct stuff, removed the bad, and give non-HTMLish users templates. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24529 The Evil IP address changed: What|Removed |Added CC||theevilipaddr...@hotmail.de --- Comment #4 from The Evil IP address 2010-08-24 15:49:23 UTC --- Why bother people with removing them from the wiki text? They're often much easier to write for the casual editor. Just compare #A striken out vote. to #A striken out vote. Or is a very easy way to center a text, is helpful to underline text and the like. We shouldn't force users to learn HTML and CSS for their regular editing. They should remain supportable in the wiki text and the software should convert them to proper HTML 5. The real concern here should be to move the deprecated HTML elements and attributes outta the software generated text. I've recently requested to replace some attributes in some messages at Translatewiki, and Siebrand then did it, but I'm pretty sure there's more such stuff. I can look for the MediaWiki messages with old CSS, if you want to. There may be some in core, and probably much more in the extensions. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

If people step up who are willing and able to fix all the breakage, I don't mind disabling support in the software.

That's much harder, yeah. Of course, it wouldn't be a big deal if people would just not use presentational tables, but good luck with that one . . . -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24529 --- Comment #2 from S. McCandlish 2010-07-25 20:04:21 UTC --- The tt element and other simple cases can be fixed in the wikicode with AWB and other scripting tools and bots, after being fixed in engine to not actually reach the user agent as a tt element, but a span with monospaced font. On installations other than Wikipedia, they'll need to write their own (or adapt WP's) tools, or fix it manually. I'm not sure that allowing the tt element in the wikicode is a huge deal. We also allow br elements without a closing / in them, we allow the p element without a closing /p tag, etc., and it all gets fixed on the fly before it hits the browser. I think that tt should be removed from the editor-facing documentation, so that new instances of it are not added to the wikicode, willynilly, forever. The help pages on editing should direct users to a {{monospace}} template or something (which would use the span and font-family). For HTML5-verboten attributes... Yeah, that'll be big fun. I don't have any particular ideas with regard to table stuff especially. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24529 --- Comment #1 from Aryeh Gregor 2010-07-25 17:36:28 UTC --- I have no objection in principle to migrating away from using these somehow, so I agree that this bug should not be closed. However, there has to be some migration plan that does not force Wikipedia users to do unnecessarily large amounts of work, and someone has to code it up. These are obstacles that I suspect are prohibitive for the foreseeable future. It's conceivable that we could do some auto-translation of to and so forth, but that still leaves the invalid markup in the page source, so it's less than ideal. Note that it's not just elements here, but attributes too. For example, cellspacing="" and cellpadding="" are obsolete and invalid in HTML5 as well. The full list is here: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/obsolete.html#non-conforming-features We don't allow most of those anyway, but there are an awful lot we do currently permit. Some of them (particularly table attributes) cannot be easily, reliably, and automatically converted to use CSS. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
