https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549 --- Comment #14 from This, that and the other at.li...@live.com.au --- You're right that a more consistent approach is needed. I would welcome a bug sprint in the Parser category. There are 440 open parser bugs, and while many of them are totally legitimate bugs needing to be fixed, there are a good few handfuls of bug reports that lack a clear course of action, like this one. A bug sprint would get the same pair of eyes on each of the issues, to judge them equally and knowledgeably. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549 --- Comment #10 from Mark Clements (HappyDog) wikime...@kennel17.co.uk --- (In reply to comment #9) Someone's got to close this bug... I think after 10 years it's safe to say this is now considered a feature. Changing this now would break a lot of existing wiki syntax out there, on WMF and on external installations. Is there any evidence for that? I would expect that, as a minimum, a grep of the English WP should be made to see to what extent the incorrect construction is actually being used, rather than basing this on a, possibly incorrect, assumption. Also, has this been closed by group consensus, or is it on your own initiative? I would say that this is one place where 'be bold' should not apply. I vote to reopen, until we have some actual data on which to base the decision. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549 --- Comment #11 from This, that and the other at.li...@live.com.au --- No, just my initiative. I didn't really expect anyone to care about this bug any more. If you would like to reopen, go ahead. Realistically though, the chance of this getting fixed is negligible. Whether you grep enwiki or not, any change to core wikitext (particularly something as basic and widespread as table headers) is going to break stuff for some people somewhere on some wiki. People are going to use the markup that generates the look they want, so we must assume all uses of this ! || || syntax are intended to produce the erroneous look. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549 --- Comment #12 from Mark A. Hershberger m...@everybody.org --- I would agree with WONTFIXING this. I have some experience with changing behavior to fix an old bug. The result wasn't pretty. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549 Mark Clements (HappyDog) wikime...@kennel17.co.uk changed: What|Removed |Added Status|RESOLVED|REOPENED Resolution|WONTFIX |--- --- Comment #13 from Mark Clements (HappyDog) wikime...@kennel17.co.uk --- I haven't been following the discussions relating to Parsoid for quite a while, but I know that there was general acknowledgement early-on that there are a fairly large number of edge-case situations like this where the current parser does not behave as you might expect, and that in an ideal world these would all be fixed by the new parser. It was also acknowledged that this would, potentially, break a lot of stuff, and so fixing them might not actually be sensible. I'm sure that a general approach has been adopted by now, so from my point of view this should follow whatever approach has been adopted for other similar issues. * If they are all WONTFIXed without any further research, due to potential breakage, then this should also be a WONTFIX. * If they are all being kept open, with a plan to resolving them in the new parser, then this should be re-opened. * If there is some kind of flag (global or per-feature) to enable old broken behaviour, then this should be re-opened and fixed, with an appropriate flag used to restore the existing broken behaviour. * If - as I suspect - they were handled on a case-by-case basis, based on some metric (e.g. prevalence in some corpus) then that same metric should be applied here. I guess my point is that this shouldn't be handled in isolation by one person (or a couple of people) expressing an opinion. It should be handled formally via the parser team in a manner consistent with other similar issues. On that principal, I am re-opening. Am happy for it to be re-closed by an appropriately informed person, so long as it is handled consistently with other issues and appropriate justification is given. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
