Re: [Wikitech-l] [BREAKING CHANGE] IE 8 will go JavaScript-less starting January 2016

Is there any way to use addModuleStyles() so that it outputs browser-conditional stylesheets? Such that such a one could apply only to IE8-? That's really what I need here. On 15/11/15 00:17, Krinkle wrote: Just wanna make a small correction here to avoid confusion. The top and bottom queue

Re: [Wikitech-l] [BREAKING CHANGE] IE 8 will go JavaScript-less starting January 2016

I agree that it's important to move away from desktop-first, but switching to mobile-first isn't the answer either. For complex products (discussion boards, skins, anything that could benefit from a lot of space), there are going mobile-specific styles same as any other resolution - do ANY as

Agreed. If I had a binary choice between investing in Echo and investing in Flow, I would be inclined to choose Echo. Pine On Nov 14, 2015 7:08 AM, "Derk-Jan Hartman" wrote: > Thank goodness. Finally we might be able to start fully building out the > promise of

Re: [Wikitech-l] Update about on-going work on Notifications, especially cross-wiki notifications

Hi MZMcBride, The hypothetical here is that I have a binary choice between Echo and Flow. In practice it's possible to develop them in parallel. With the hypothetical in mind, I'll outline why I would prioritize Echo. My thinking is that Echo is used widely on many, many wikis and is helpful to

Re: [Wikitech-l] Update about on-going work on Notifications, especially cross-wiki notifications

Thank goodness. Finally we might be able to start fully building out the promise of powerful, targeted and appropriate messaging that Echo always was the the kick off for. I especially like the acknowledgment of the 'volume knob'. Balancing the 'noise' of messaging is going to be really

[Wikitech-l] Which hook to use and how for pre-save-modifications of wikitext?

Hi, I want to implement something similar to expansion or the pipe-trick in internal links in an extension. That is, I need to execute code - on save and preview only, - on wikitext ony, - on page content only, - before the pre-save-parser treats links in the wikitext, - altering the

Re: [Wikitech-l] [BREAKING CHANGE] IE 8 will go JavaScript-less starting January 2016

I should also add that the reason I say this is that IE8 is not the only browser that doesn't support media queries. There are many browsers that were written before IE8 and installed on phones with no upgrade path. This is just one of the biggest ones. On 15 Nov 2015 7:08 a.m.,

Re: [Wikitech-l] [BREAKING CHANGE] IE 8 will go JavaScript-less starting January 2016

The solution to this is to do true mobile first development e.g. wrap your desktop and tablet styles in media queries. Rendering a mobile site in IE8 is an acceptable trade off and ensures the content remains readable which is the most important thing here. We (Wikimedia devs) still build desktop

Re: [Wikitech-l] [BREAKING CHANGE] IE 8 will go JavaScript-less starting January 2016

Just wanna make a small correction here to avoid confusion. The top and bottom queue are both JavaScript-enabled, using 'position' => 'top' only controls where the load() command is placed (at the top or bottom, naturally). Neither of these will run in IE 8 after January. What Florian is

Re: [Wikitech-l] Which hook to use and how for pre-save-modifications of wikitext?

Look how subst: works in the braceSubstitution function in Parser.php. Basically, do this: if ( $parser->ot['wiki'] ) { /* do your stuff */ }. On Sat, Nov 14, 2015 at 5:36 PM, Purodha Blissenbach < puro...@blissenbach.org> wrote: > Hi, > > I want to implement something similar to expansion
