Given what I've seen so far, it might be best to aim for a gradual
reimplementation of Parsoid features to make most of them work without a need
for Parsoid, with the eventual goal of severing the need for Parsoid completely
if possible. At any rate, the less the parser has to outsource, the
If I might weigh in, I concur with MZMcBride. If Parsoid is absolutely needed
regardless, that's one thing, but if a VE editing interface can be set up that
doesn't need Parsoid, that would reduce dependence on third party software,

I agree. Purging should either be integrated into the MW core or the extension
needs to be made so anyone can use it whenever needed without needing JS.

In terms of applying the rule to things like articles written by someone for

As for code, I agree, that policy is counterproductive.

This seems to be a MW bug. Ever since we updated our wiki to MW 1.23, this has
been happening to lots of our users, myself included.
Apparently, the option to add pages edited to the watchlist is checked by
default, which probably needs to be disabled by default.

Thanks for the reminder.
However, I think that not all those settings are not necessarily good, and
here's why:

As someone who likes LQT (autosigning and visible threading are excellent
features) and wishes Flow was basically that, but better, I personally would
hope Flow would attempt to incorporate as many advantages of LQT and provide a
way to convert LQT threads to Flow format as smoothly as possible
Going to have concur on this. Flow and VE would be great for attracting new
users, but leaving the foundation of the community in the dust in favor of
innovation strikes me as a bad idea.
I support the idea of having the ability for the old methods of editing and
talk pages to work when and
I'm not disabled myself, but I do see the benefits in such a venture, and
assuming there is text-to-speech program with a MediaWiki friendly API (or at
least can hook into MediaWiki fairly well) that could be used as a backend, I
would think this would not only be possible, but a great idea.
The picture at the top and most of the other icons need shrunk a little, and
the page needs to fit more items together (it looks rather spaced out), but I
do like the icon choices.
It would also benefit from some more frames to separate the page sections IMO.
Otherwise, looks great. :)

I support this. Adequate testing of 5.4 before abandonment of 5.3 would be a
sensible prelude to any major decision concerning this matter.

If I might weigh in here, I don't see the harm in including all the WMF wikis
onto the interwiki map.
MediaWiki is intensely related to the WMF, so those links make logical sense
and it does no harm to include them in my opinion.

Is there a bug filed for this. If not please do so. MediaWiki should be
compatible with newer PHP versions.

We need more details. Which version of MediaWiki do you use ?
I never encountered any problems with the latest PHP versions
5.5.0
I agree. While spammers are so pathetic they will do anything for page views, I
have to admire (and detest) their ability to adapt in order to spread their
nonsense.
Anything that slows them down, even in the slightest degree, is something I
support and recommend.

Seems like a reasonable approach to me. The old release notes were a little
hard to follow, but your suggestion should make them more straightforward from
now on.
