--- Comment #19 from TMg <[email protected]> 2012-09-24 16:24:22 UTC --- (In reply to comment #18) > two users on different browsers may see two different things What are you talking about? This is not true. In the previous Wikipedia setup with HTML5 disabled all users got the same HTML output and it looked the same in all web browsers. Now this is broken. It does *not* look the same when a template is tested locally for example. The hack creates a *different* result when the finished code is finally put into a template. The hack *changes* the *meaning* of the code no matter if these attributes were used for a reason or not. This is confusing as hell. It makes creating templates a mess (not that it isn't a mess anyway). None of your examples ever changed the *meaning* of some code, not even the ID example. > You just contradicted yourself. You just said that you were ok with align > being removed from the whitelist. Yet that breaks things. I will try to speak very slow: Either remove all align attributes (drop it from the whitelist) or let them pass through (keep it whitelisted). In other words, either break *everything* or *nothing*. The current hack breaks some *random* stuff. This is not only confusing, it's completely unnecessary because every web browser is able to handle the align attributes well. You are replicating something that clearly is the responsibility of the web browser. > While fixing an issue that doesn't look broken when you look at > it is really hard. Again, this must be a joke. That's exactly the problem of the current hack. It makes broken code *not* look broken. It does not fix anything. It does not help people to fix their outdated template code. It does the *opposite*. It's a stupid counterproductive hack. All it does is adding confusion and breaking some random templates for no good reason. > It's still a valid point that translations still work in most situations Again, *not* translating this worked in *all* situations till last week. You can't say all the templates we developed in the past years are broken. They are *not*. They were tested in all browsers. Nothing was broken till you started to change our code. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
