What do you think of a new setting to disable all these invalid tags and attributes. Defaulting it on and having WMF and existing wikis turn it off. So that on new wikis it won't even be supported from the start? > (2) Add a tracking category for pages using invalid HTML5; this should be > straightforward enough; allow wiki authors to slowly fix these pages to use > better code by auto-categorizing pages that use invalid HTML5. > > This bug can then rot, as far as I'm concerned. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
