Bug ID: 44609
Summary: Stop adding xml:lang attributes to HTML5 pages
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Parser
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Wikipedia and Wiktionary pages now have the HTML5 doctype <!doctype html>,
and a root <html> element with only a lang tag. HTML5 doesn’t require the
xml:lang attribute. According to the spec, “The attribute in no namespace with
no prefix and with the literal local name "<code>xml:lang</code>" has no effect
on language
processing.”[http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/elements.html#the-lang-and-xml:lang-attributes]
But if you enter, e.g., <span lang="fr">fou<span> into a wiki page, the
Wikitext parser will add a redundant and vestigial xml:lang attribute.
The parser should stop adding the xml:lang attribute in pages that are HTML5
and not XML.
