            Bug ID: 47426
           Summary: id in data-mw on templates triggers diff
           Product: Parsoid
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: JS/General
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

The id reference in the data-mw attribute on template content (see
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/MediaWiki_DOM_spec#Template_content) is
not deterministic across re-parses. This makes it very likely that this
attribute will serialize to a different string, which in turn causes the
template node to be marked as 'modified-wrapper' in DOMDiff. The WTS
serialization of the template often introduces some whitespace diffs around
named parameters. Without a diff in data-mw selser would hide this issue.

The best solution for now is probably to leave out the id member from data-mw.
There are no users for it currently, so this should not create issues.
