I hate being proven wrong; each of those changes fixes the (entirely-broken, but masked for users by MediaWiki) wikitext; these are the kinds of errors it's not really possible for us to re-implement. Specifically, <i>Foo <sup>Bar</i> Baz</sup> is definitely broken HTML (mis-nested annotations), and I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that we fix these. Obviously it'd be much better if we had a bot do a massive run over the corpus and fix these for users now, rather than have them blame VE, but that's not going to happen. :-( Punting to Roan for thoughts, but I think this is probably a lost cause. (In reply to comment #1) > Brad also has a suggestion (along with a bug report) for a workflow to make > these easier to identify: That's going to be done in VisualEditor as part of bug 49761 (well, not that way, because VE can't objectively know what bits of the DOM it "should" have just altered unless we have a local copy of MediaWiki :-)) but yes, coming very soon, hopefully. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
