At the risk of sounding stupid, does this mean other wikis will need a Parsoid instance to use this extension, or is this simply being tested in a Parsoid environment and it's just using CSS instead of wikitext for rendering? If the former, not a fan of the idea at all. If the latter, awesome, sounds like a great idea.
I'm still confused on the exact details of how this will work, so I'd appreciate clarification. > From: jforres...@wikimedia.org > Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2014 18:10:46 -0800 > To: wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org > Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] [BREAKING CHANGE] Plans to move Cite configuration > from wikitext messages to CSS styles > > On 16 December 2014 at 04:45, Brad Jorsch (Anomie) <bjor...@wikimedia.org> > wrote: > > > On Tue, Dec 16, 2014 at 5:44 AM, Marc Ordinas i Llopis < > > marc...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > > > > > Due to how MediaWiki's messages system works, changes to the display > > > styles need to be copied into each of the ~300 display languages for > > users, > > > else those users with different languages will see different reference > > > styles on the same page. > > > > > > That sounds like bug T33216, which was fixed a while ago.
