For Wikipedia, we plan to store both HTML *and* Wikitext for quite a while. This gives us time to perfect the HTML-only mode of operation with a low risk to existing content. Eventually, Parsoid can be used as a wikitext front-end that converts from stored HTML to wikitext for editing, and then converts the modified wikitext back to HTML for storage. This mode of operation is already used in the upcoming 'Flow' discussion system. > 2. In “MediaWiki_DOM_spec” there are a lot of discussing and implemented > status.

We are currently doing some clean-up in the spec: * Transclusion parameters are always wrapped in a parts array (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/MediaWiki_DOM_spec#Transclusion_content). There is another tweak to the parameter structure coming. See [1]. * mw:WikiLink/Interwiki becomes mw:ExtLink. See [2]. * mw:ExtLink/* will become just mw:ExtLink. The information can mostly be extracted by matching a href prefix. Client-side rendering of numbered external links will be handled with CSS as discussed in bug 53505. See [2]. * mw:WikiLink/Category becomes mw:PageProp/Category as these are not really links. They don't render at all in the page, don't accept a caption etc. See [2]. * mw:WikiLink/Language becomes mw:PageProp/Language - same as with categories. See [2]. * Transclusion-affected attributes are moved to data-mw according to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/MediaWiki_DOM_spec#Transclusion-affected_attributes Once these changes are deployed (likely to happen in the next weeks), the Parsoid spec version will be incremented to version 1. After this cleanup, we expect the spec to remain stable for a while.
