Particularly, in the namespacing.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Images and parserTests list some variations, such as,
File:Example.jpg|''italic caption''
Example.jpg|on page "{{PAGENAME}}"
Image:Astronotus_ocellatus.jpg|''[[commons:Astronotus ocellatus|Astronotus ocellatus]]'' (Oscar)How common are these forms? What sort of dirty diff'ing are we looking at if we roundtrip these in a normalized form?
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open | None | T252246 Borrow functionality from the LinkHandlerUtils::figureHandler for serializing media in gallery | |||
| Declined | Arlolra | T151367 Investigate the usage of gallery image syntax before enabling HTML editing |
Invalid lines are dropped, like we do for references, as in the test, "References: 5."
Is this more common than there? Acceptable?
Currently in VE we are normalising the namespace prefix to the canonical localised value (so File:). It will only happen when the gallery is modified, so I don't think it's a big deal.
