Is this on master? If so, it's in core ;)

@01tonythomas: Correct me if I'm wrong.

Changing this would require either increasing the height of all multiline text fields in ApiSandbox, or adding yet another ApiBase::PARAM_* constant and setting it in various places.

Most browsers these days[1] make textareas resizeable by default, which seems like an all-around better solution.

[1]: I can't quickly find figures for that specifically, but according to https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-resize 76.38% support the related CSS [[https://www.w3.org/TR/css-ui-3/#resize|resize property]]. It's possible that some don't apply resize: both to textareas by default, although various pages online say Firefox, Chrome, and Safari all do.

I'm an outreachy applicant interested in contributing to this task, please how can i go about it @01tonythomas ?

If you are interested in submitting a fix, you should probably follow https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial and produce a patch to mediawki-core I guess. A good first step would be to reproduce the same in your latest development environment.

Thank you

Hi @01tonythomas ,
I have submitted a patch a week ago. Can you check it ?

Hi @01tonythomas
Any Update ?

Hi @Reedy
Can you check the PR when ur free ?

HI @01tonythomas @Reedy
Any update on the PR ?

The LESS change doesn't seem to have made any difference, as I shouldn't be able to shrink the field to be this small

@Reedy Thanks for the update!. i have made required changes

With this patch, the right border seems to be getting cutoff (Ubuntu, Firefox, 4K display, various zoom levels like %100,%115,%125).
