Request to remove 'obsolete-tag' from $wgSignatureAllowedLintErrors on English Wikipedia
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In this December 2023 RFC, the English Wikipedia chose to disallow obsolete tags in newly saved signatures.

In task T140606, matmarex wrote "I updated the patch to include a config variable $wgSignatureAllowedLintErrors. It defaults to [ 'obsolete-tag' ] (which allows <font> tags etc.), and you can file a task to change this config to an empty array [] whenever the community of English Wikipedia (or any other wiki) agrees to that."

This task is requesting implementation of the RFC's consensus via removal of 'obsolete-tag' from $wgSignatureAllowedLintErrors on the English Wikipedia.

It looks like this patch is waiting for someone to "schedule the change for one of the available backport windows". I read the relevant wikitech page, but it is way beyond my skills.

It looks like we need someone with a Wikitech account to edit the Backports Deployments page on Wikitech.

Hi. I was unexpectedly out of town during the past week (for Real Life stuff); I plan on getting to this tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!
