Popups doesn't show for anchored links since 1.25wmf18
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Previous title: Popups doesn't show up at all on mediawiki.org
Popups doesn't show up at all for me on phase/group0 wikis, mw.popups.selectPopupElements() is empty on e.g. mediawiki.org/wiki/Flow
For sure this was caused by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/146477
Failure at:

this.href === mw.config.get( 'wgServer' ) + mw.util.getUrl( this.title )

e.g.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Flow#Release_and_features_FAQ === //www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Flow

Rollback that change, verify on beta that it's working again and backport to current branches?


Update: A simple hotfix I have written got deployed and applied to 1.25wmf18 before it got out to group1 and all wikis to prevent rendering the complete feature unuseable.
But due the simplicity of the fix, there's now still the regression that popups doesn't show up for anchored links.

A simple hotfix I have written got deployed and applied to 1.25wmf18 before it got out to group1 and all wikis to prevent rendering the complete feature unuseable (not showing up anywhere).
But due the simplicity of the fix, there's now the regression that popups doesn't show up for anchored links. This regression will hit all wikipedias tomorrow with group2 deployment.

The follow-up patchset to find the right solution, clean up the fix and solve the anchor issue is https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/192568.
