So many things to do, so little time!

ENWS admin, bot operator, XTools maintainer, and sometimes just lurking around here reading random stuff I half understand.

Alien333 added a comment to T177900: When the TOC wraps due to screen size, the floating TOC should appear the same.

After:

  • removing the white-space: nowrap
  • removing the width: auto that prevented the toc from taking the full width
  • adding a max-width: max-content so that on wide screens it doesn't take useless estate (now the auto is away)
  • slightly reducing the text size for one to still be able to sort of see the top of the section

looks like this:

Alien333 added a comment to T393231: Show bottom resize bar for all content models.

Note: some users are still reporting major usability issues with editing window height, though it doesn't happen to me and I don't understand exactly what has been done. From this:

Something new has just lost my ability to resize the edit window in the Page namespace. I will have to stop editing until this is fixed, since I cannot see enough of the text at one time to be able to proofread. I had a properly sized window until a few minutes ago, when I started a new page without window resizing. This problem exists on other Wikisource projects in their Page namespace equivalent as well, not just here.

Alien333 added a comment to T393231: Show bottom resize bar for all content models.

@Samwilson The changes introduced in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/ProofreadPage/+/1229438 to modules/page/ext.proofreadpage.page.edit.js, and more specifically

		// Initialize the height of the text UI to match what the resizing bar has stored.
		mw.hook( 'ext.WikiEditor.resize' ).add( ( resizingBar ) => {
			$editForm.find( '.wikiEditor-ui-text' ).css( 'height', resizingBar.getResizedPane().height() );
		} );

are breaking proofreadpage editing layout in at least some situations. It adds a very low height constraint (in my case 448px), which makes it impossible to see the whole image:

image.png (652×1 px, 403 KB)

When codemirror is enabled, it's even worse, with the edit boxes overflowing onto the form buttons: (there's a .cm-editor { height: 100% !important } that's been lying around for two years)
image.png (719×1 px, 449 KB)

This makes it very hard to edit.

(Side note: beyond this issue the pagination in PC has issues; like no "back" buton; but that's a question for later). (Also, it appears that CI is broken again).

Alien333 added a comment to T403566: Routes with multiple consecutive slashes are possibly invalid.

After some digging, it looks like up to https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/pull/1155 (which was pushed on Sept 27, so about two months after we added anubis), anubis always redirected multiple slashes! That was fixed in v1.23, but there's a good chance we still have the old version.
@MusikAnimal : please tell me we're currently running on <v1.23 so we can finally get rid of this issue; and if so, could you please try and upgrade it?

Alien333 added a comment to T407814: Remove use of revision.rev_sha1 or replace with content.content_sha1.

Quick testing (1, 2) suggests that the time to join on slots and content etc is negligible; I'm getting about the same run times by doing that as by fetching revision.
Plus, losing revert detection for the crushing majority of edits (2020 is pretty recent) would be a shame. It'd be nice if the tag was retroactively added, but it looks like that's not planned.
(Oh my, they said "in three weeks" on Oct 3, which means we likely have only a few days to fix it.)
Also, on revert implementation: would it be unreasonable to look for more than 1 sha1 back? MW does 15.
