@Bhsd @MusikAnimal This looks really good! However, I noticed that when a folded template was delete from the end or the beginning, the folded part was still there -- I think it should be automatically unfolded (like in VSCode) because it's no longer part of a template.

Diskdance added a comment to T357497: Provide a way for on-wiki scripts and gadgets to detect whether they are running in the WebView of the Wikipedia mobile app.

@Diskdance Great question, and as it happens, I think this is trivially simple:

if (pcsClient) {
  // running in WebView.
  ...
}

The pcsClient object is a global variable that is exposed as a "bridge" between the WebView and the native app for exchanging messages. Therefore, if this object exists, it means you're running inside a WebView in the app. (More formally, you can check for typeof pcsClient !== 'undefined')

This is technically true for both the Android and iOS WebViews. However, the iOS app does not make its WebView aware of your login state (it does not share cookies with the WebView), so when the iOS app loads a regular HTML version of a page, it will not load any user javascript.
So to summarize, for Android it's trivial, and for iOS it's moot.

Diskdance added a comment to T282929: Adding back a Chinese language "without" variant option.

Hi @shinjiman thank you so much for writing up this ticket! I was hoping that you might be able to help the team better understand your request.

In particular by "no conversion" are any of the following options what you had in mind:

A. No conversion means that each article is potentially displayed in mixed character sets based on the variant the text was originally written in (eg. if the 'Introduction' was written in Simplified Chinese it is shown in Simplified Chinese AND if the 'Early life' section was written by an editor in Hong Kong Traditional, you would see this reflected in the article).

B. No conversion means that articles are displayed in written vernacular Chinese (Baihua)

C. No conversion means that articles appear by default in a specific Chinese variant (eg. Simplified Chinese)

D. None of the above


And for your note about sr + gan, both of these languages are still available in the app, were you referring to the 'no conversion' option?

Thank you so much for your help and feedback.

Diskdance added a comment to T335886: Deploy Vector 2022 as the default desktop skin to next set of wikis.

Okay, let's keep the discussion on topic. Which gadgets are the blockers? Who should be responsible, and how to fix them?

Diskdance added a comment to T336882: Set up a registration portal page to automate the IPBE application process for Chinese users.

Some thoughts:

  1. It's not promising to rely on censorable but not yet censored platform (like Toolforge). We should use censorship-resistant platforms, typically to rely on large entities which government cannot easily block. (See also T327286)
  2. We should find a balance between security/privacy/anonymity and convenience. Use as less custom software as possible. The more complex the procedure is, the less a user will be willing to join. Anything involves money transfer should be avoided.
  3. Such portal may collect sensitive personal information. Does WMF privacy policy apply here? Which platform will it run on? I think this needs wider discussion.

However I do think the deployment date shall take the local consensus into consideration. If this is Foundation's official plan, I sincerely invite your team to notify our community at zhwiki Village Pump, as the new skin is really incompatible for many gadgets/tools. Thank you.

Is this request for a specific site like zhwikipedia or all zh language wikis?

A bunch of gadget compatibility issues should be resolved before the deployment.

Diskdance added a comment to T336019: jquery.tipsy will be removed from MediaWiki core..

jquery.tipsy is used by a default gadget on Chinese Wikipedia providing cross-language link support, which has wide usage in the wiki.

I can completely understand your team's eagerness to put Vector 2022 into wider usage, but I also hope that community consensus is respected in such case.

Diskdance updated subscribers of T335930: Make wikitext in SyntaxHighlight follow content direction (ltr/rtl) by default.

It looks like we can just mark lexers in "non-HTML markup languages" category (https://pygments.org/docs/lexers/#lexers-for-non-html-markup-languages) to generate RTL content by default in a RTL wiki. @bd808 Is it technically feasible?
