Izno added a comment to T332653: Client side SVG rendering that is compatible with prefers-color-scheme ("dark mode").

@Izno, with regard to removing Community-Wishlist-Survey-2023, I'd think this would be closely related to Native SVG support and Dark mode, both of which scored highly in the survey.

Izno added a comment to T301212: Vector-2022.js should no longer load legacy Vector site and user scripts/styles.

My opinion on whether to do user scripting separately is that we can bite the bullet now or we can bite it later. It will be a much bigger bullet later. The longer you allow the assumption to bake in, the worse it gets, and TBH it's one reason Vector should never have been loaded with Vector 2022. During 'beta', migrating could have been done essentially without any user cost, as with the previous transitions. "Nothing is loaded from your old pages, copy-paste CSS changes to the new CSS page and preferably move any JS customizations to your common.js, but copying to Vector-2022.js will suffice." (My opinion is that JS shouldn't be a skin-specific quality in most cases.) That cat is out of the bag now and waiting isn't going to help.

Izno closed T331476: False 'no target' error when sfn links to wrapped CS1 template even when format is valid and links work as Invalid.

As framed, this issue cannot be resolved by work done in the core software indeed, and the correct place to discuss improvements is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_talk:Footnotes . (Which may necessitate some core software change, but I doubt it. Ttm is pretty savvy about what can be fixed in the core software.)

Izno added a comment to T232771: In cite journal, do not add URL expanded from existing identifier like DOI.

Not all citation templates have a DOI field, and only have a URL field. As long as we have this information, we should provide it, because some consumers will prefer to use the URL. If en wiki prefers to remove these with bots that's a preferred option imo. We can't delete fields that are being used on other wikis in the back-end just because of policy in en wiki.

Also, spec says that URL is a required field that will always returned, along with title and access-date, and although that could be changed I don't see a reason for it.

(We could consider changing *which* URL goes in in the URL field, but not providing it all is what has been declined.)

Izno added a comment to T259240: [Design] Discussion: differentiation/separation of interface elements/regions in Vector 2022.

I would like to suggest the header should also scroll/float with you. Not as an editor, but as a reader, when I finish an article, one of three things are going to happen: I close the tab entirely, I click to a wikilink (of which I may have already opened several in new tabs), or I use Search to go somewhere new. As the header is not sticky like the TOC, that means I have to scroll ALL THE WAY back up in order to perform a search.

We could add .mw-parser-output to some UI elements on the software side - blockedtext is pretty clearly intended to include templates. The question is, would it be more or less confusing than the status quo, where it's at least easy to know when to expect your template to be automatically wrapped in that class?

Izno added a comment to T328610: Default gadgets to run on mobile.

You'd have to double the number of gadgets (which is a performance concern due to startup module size), ship a bunch of pointless code to all readers, it would block the loading of the actual gadget until the loader gadgets executes on DOM ready, it wouldn't work for style-only gadgets etc.

Reasonable concerns. OTOH, right now the "bad" edge case is NavPops. I bet we can enumerate the problematic gadgets on one hand for gadgets that actually need something of this sort. Separately, the bad cases probably need these fixes regardless. As a particular example of an edge case, I believe NavPops doesn't check today for the general user ability to hover and should, so that's a check that needs to be added regardless of whether it's loading on mobile or desktop, because neither of those two targets do that today. And then this problem is solved for that gadget, since it shouldn't be judging mobile use based solely on the domain or skin it's on. As I suggested above, that's a check that probably could/should be added to mw.util or other library. I don't think it could be done in the definition, especially since I could go from tablet-without-mouse to tablet-with-mouse pretty easily (as a particular example).

This brings us back to a question raised above: is the goal here to de-emphasize the table of contents? We don’t think that’s the main goal, and we also think that doing so could have negative consequences. We think the main goal is separating elements on the page from each other, so that it’s clear, for example, where the table of contents area ends and where the article area begins.

I agree.

Call it technically however you want, it’s breakage in that it breaks workflows.

Yes, the skin potentially doesn't support gadget X that user Y expects to work. I would rather, as I have now said multiple times, affirmatively add a statement that says "this gadget works in this skin", along with the assessment that would likely be done for all gadgets at the same time, and tell the users "yes, gadgets aren't assumed to work in a new skin", than have the converse discussion "the gadget doesn't work for this skin", "yes, that's because the gadget is broken".

Izno added a comment to T328610: Default gadgets to run on mobile.

How is not loading on mobile worse for caching than not loading for users who didn’t enable the gadget? I understand splitting caches on desktop vs mobile is bad if the ResourceLoader module would otherwise be loaded for everyone, but gadgets are loaded for a fraction of users anyway. (For example, NavPopups on enwiki is loaded by some 60 thousand users out of the 45 million registered users – while if we took only active users into account, the percentage would probably be higher, it’s still just a small part of the registered users, with zero anonymous users having the gadget enabled.)

There are default gadgets on multiple wikis that in fact load for everyone.

Even with break-word, if you put a long url in there, its still going to overflow in some places. Really we should be looking at creating a completely different view..

Because.. why is this a table ?

  • Does it absolutely have to be ?
  • The history page of an article isn't...
  • There aren't even row headers
  • What will break if we just turn it into a nice list ?

The answer is: No one looked at any of this since 2004.

Izno added a comment to T43869: ".mw-hiero-table td { vertical-align: middle; }" is overridden when embedded in other tables..

To fix it, many wikis use the below workaround in their MediaWiki:Common.css table.mw-hiero-table td { vertical-align: middle;}

To be honest, I believe this was the correct fix here, since infoboxes are maintained on-wiki.
The only reason I merged the patch here is the age of this task, the fact that very few articles use hieroglyphics, the fix is small and the fact we don't have a concept of global templates to widely distribute such a fix.

Izno added a comment to T328196: Page tools: Certain pages with large elements and limited width disabled break the grid.

It's not just pre. An image with the appropriate wide image template as explicitly recommended doesn't fix the issue. I left this on another task discussing an issue in V22 but since you think it's one cause, it's not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution?useskin=vector-2022 with limited width turned off exhibits the same issue.

Izno added a comment to T66577: Large tables created by editors are not responsive.

The only generic skin-level solution that can be applied here is to wrap a large table in a div container with horizontal overflow as suggested on the recommendations page.

Yes, intentional for separating rows. Most questions using SecurePoll probably have more than one response e.g. ArbCom elections.

The display of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution?useskin=vector-2022 with the toggle set to "wide" but with any reasonably sized monitor resolution probably needs to be of interest here.

Izno added a comment to T289212: Feature request: Make login button appear besides the create account text outside new compact user menu.

I'll also note that the potential impact of ppl not being able to find the login link is on a pretty long tail, as sessions last quite a while. So analytics data on this is gonna be pretty hard to build i think.

Izno added a comment to T259240: [Design] Discussion: differentiation/separation of interface elements/regions in Vector 2022.

I've actually been coming to like the idea behind Zebra 9. It tends more toward how Timeless does its sidebar and main column support in that like Zebra 9, we're shooting for bounding the reading area, not "almost" bounding the reading area as in Blue whale. Even if the right toolbar becomes sticky, it may still not be full height relative to the main content.

This is still missing the span. If there is a reason not to add the span, that's fine, but that was not documented in this task and should be if it's deliberate.

❓ AC1: There should not be a lot of whitespace at the top of an article before you get to 'From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia'
@Jdlrobson, Using the URL in the description https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristina_Pi%C3%B1a?safemode=1 the 'From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia' does not appear on the page.

Without the safemode param this appears correctly.
