this is not wikidata specific, and already hit the "early upgrade" wikipedias such as cawiki and hewiki. for details and links, see T338405

this is an old, practically abandoned story.

IMO, the exploit should not be exposed, to avoid causing more pain to sites running vulnerable versions.

just to clarify: the issue is that this was allowed until last version, which means there are already "live" templates which violate the assertion.
this caused significant disruption: specifically, one of these templates was the hewiki equivalent of "Cite journal" - as a result, editors could not create automatic citations of articles using DOI, and could not even create manual such citations using VE (and thanks to mediawiki devs, many editors don't even know how to use source editor - kudos!).
we went and amended those templates on hewiki (can't be sure we found them all - see below :) ), but it's more than likely similar issue still exists on other projects.

we should distinguish between visualeditor and templatedata.
templatedata provides a syntax to describe the template behavior, and is used not just by visualeditor, but other tools too.

just realized that this error does not add the template to any tracking category. make it 2 demerits.

beg to differ.
when ply is not defined, the final state of the game may or may not be useful to readers not using the interactivity, but the opening board is guaranteed to have zero value.
if you are 100% against showing the last ply, it would be better to declare ply= "mandatory" parameter, and show error when not defined, rather than defaulting to absolutely useless real estate on the page.

no need, thanks.
your explanation clarified it, and the comment is junk.

@4nn1l2 - please see update to story and consensus, and my comment on gerrit.

speaking of the algebraic notation, i would like to suggest some css tweaks to make it clearer that the plys are clickable.
cursor:pointer comes to mind.
another css change i request: please replace the bike and ped icons for fast/slow with dear/snail, as in the prototype. turtle would be even better.

description should be expanded to cover ply and swap.
i think you should obtain a simpler PGN with NAGs and test it with it.
the game on my user page was copied from one of the test cases in the extension's repo, but i do not know that it's valid.

@Wugapodes : can you see why 3rd game in https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/User:%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%A4%D7%95%D7%93%D7%A0%D7%97%D7%A91/ChessBrowser_test_cases still fails to parse?
i copied it from one of the test cases in the repo.

now it seems that it does not like the question mark in the doc, and complains about

looked at the beta.
saw for the first time how "flip" also rotates the board itself, not just the button. super cute.
interestingly, the first implementation of the standalone introducing speed control used slider.
never got it to be satisfactory.
if i may, i think it will be better and more useful to have a single "speed control" button, which will allow the reader to enter the delay numerically.

lichess is not the model.
look for any site which holds large library of games in PGN format, and look at the interactive game interface. first i stumbled on (from enwiki article) https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1129672
autoplay is useful feature. talk with chess aficionados. at the very least we should consult the authors. i asked on their talk page. (see enwiki:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chess ).

@sbassett : currently, the beta deployment task, T244075 depends on this task.
iiuc, there is kind of agreement that the extension can be deployed to test wiki, maybe under some conditions.
can you please update the beta task, and clarify if it can progress despite declining this task, and if so, what needs to be done?
maybe it's clear to everyone but me...
peace.

fwiw, i added to mediawiki:minerva.js on hewiki the following line, and the pencils are visible again.

can someone please explain

on further examination, it's a bit more complicated than than.

i would add specific chess cases, to verify correct pgn parsing:
- en passant
- castling
- promotion

currently, on wikimedia sites, the parsing _is_ lax, despite what the documentation says.

another user have copied the whole content of her console:

additional information:
user reports that on enwiki, and on hewiki with "uselang=en", she _does_ sees the "Save" button, but not with hebrew ui.

legit maps on many wikis are still broken. i believe this story should be reopened - i could not understand the status of the patch, but in production sites (wikipedias of all languages), this is still borked.

@IKhitron - if it's not chrome, then can you ask them for browser+version? you sure it's the same report?
so it's not necessarily related to mw update - more likely chrome change.
@Aklapper :
the url in devtools is:
