Sjoerddebruin added a comment to T384806: Expose thumbnail width setting as CSS variable.

@Jdlrobson-WMF I think this is good progress, although it will not be possible to use these as a value in math() etc, which can be quite useful in some situations.

Can you expand on this? https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/1300193 introduces CSS variables such as --image-size-standard. Would that do it?

Sjoerddebruin added a comment to T197137: Editing sitewide JS/CSS pages should require elevated security.

On Fandom wikis, all sitewide CSS/JS requires approval by Fandom staff before it can be put live. We can do the same here.

User makes edit to sitewide CSS/JS -> user clicks "save" -> user prompted to reauth (either with password or with second factor) -> edit is not immediately live for all users until second and third user with (editinterface) permissions on separate IP address approves the edit and auths with their password and second factor.

image.png (521×560 px, 24 KB)

For user scripts it would be: user makes edit to user CSS/JS -> user clicks "save" -> user prompted to reauth (either with password or with second factor) -> user script is live

Of course, a bypass would be possible through the loading of external scripts or sheets from a place like GitHub. But I highly doubt anyone would be able to load external scripts (except for vetted scripts) into site JS or CSS since the edit would almost certainly be rejected by the second interface admin.

My updated iPad does want to enter my credit card into it (giving me the option above the keyboard), my iPhone running iOS 18 only suggests me to add a credit card by scanning it. Both aren't blocking me like the macOS behaviour. I feel Apple did broaden the scope of what they see as a credit card field in the new version, probably due to low correct autocomplete value adoption.

Sjoerddebruin added a comment to T401523: Make "Quick Facts" sentence-case.

Does the language used in the apps fall under policies of one specific wiki? It used to have an lower f for two years (it seems?), the F has been capitalised in 2017. Perhaps clear consensus about the sentence is needed.

Sjoerddebruin added a comment to T401231: UserInfoCard should use Codex icons in actions menu.

I also wonder if they should use shorter texts, the contributions dropdown on the top-right also doesn't contain "Edit my preferences" in full.

Sjoerddebruin added a comment to T378756: Enabling the InputBox on Commons to use the new MediaSearch instead of SpecialSearch.

All the inputboxes on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Bots/Requests, including the one to create a request, seem to point to MediaSearch now, any idea why that happens? Doesn't happen on for example https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Oversighters

I feel the suggestions are now too narrow, especially with the last option being on two lines in multiple languages:

It's always up to a volunteer to make the current script more configurable, I don't think this needs to be declined. If it creates noise on the specific board just take it off the project.
