This still happens. I've uploaded a new version of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EPSON_PX-8_-_1.jpg with cropped image on 2023-03-29 03:32 GMT.

Isn't it possible to suppress requesting static thumbnail URL from preview mode (static thumbnail isn't used there anyway, AFAIK, live map iframe is displayed instead), so that first request will be made later, from an already saved page (when context data for proper rendering are definitely available)?

Teslaton added a comment to T223787: Investigate impact of folding diacritics in Slovak.

As far as I know, most common (and "expected", from the user point of view) approch when implementing FTI solutions in Slovak-centered projects, is to normalize all latin variants of each char into it's plain ASCII equivalent. The resulting side-effect of (search) equivalence of words like mäso/maso is a minor one in Slovak (and users can solve this by iterating through search results, where term matches are presented in their original, non-normalized form).

Teslaton added a comment to T223787: Investigate impact of folding diacritics in Slovak.

As for latin chars with diacritics, maybe even a simple iconv/recode-based ASCII translit term normalization (both on indexing and lookup side) would be sufficient for Slovak and other latin-based alphabets:

Teslaton added a comment to T179259: Visual Editor removing whitespace from infoboxes by default.

Even in case thers's no format value in TemplateData (or no TemplateData / no doc for given tamplate at all), VE should not change block template markup into inline (and vice-versa). It should not be that hard to infer inline/block format from actual markup during parsing (witespace containing newline before/after argument separators, maybe some simple RE based heuristics).

Teslaton added a comment to T162849: Support WMF communities in run-up to switching EditPage over to OOUI.

This is intentional prioritisation for the billion users of Vector (as the default skin on Wikimedia wikis) against the thousands of users of Monobook (which isn't).

Teslaton added a comment to T162849: Support WMF communities in run-up to switching EditPage over to OOUI.

@Whatamidoing-WMF I don't expect them to look the same. What I do expect, is that the accessibility aspects (sizes and contrasts of relevant widgets, in this case) would get improved in the same way, regardless of a skin. Otherwise, there is no real benefit of change like this for non-vector users.

Under Monobook still no progress...

  • no OOjs UI "accessible" styling of inputs (standard tiny checkboxes)
  • strange bathroom-green gradient publish button, inconsistent with blue-gray skin visual
  • large vertical indent between summary and checkboxes

Teslaton added a comment to T119808: Allow UI language selection via settings (in addition to content language selector).

@Dbrant There are cases, where non-english users tend to (or have to) keep default english system-wide locale:

  • corporate policy / locked settings
  • wrong quality system localization (for their native language)
  • wrong quality UI localization or a malfunction of some key app (which, too, does not provide independent UI lang switching...)

BUT at the same time would prefer some other Wikipedia-Android app locale, if available.

Teslaton added a comment to T119351: Enable the Flow personal talk opt-in Beta Feature on cswiki.

OK, that makes sense (and is kind of symmetrical, in its own way), but to be true, somehow I've hoped, that Flow is implemented in a way, backward compatible with wikitext content format, so that common things, like diffs over multiple revisions, diffs from watchlist/RC, markup operations over single or multiple comments (copying, moving, merging, quoting/reusing on wikimarkup level) and particularly, the ability of posting comments using both approaches will be preserved. Sadly, that seems not to be the case.

Teslaton added a comment to T119351: Enable the Flow personal talk opt-in Beta Feature on cswiki.

Thanks for the explanation, Matthias. But then - is there any sane way for Flow-enabled and non Flow-enabled users to discuss/collaborate on the same talk page? If there's no such way, I don't really understand the purpose of proposed Flow opt-in/opt-out games. NonFlow-ers won't be able to discuss on talk pages, created by Flow-ers (while Flow-ers will still be able to discuss on classic wiki talk pages), which is quite asymmetric outcome and it will, de facto, force all to use Flow...

Would it be possible to set $wgFlowContentFormat to "wikitext", to be able to test Flow in the way, that is compatible with non-Flow discussants?

Nice, but it would be more relevant to monitor actual availability of each
particular service (tool) alone. The availability of kmlexport was < 90%
during last 24h, I guess. And even worse during week 17 (April 20 - 26).
