I have kicked off a TestFlight Experimental Build (#16) with my native editor progress. For articles with descriptions, in the action sheet prompt I have updated the options to include "full web editor" and "full native editor" options. Full web editor will demonstrate how a full page wikitext acts with our current web editor, and full native editor is my new prototype with full page wikitext. The performance with the native editor is much better for initial loading, find, and font size changes. There are some remaining bugs but I don't expect those to be difficult or affect performance. Let's discuss how we want to move forward next week.

Hi @EpicPupper! The app will now block the user on the editor with the custom block message located at https://{lang}.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Blockedtext, even for partial blocks. This should match Android's implementation of blocked messages. It was rather difficult to test blocks because we were limited to Test Wikipedia, so if you notice it isn't working as you expected, please file a bug task (or respond here) and we look into it. Thank you!

@Mazevedo I think the blocked messages (red exclamation point) portion of this task description is already done, but the remaining bits of this task will be detecting a page protection error from the fetch wikitext API response on the section editor, then displaying the error modal use (ErrorPanelViewController` from Panels.swift) with the orange warning image.

Offline mode still works for me across all OSes. We can also guide iOS users to enabling lazy image loading in iOS Settings > Safari > Advanced > Experimental Features > Lazy image loading.

The best I could test is via different versions of Simulator. Here are some screenshots from Safari inspector. The steps I took for this are:

@contributor I'm still seeing the bug when I currently run in Xcode against main (so version 7.3.0). Here's using iPhone 14 simulator (iOS 16.2):

Planning notes:

I'm holding on estimates until design is done with any editing flow changes they may want here. I do propose the faster path by leaning on our current CodeMirror editor.

@JTannerWMF I'm a bit unsure on who should tackle this first, so putting this in your column for now.

Kicking off a TestFlight Experimental build (#14) of how it's acting so far. It might help to see how it feels and what UI needs to change (if any). You can access from the talk page overflow menu, as well as from the alert popup when tapping on the first pencil in article.

Progress in full-page-editing branch.

@SNowick_WMF Cassandra backing storage was turned off for PT Wiki on March 9th. Can we get a breakdown of average values by wiki, grouped by day from around this time? It would be useful to see if there has been a jump for PT Wiki around this time. Thanks!

@ABorbaWMF When you get a moment, can you try to reproduce this bug? It would be super helpful if we had an app in this state. Thanks!

I'm struggling to reproduce, which makes fixing this difficult. Some ideas I have:
