It sounds like we should be talking to @Catrope about this.

I don't expect to make any progress on this any time soon. However, if anyone wants to do this and has questions, please feel free to leave a message for me at http://mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Whatamidoing_(WMF)

Saving dozens of tabs and restarting Safari seems to have solved the problem. Or perhaps it went away for unrelated reasons.

Thanks

First pass completed on Thursday morning.

I think we're done with this stage of this project.

They'll want to know when to expect the changes, but I think we're in good shape.

I can indeed edit the lead section at enwiki, on the mobile site, with JavaScript disabled.

Recommendations have been sent to the Editing team's mailing list.

Be me? I was editing on office.wiki, so that means Safari version 12.1 (14607.1.40.1.4) on macOS Mojave 10.14.4 (18E226). I think that changing the screen size resolved it. Also, sometimes when the toolbar was in the right place, the drop-down to switch editing modes was detached. I assume that was related.

Thanks!

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor_on_mobile/Usability_improvements was reviewed and improved last Friday. We can consider that project page {{done}}.

This is great news. Reducing the number of systems down to two will make writing the user guide easier.

So we'll end up with two systems:

We have three systems:

We also need to sort out the target/focus wikis, to have a really good plan for what to do. Ideally, we'll be reaching out mostly to active mobile users on those wikis.

Putting a link in the context menu would probably be an adequate alternative. It feels more discoverable, too.

What do you think would be a better way to handle a situation such as this where I was wanting to continue an open thread, not necessarily related to the completion of the task's description?

@Esanders, Izno's problem is going to drive me nuts. When there's an exact match, it needs to use that exact match, and not suggest something longer. If I've typed r, and the options it finds are 35 instances of r and one of Re-ping in my last 200 edit summaries, then it should definitely be suggesting r and not the other longer one.

Great feature. <3
Can we have a way to delete misspelled sentences? Thanks!

I'm not sure that it's fair to make Peter evaluate this. The core goal here is all pre-Peter:

Improving mobile editing may need to be done for many years, but the next stage can have separate tasks.

I think we're creating a new set of asks for the Toolbar Improvements work.

Doesn't "all remaining wikis" mean something closer to 800 (not 200)?

@FredTC This is the bug you reported at enwiki's Village pump miscellaneous last week.

I've added this to User-notice : https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tech/News/2019/13&diff=18954575&oldid=18953957

@Ammarpad seems to have already written the patch. What else needs to be done?

If you'd like a story about content creation, then the new Events Dashboard might be able to calculate participation.

Ed, I realize that I'm just whingeing here, but I need this again, in the opposite direction. I've got links in a spreadsheet that I need to be links in a list. Or just plain 'paragraphs' of links. Just definitely not a table, and without losing the links (which is what all of the "remove formatting" options seem to do).

@Yuriy_kosygin has suggested at the English Wikivoyage that this should be the default gallery mode for most mobile/smartphone readers. It sounds like a reasonable approach (swipe through the images, rather than seeing tiny/illegible thumbs).

Could someone please remind the nice folks at Phacility that "Ignore Conflict" should actually ignore timezone conflicts? That is, it should ALWAYS ignore the timezone conflicts, and not have to be repeatedly told to ignore the conflict over and over. "Repeatedly telling" ≠ "ignoring".

This feature is not currently available for private wikis. Were you editing on a third-party wiki?
