apaskulin added a comment to T383283: Fix links on mediawiki.org using Method doclink and Class doclink templates.

I fixed the broken instances of method doclink. There are 7000+ instances of class doclink, so these will be harder to complete. We should think about how to check these programmatically instead of manually.

Hi @Tejinderk.2004, Unfortunately, this task has already been assigned to to @KineticPelagic. (I've updated the task to reflect this.) Since this project is just getting started, it's still too early for community contributions in general, but I'll let you know if there's a task that would be good for you to work on. Thanks for your interest!

Hi @Aruotes, Thanks for your interest in helping with this task! Unfortunately, this task (and the other tasks in the v2 columns) is for a new version of the Developer Portal (https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/technical-documentation/developer-portal) that is still being defined and built, so it isn't ready for contributions yet. I'm going to decline your patch for the original Developer Portal site (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/wikimedia/developer-portal) since that design has already been finalized. My apologies! I've updated the project description to hopefully make this more clear. I'll let you know when there's a task for the new project that's ready to work on.

apaskulin triaged T434363: Smarter use of columns for Action API parameter value list documentation as Low priority.

I looked at the code that generates these lists and didn't see an easy way to fix this issue:

  • There's no CSS option to enforce line breaks at commas without first breaking the list of tag names into individual HTML elements.
  • Adding an &nbsp instead of a space inside tag names would work, but I don't see an easy way to do this, and tag names without spaces (such as app-section-source) would still break across lines.
