Change Details

Many wikis include now-deprecated rules which are hidden behind this override: ``` .mw-ref > a[ style~='mw-Ref' ]::after { content: none !important; } ``` For example, see these rules on [[ https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%88%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%8A:Common.css | arwiki ]]: ``` .mw-ref > a[data-mw-group=decimal]::after { content: '[' counter( mw-Ref, decimal ) ']'; } .mw-ref > a[data-mw-group=lower-roman]::after { content: '[' counter( mw-Ref, lower-roman ) ']'; } .... ``` The original intention of these rules is to style Parsoid footnote markers to look the same as legacy parser output, but this has been redundant since {T382310}. Beginning 20 February, we want to remove all rules affecting the footnote markers. This should be safe, since the visible HTML is already suppressing these rules using the `!important` directive above. Do not change rules related to backlink markers, these match on `mw:referencedBy` and they will be addressed in later work. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Cite_CSS for an overview of the migration.
