Just to keep informed

Hi,

I am reading through VE feedback page and bugs about nowiki issue, and know developer may be working hard to resolve it.Depending upon my observation i treied to report a bug at bugzill vide bug bug no.51509.Since I dont have good skill and time for crafting bugs so the bug 51509 subsequently got categorised resolved invalid.But when I was cross checking VE edits involving nowiki issue I came across more of simmiller instances .

May be above comes out to be a repeatation of known VisualEditor problem to you,still my intution says I should keep you informed about above subject.

Thanks and Regards

Hi there, since you dealt with [1], can you please check if this is related? (there are probably other bugs in the following diffs, unfortunately). Thanks, --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 15:09, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

One day...

We shall have a talk about timezones :p 55461 is what you asked for. Thanks, --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 08:55, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Elitre (WMF), Yes, I did wonder after I left the message ... maybe she is sleeping now .. oh well. I wasn't thinking straight then. Thanks anyway. Ssastry (talk) 14:39, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Oh please, it's not that you did something wrong. I just feel bad for not being able to help ATM, that's it. See you! --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 14:50, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Can you take a look at 57884 and tell me whether this is something about Parsoid? Thanks a lot, --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 21:09, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Table captions and parsing rules

I needed to make this edit to correct an issue where the mobile app (not sure if Android or iOS) where it was displaying the caption consistent to the wikitext (meaning the caption was appearing mid-table), but where desktop was displaying the caption where expected (which is the top of the table). Do you know why? --Izno (talk) 14:41, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

I don't. I originally thought this might be difference between Parsoid output (if the Android app) and MediaWiki core parser's output. But, I checked and they generate the same output on a simple sample table with caption in the middle. The table is split into 2 tbody's with the caption in between. So, I am not sure what pushes that caption to the top. My first hunch is CSS. But, let me look at the HTML of that previous revision and see what CSS applies.

It might also be good to check to see if the previous revision generates some lint; if not, I'm happy to file a task for it. HTML 5 requires the caption be the first child of the table, but the parsing specification looks like it doesn't care as long as the caption is a child. It looks like the relevant parsing rules are here. --Izno (talk) 14:58, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

In that revision, the caption is indeed at the top and has an empty tbody before it. The parsing spec is (understandably) more lenient in many areas compared to the HTML5 content model requirements. Anyway, please file a phab task since this is not something we can resolve now. Thanks! SSastry (WMF) (talk) 15:04, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Question about Linter tables on Commons

On pages such as this one at Commons, the tables are limited to 50 errors per table. On en.WP, we have gotten used to seeing 200 errors per table, which makes it a lot easier to browse, sort, and scroll to see patterns. Do you have a way to change the Commons tables to 200 errors?

I am quite confident that I am the only person working on Linter errors at Commons, since I have been able to reduce the number of errors from 13 million to under 8 million in under two days, but I can try to get a consensus over there if this could be a controversial change. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

I don't know right now. But, I'll get back to you after I find out the answer. SSastry (WMF) (talk) 03:01, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

A colleague helped me with this. I believe if you change the Preferences > Recent changes > Number of edits to show in recent changes, page histories, and in logs, by default preference on the wiki, you can control the paging size. I verified and that works. Hope that helps. SSastry (WMF) (talk) 16:58, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

That's incredible. I had no idea that this setting affected Linter reports. It works. Thank you. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:32, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
