Today

cscott added a comment to T427066: Media dialog in VisualEditor uses invalid imageinfo API parameter.

This caused a regression in Parsoid; two different patches above to resolve it.

Yesterday

cscott added a comment to T426249: iOS Safari unable to load a Village Pump page when clicking on link to a sub-thread.

Ok, this makes more sense that a JS interaction would cause memory exhaustion (vs just a particular magic sequence of HTML).

cscott created T427567: Variant link conversion doesn't work on red links to media in Parsoid.

cscott added a comment to T427465: Move thumbnail caching from upload cluster to text.

There's the potential to break various parser tests that hardcode a file URL. I don't think this will be a big concern in practice, but something to look out for.

cscott added a comment to T426746: TOC not rendered when heading tags are generated in module/template.

It appears at the moment for these "html heading" tags we are wrapping them but not including them in the TOC, whereas we want to *not* wrap them but *include* them in the TOC.

cscott added a comment to T359221: Parsoid's TOC handling needs to deal with HTML-returning components (exts, SPTs, parser funcs returning HTML) consistently.

A quick test seems to indicate that both Parsoid and the legacy parser use the .textContent of the HTML included in the heading to generate the TOC text (and presumably ID): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Cscott/Toc&oldid=1356567473

cscott added a comment to T426249: iOS Safari unable to load a Village Pump page when clicking on link to a sub-thread.

Does this trigger with using "desktop" mode on iOS Safari, but with useparsoid=1? My assumption is that this is a MobileFrontEnd bug, not necessarily a Parsoid bug.

cscott closed T417709: Link parsing diff when template emits category as Resolved.

This was a category breaking a wikilink, like:

[http://example.com/foo[[Category:Bar]].mp3 caption]

This is unsupported wiki syntax, that happened to work with the legacy parser because it stripped categories.

cscott added a project to T413437: Parsoid sometimes misplaces three consecutive closing brackets in image links: Parsoid-Read-Views (Large Wikipedias).
