Thanks mike! I should have opened tickets myself, but I really wanted to post the feedback to the list first so I could get some feedback on my feedback, and maybe some suggestions.
- Math formulas are generally very well rendered and handled,
although integrals, limits and summations seem to be a bit cramped.
This should probably use the same renderer as we use for math images. Not sure why it wouldn't do so. Haven't added a bug for this as it's not clear to me what's going on or what needs to change.
It looks to me (and I could definitely be wrong) like it's using the "HTML if possible" rendering option, probably to save bandwidth on the conversion server.
- I would love it if authors could specify some kind of "print name",
such as in their preferences. That way people could be recognized by their real names if they choose, instead of by their on-wiki screennames.
We could request $wgAllowRealName to be enabled - then Collections could access that for attribution where provided. Probably that's a good idea
- users don't have to provide a real name, and we should allow everyone
who wishes to do so to provide a name for attribution.
This sounds like a great solution, and I didn't even realize it was an option. There are a lot of editors, myself included, who would like to use real names more often. I like having the pseudonym as well for a variety of reasons, but being able to post my real name for things like published books would be a great thing. It beats having to explain to people I show the books off to that "Yeah, in this book I'm listed at Whiteknight instead of by my real name", and trying to explain why that is. Maybe we should ask the higher-ups whether this is even an option (privacy concerns might scuttle this ship before we even leave port).
