Hello everyone,
*TL:D**R;*
As you are aware from previous postings on this list [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
[6], we have been progressively replacing Tidy with RemexHtml on all wikis
on the wikimedia cluster. As of today, about 650 wikis have made the switch
that include a number of large wikis. We aim to complete this switch over
on the remaining 250 wikis by end of June 2018. Another 40 or so wikis will
be switched on May 2nd.
There are a few large wikis (es, pt, uk, zh especially) that could use
more attention addressing Linter issues so that when we make the switch end
of June, some pages on these wiki don't render differently from how they do
now.
*Details:*
I started investigating more closely where the remaining large wikis are
with respect to the linter issues (high priority categories on the
Special:LintErrors page) that are pertinent to these wikis. I am listing
below results from running sql queries on
quarry.wmflabs.org for these
wikis. If you are a community member on any of these wikis, do try to
address these on your wiki.
*15 other large wikis:*
See
https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/26474 for counts of linter issues
for each of the 9 categories in the main namespace.
* *es, pt, uk, zh* wikis have total error counts over 10K and in some
cases, it is usually one category which needs attention.
* *vi, ro, sr, sh, ar, tr, id* are not too bad but don't seem to have
seen a lot of change which indicates that these wikis aren't looking at
linter issues.
* fr, hu, ja, pl wikis seem to be in good shape overall. There has been a
steady fixing of issues and I think all these will will be in fairly decent
shape for replacing Tidy by end of June.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsing/Replacing_Tidy/FAQ#Simplified_instru…
has some summarized instructions for fixing issues in different categories
*English Wikipedia:*
See
https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/25665 for counts of linter issues
for each of the 9 categories in the main namespace.
English wp has been making slow and gradual progress. I think overall,
despite there still being ~8300 instances (not pages) that need fixing,
enwp is in pretty good shape for replacing Tidy by end of June.
*Commons:*
See
https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/25693 for counts of linter issues
for each of the 9 categories in the File (ns6), Gallery (ns0), and Template
(ns10) namespaces.
The vast majority of html5-misnesting errors on commons seem to come from
the use of the {{lang}} template which uses a <span> tag to wrap content.
However, it seems to be extremely common to pass content with paragraphs
into the {{lang}} template. Right now, this doesn't cause any visible
rendering issues and could be ignored temporarily, but we strongly
recommend fixing lang to use <div> or on pages which misuse {{lang}} this
way, replace use of {{lang}} by creating a new template ({{lang-block}}
maybe?) that uses a <div> tag.
* Some tips:*
1. On some wikis, fixing templates usually fixes the problem. Over the
last 6 months, I've personally spent many hours fixing 100s of templates on
10s of different wikis and can personally attest to the efficacy of that
strategy.
2. A lot of the html5-misnesting errors seem to be from incorrectly using
a <span> tag to wrap content that has paragraphs, lists, tables. In all
these cases, changing them to <div> almost always fixes the problem.
If you need any assistance, please leave a message on

4pm PST, you can also usually find us on IRC on #mediawiki-parsoid.
Thanks,
