Dear all,
there was not much engagement in this discussion, but there is a
preference for option A, thus I will implement that.

Parsoid's internals. This work informs the draft Parsoid Extension API.
Subbu presented at Enterprise MediaWiki Conference last week to get early
feedback ( [[EMWCon_Spring_2020/Program]] has slides & video links). In a
couple weeks, after some refinement and tweaking, will broadcast this more
broadly. The goal is to get a more complete working version of this Parsoid
Extension API in the next couple months and have extensions deployed on the
Wikimedia cluster to be compatible with Parsoid.

Hi all!
Just a friendly reminder:

freenode where you can ask questions regarding the COVID-19 deployment
guidelines (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Covid-19).
This week's train deployment branch was cut today[0]. If you have any
concerns about patches that landed this week, feel free to reach out to me
or Release Engineering via email or IRC.

Hi all
I am having problems with the Mozilla version into subject.
I receive this errors:
/Content Security Policy: The page's settings blocked the loading of a
resource at inline ("script-src").
//Content Security Policy: The page's settings blocked the loading of a
resource at
https://it.wikipedia.org/w/load.php?lang=it&modules=startup&only=scripts&ra…
("script-src")./
It meansthat the visual editor is not present as the menubar of the
basic editor.
I fixed using:
/about: config//
//security.csp.enable//
//turned true to false/
The problem is not present in Chrome.
I write here because I don't know if I have to open a ticket in Phabricator.
Kind regards//

Hello,
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Revisions mentions "revision slots"
multiple times, but fails to explain what it is?
I noticed that some queries that were running fine in the past now
have warning: "Because "rvslots" was not specified, a legacy format
has been used for the output. This format is deprecated, and in the
future the new format will always be used."
Which is interesting, but not very descriptive. What are revision
slots? Why are they needed? What is difference between "legacy format"
and "new format"? If rvslots are so important, why they aren't part of
some of the examples?
So far I googled this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Slot it
seems like some new "work-in-progress" feature, that isn't very useful
yet, as there is only 1 slot in existence.
Is it necessary to pay attention to this? Can I simply silence this
warning by providing parameter rvslots=*? Or should I pay it some
deeper attention?
Thanks
