Hello everyone,
That time is finally upon us. [1]
On 6 July 2017, we made an announcement [2] about our plans to replace
Tidy with RemexHtml on the Wikimedia cluster.
Over the last year, we have progressively replaced Tidy on about 800
wikis in a phased manner. [3]
A year later, as announced and planned, on 5 July 2018, the last 100 or
so wikis [6] will have Tidy replaced to complete this transition. [3]
If you are an editor of one of these last remaining wikis, we have a
query [4] which gives you counts of linter issues in the main namespace
that might need fixing.
Many thanks to all the hundreds of editors on all the wikis who have
been fixing markup on pages and templates. You have enabled us to do
this much-required upgrade of a key part of our core technical platform
with the minimum of disruption to readers.
If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a comment on the
relevant Phabricator ticket [3] or leave a message on
mediawiki.org. [5]
Thanks,
Subbu.
