New subject: [Wikitech-l] wiki(m|p)edia.org on IE8 compatibility blacklist

12 Apr 2010

wikimedia.org, wikipedia.org, wikipedia.de and wiktionary.org are on the IE8
compatibility blacklist again (you can check by opening
res://iecompat.dll/iecompatdata.xml in IE8 or at
http://ie8blacklist.appspot.com/ ), which means that IE8 renders Wikipedia pages
just as IE7 would. I see no obvious difference when switching into IE8 standards
mode. Does someone know the reason for the blacklisting? If not, could someone
from the foundation ask them to remove these sites from the list? (Information
on removal requests can be found at the end of this article:
