Hello everyone,

On Monday this week, we enabled Parsoid/PHP everywhere for all products (Visual Editor, Mobile Content Service, Structured Discussions aka Flow, Content Translation) but two (Wikitext Linter, Language Variant support). Those last two were being supported by Parsoid/JS.

However, about 30 minutes back, we disabled database updates for wikitext lints by turning off Parsoid/JS for the wikitext linter. You can read the details in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T240057 but we took the decision in order to help mitigate cluster load issues ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T239983 if you have access to the phab task ).

This is a temporary measure and we expect to be able to enable wikitext linter updates something in the coming week (optimistically) assuming the mediawiki train can roll out this week.

Not to bury the lede or anything (late on a Friday evening in the US timezones), but we have now effectively switched over from Parsoid/JS to Parsoid/PHP on the Wikimedia cluster. Once we have moved over language variant support from Parsoid/JS to Parsoid/PHP and wrapped up any other loose ends and tied a neat bow around it all, we'll be publishing a blog post about the Parsoid/PHP porting and rollout process.
