Hi, folks,
I am trying to make a wiki template to render some meta data of an article. And I want to use HTML5 Microdata to make these metadate machine- readable.
But the problem I found is that XHtml Sanitizer in MediaWiki remove all the attributes needed.
The Microdata spec[1]

Above is my personal proposal. Thanks for your consideration.

Hi Mingli,
When running in HTML5-mode (support added in 1.16.0, enabled by default) any attribute starting with "data-" is allowed and will not be stripped.
If $wgHtml5 is set to false [1] then they will be stripped.
There haven't been any new attributes supported that don't use the data- prefix though, so things like <el itemprop=""> will not work and stripped in the sanitizer.
I dont know how final the HTML5 microdata spec is though (it seems to be marked as a draft) perhaps we should wait adding new attirbutes untill it's ready ?
A few templates and scripts have already stated using the data-*- attributes in MediaWiki.
