Hello everyone,
On behalf of the Parsing Team @ the WMF, I am announcing our plans to
replace Tidy with Remex on the next set of wikis.
On March 13th, we plan to turn off Tidy on about 100 wikis that have
fewer than 25 issues in all high-priority linter categories [1].
On March 14th, we plan to turn off Tidy on mzn, ko, nl, war, ceb
wikipedias [2].
Later in the month, probably March 20th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all
wikiversities [3] and wikimedia chapter / user group wikis [4]. This
step requires a bit more investigation to identify if all those wikis
are ready for the switch.
In February, we replaced Tidy on all wikinews wikis [5], private wikis
[6], and a bunch of miscellaneous wikis [7]. Once we are done with this
round in March, about 600 wikis on the wikimedia cluster would have had
Tidy replaced. We plan to complete this switch on all wikis (about 900)
by July 2018.
If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a comment on the
associated phabricator tickets or leave a message on
mw.org [8].
Thanks,
Subbu.
