Nov 1, 2024Month: 2024-11 Overview: November 2024 delivered a focused set of Parsoid-related enhancements in hallowelt/mediawiki that improve rendering fidelity, compatibility with Parsoid, and operational observability. The work emphasizes business value by reducing rendering defects, clarifying APIs, and strengthening release hygiene while staying current with upstream dependencies. Key features delivered: - Parsoid HTML handling: Raw HTML support in PFragment with extension tag preservation to tunnel HTML content more reliably through Parsoid (commit 387061415a38ea2d28e76ac9d7d599f6f02deec3). - Parser API rename: iwlink and langlink renamed to interwikilink and interlanguagelink to improve readability and localization across definitions, notes, and tests (commit 8835c5755724f80b354fe4e563fef0154b139631). - Parsoid integration and compatibility updates: Synchronize core parsing/HTML rendering behavior with Parsoid changes, including adjustments to interwiki links, language variants, media galleries, and HTML sanitization for improved compatibility (commit 539fde72fcfa540977c79a2ad933c7b0f2ba244a). - Parsoid metrics and limit reporting enhancements: Improve metrics visibility by labeling Parsoid parsing with the User-Agent and enrich the limit report with template expansion statistics for Parsoid (commits 7fa6ed65a3b4dd4da8fda8198c41638e4209f6df; 79369af8cf18c888bca2272a92a696a5364a8b4f). - Dependency updates and maintenance: Upgrade dependencies (wikimedia/json-codec to 3.0.3 and wikimedia/parsoid to 0.21.0-aN tags) to stay current, plus maintenance/cleanup including removing unused arguments, deprecating old interfaces/classes, and expanding tests (commits eda3b425939ce85352982d24394865b9327d0c95; 5c11b127424807fc88e74bf770a9d8e9a27c2088; ed9546b207404fe2e2578e56e4e03d39060c98a5; 852fda7b50872f8b0e0223fab9b1210011eb07c0; 345b300a80f0669aac817d26f55d56af577aa962; 55383ddac102821a9650c81a110c5261b595b541; 9f6ee7ef03b2c3657aff60e81c4a0c17599cdc46; d9e94ab7e6030252571b635d80be05f510084e1a). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved end-user content rendering fidelity and consistency with Parsoid, reducing cross-repo regressions when parsing parser functions and interwiki/language variants. - Clearer API surface and up-to-date dependencies enable faster onboarding and lower maintenance risk for future Parsoid parity work. - Enhanced observability through metrics labeling and expanded template expansion reporting supports better operational decisions and SLA adherence. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Parsoid integration and HTML rendering pipelines - PFragment data handling and extension tag preservation - API refactoring and naming consistency across core definitions - Metrics instrumentation and observability improvements - Dependency management, release hygiene, and test maintenance
