[Wikitech-l] VisualEditor weekly triage meetings – 2015-03-04 – minutes

Here are the minutes for this week's VisualEditor weekly triage meeting on 2015-03-04.

*Item 1 – Release criteria*

The release criteria at ​ ​ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/sprint/profile/1015/ were ​ ​ considered. No changes were proposed. N ote that the lowest priority label in Phabricator was re-labelled to "Lowest", and this document was adjusted to follow suit.

*Item ​2 – Re​view of fixed tickets since last week*

​These accepted​ items were fixed and so will be released in this week's production release unless otherwise noted.

… ​ in VisualEditor:

- *https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91299 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91299* – Don't show redlinks as existing links if MediaWiki didn't tell us one way or the other - *https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88386 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88386* – ~50ms spent animating a.oo-ui-buttonElement-button - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76523 – Show the VisualEditor toolbar/editor chrome as soon as VE scripts are loaded, rather than blocking on waiting for the content to load - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89054 – Adjust the context menu to be able to display richer data for tools that want it; plus the related task https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71474 – Reference & cite tooltips should show content snippets, instead of generic labels - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T70590 – If you click out of a link inspector to somewhere else in the document, the link gets inserted and selected, moving your cursor away from where you clicked - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89923 – Categories become "detached item" after clicking 'Cancel' button - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89878 – mediawiki.feedback should use OOjs UI dialog - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76998 – Random removal of categories when using Safari; as part of which we also fixed the related tasks https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T74048 – VE corruption issue(?) moving pre-existing categories to the middle of the page and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T72373 – Categories incorrectly moved up, possibly due to improperly closed table
