Jdlrobson added a comment to T315347: Show blue links as red links in preview.

Screenshot 2024-10-24 at 20.26.32.png (950×2 px, 557 KB)

Here's a screen shot from my browser on the linked page, with relevant inspector information highlighted. I am logged in, in mobile mode, in Firefox for Mac OS. Logged out, I see red links. Where could the blue color be coming from? I don't know enough about the CSS to know where load.php is pulling this color from.

I looked through my preferences and saw a few gadgets that adjust link color, and I guess if I have to turn them off in batches to see what fixes it, I could, but any clues would be helpful.

Jdlrobson added a comment to T375575: Charts legend display incorrectly in RTL.

I was surprised to learn that Apache echarts doesn't support rendering in RTL. https://github.com/apache/echarts/issues/16419
I also understand this might not be a huge problem for RTL readers (at least in Hebrew?)

Jdlrobson added a comment to T315347: Show blue links as red links in preview.

This appears to be a generalized mobile view problem, not just an apps problem. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fran%C3%A7ois_Mitterrand&oldid=1250330772 for an example (I am using Firefox for Mac OS on a computer, clicking the Mobile link at the bottom of the page). The nonexistent "Template:ISBN)" shows as blue, as do all of the nonexistent article links in the succession boxes at the bottom of the page (Roger Gillot, Jehan Faulquier, etc.)

This is a big problem for editors attempting to use templates, since nonexistent templates are forbidden, at least on en.WP.

Red links are fundamental to Wikipedia. Am I missing something? Is this something that can be fixed in the mobile skin(s) somewhat easily?

Jdlrobson closed T375559: Follow up work: Resize event handlers running for Vector and Minerva every time dark mode is enabled as Declined.

Web team chatted about this. We think that there is likely a future product need to have more granularity about which client preference changed in addition to a resize event. For example CodeEditor expressed an interest in such as event, but only needs to adapt if the theme changes, but not the size of the browser. However without this use case right now there is no clear motivation to do that.

Jdlrobson reopened T350840: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'parentNode') at ThreadItem.js.ThreadItem.static.newFromJSON as "Open".

This is still occurring at a significant rante - mostly on bn.m.wikivoyage.org and en.m.wikivoyage.org
so I assume a gadget there also needs to be updated.

Jdlrobson closed T306942: Skins should no longer output HTML and head tag as Resolved.

I think there should be a task to remove the 'bodyOnly' option from skins since it no longer does anything not only for SkinMustache now, but for everything.

Yes that will be done in a follow up task. I dont want to treat this as a deprecation as that would cause unnecessary spam to skin developers. Doing that is blocked on this task.

@GMikesell-WMF this looks like a problem with caching.

If you test again it should look correct.

Jdlrobson added a comment to T266361: Reduce ResourceLoader modules used in Minerva..

I noticed that jQuery (300 KB) is still getting loaded unconditionally. What if we had it off *by default* (i.e. in safemode) and only loaded it when someone uses a script that has it as a dependency?

Jdlrobson updated subscribers of T376971: [Timebox] Charts are not responsive.

I had a chat with @DTorsani-WMF yesterday and @CCiufo-WMF today. Fixing this issue is a blocker for deployment. After talking to both of them, I am leaning towards us loading Apache eCharts on the client.

scroll to the bottom and click on the little information button. The issue described should appear.

I don't see the little information button even with the beta feature enabled. I think I need some kind of user permission?
I'll try and set this up locally. I just need to be able to reproduce this to test your patch. I also want to make sure the IP masking popup is using the z–index as if it is not, there are likely bugs elsewhere.
