Re: [Wikitech-l] Module storage is coming

I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out. The only downside I can so far see is that the amount of browser storage available varies drastically [1] and I wonder whether this will cause upsets for those browsers with extremely strict limits. I've also been toying with the idea of using loca

[Wikitech-l] Visual Editor is trashing every article on French Wiki

Currently, Visual Editor is trashing badly every article that is edited on French Wiki: every accented character is replaced by strange characters all over the article. Could you please stop immediately VE ? How can such a mess make its way into production ? Is there no real tests before ? Nico

Re: [Wikitech-l] Visual Editor is trashing every article on French Wiki

I'm not involved in the VisualEditor development, but I've tried to pass on this to one of the engineers involved in VisualEditor so he's aware of it. Obviously this is an urgent problem that needs fixing. Thanks, Dan On 4 November 2013 20:29, Nicolas Vervelle wrote: > Currently, Visual Editor

Re: [Wikitech-l] Visual Editor is trashing every article on French Wiki

This was due to a broken deployment of Parsoid, the new MediaWiki parser used by VisualEditor. A new library dependency defaulted to iso8859-1 instead of utf-8, which caused character munging to occur. Gabriel is working on a postmortem and we'll share this shortly with recommendations on how to a
