--- Comment #35 from S. McCandlish <smccandl...@gmail.com> 2010-06-12 08:03:27 UTC --- 2004-10-10. This was opening more than 5 1/2 years ago! What's the problem? ABX 2009-06-22 18:23:25 UTC: > I have just noticed that lack of <DFN> in fact limits how wiktionaries are displayed on results of search engines. That's a serious issue. I need <dfn>, too, for rich glossary code I'm working on. Aryeh Gregor 2009-08-02 22:17:12 UTC: > I implemented <abbr> support in r54241 for the specific reason given in the commit message (i.e., to support r54242)... Almost 8 months later, Solitarius 2010-03-23 15:55:40 UTC: > Before whitelisting any tag that start with the letter 'a' (<abbr>, <address> and <acronyn>), please look at bug 22905. Those three tags will be confused with <a> by doMagicLinks() in Parser.php. Then fix doMagicLinks()? If the sky didn't fall in 7+ months, what's the issue, and how important is it? How hard to resolve? How about some real information other than "Brion said no almost 5 years ago" (and has probably forgotten and doesn't care). Even if he did, maybe he doesn't now. If consensus can change, surely his mind can too. I guess I'll drop him a line and ask him to take another look at this, because the problems are mounting, and no real reason has been given here why not to add support for the rest of the basic HTML tags (most if not all of these date to HTML 2.0 at least; it's not like they're weird, untested stuff). DFN *obviously* needs to be implemented ASAP. ABBR and ACRONYM would be incredibly useful in every WikiMedia project I can think of. I'd add KBD and SAMP next, so we can all stop blatantly abusing CODE and TT. Q and ADDRESS last, I'd say. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
