Session
Parsoid is coming to your wiki soon!
MediaWiki currently uses two different components to convert wiki markup into HTML for readers: a legacy parser and, since 2011, Parsoid. Parsoid is already used for VisualEditor and for reading Wikivoyage and some Wiktionaries. In this talk, we’ll present the Parser Unification project which aims to use Parsoid for all of Wikimedia’s readers. We’ll highlight the new features Parsoid enables and explain our rollout plan and testing strategy. We’ll also show how you can opt-in early to help try out Parsoid, address your questions, and offer a roadmap for one of MediaWiki’s largest platform changes in recent years.
