Extension talk:Graph/Interactive Graph Tutorial

Great tutorial. One issue, that is comments in Vega. On the page you included c style "// ..." comments. The Vega editor doesn't accept comments in the JSON specification. However, extension graph does accepts comments. Wiki style comments are accepted by mediawiki, including within graphs. However those wiki style comments are not accepted in the Vega editor. Somehow c style "// ..." comments are accepted within graphs by extension:graph in mediawiki, they are treated as comment, that is white space, that is ignored. Please note that outside graphs "// ..." is normally displayed and not treated as comment. Vega and JSON doesn't like comments, except for adding fields ("description": "vega acceptable comment style"). What I expect in a tutorial on graphs is source material that works both in the Wikimedia farm as in the Vega editor. Ideally your tutorial examples are added upstream. However that is sending users to another site for sandboxing. They could also experiment with examples in a sandbox space on this wiki. Ad Huikeshoven (talk) 10:17, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
