Parsoid/Parser Unification/Media structure/FAQ/cs

Úvodem


Co si mohu představit pod pojmem strukturovaná média?
Je-li do kódu stránky vložen nějaký obrázek (kupř. takto:  ), vygeneruje na jeho základě parser MediaWiki HTML kód, který popisuje, jakým způsobem má webový prohlížeč na stránku tenhle obrázek vykreslit, aby se zobrazoval na vašem monitoru či mobilním zařízení správně. Tahle směs HTML značek a jejich atributů, která je součástí DOM modelu představuje strukturu, o které se teď budeme bavit.



Co by se tedy dalo na současné struktuře vylepšit?
Současná struktura HTML kódu je složena z vnořených značek div s atributy tříd, které nemají v podstatě žádný velký význam. Ty značky nejsou stejné, což sebou přináší problémy jak při práci s databází, tak při tvorbě stylů. A současný výstup vypadá jinak než když je generován přes jiné produkty, například přes kombinaci VisualEditor / Parsoid. Podrobněji je to popsáno v RFC. Výstup výše uvedeného kódu vypadá v současné době takto:



Takže čím ji chcete nahradit?
Struktura, kterou bychom chtěli použít místo toho, se skládá ze sémantických značek, což přináší výhody jednak z hlediska přístupnosti stránek zdravotně postiženým, například těm, co čtou wiki pomocí čteček obsahu obrazovky, kterým poskytují víc informací o tom, jaké obrázky, videa či jiné multimediální soubory jsou na stránce použity. The markup will be more regular and specified, making it easier and more efficient to query and style, meaning that the new structure will make it easier for anyone writing CSS related to media on the Wikimedia wikis. Moreover, using the same structure that has been piloted in Parsoid will provide consistency between products and reduce some CSS redundancy. The output for the example above will look like this:



A proč to děláte zrovna teď?
A medium term goal of the Content Transform Team at the WMF is to replace MediaWiki's legacy parser with Parsoid, a bidirectional wikitext to HTML5 parser. In order to get there, the legacy parser and Parsoid need to produce compatible HTML. Parsoid has been generating this new media structure for quite some time, to good effect. In order to lessen the disruption of changing parsers all at once, we're rolling out an isolated piece in preparation for further changes to come.



A jak se to testuje?

 * 1) The new structure has been piloted in Parsoid which is used in several active products like Visual Editor and the mobile apps. As editors and readers used these products, they flagged rendering differences with the old structure and problems with the new structure, which we've fixed over the years.
 * 2) In addition, we've done several rounds of visual difference testing where thousands of pages are rendered with the old and new structure and the rendering compared at a pixel level.
 * 3) We've also already deployed this change to several wikis, including mediawiki.org, wikitech, it.wikipedia.org, cs.wikipedia.org, vi.wikipedia.org, en.wikivoyage.org, and all the group 0 wikis.

A co ještě tedy zbývá dodělat?

 * 1) Code that interacts with the page, like JavaScript for extensions, user scripts and gadgets will need to be adjusted to the new structure, hopefully in a forwards and backwards compatible way.
 * 2) Skins will need to ask for the "content-media" feature or provide their own styling, since classes targeting the old structure won't apply.
 * 3) Některé wiki mají své CSS styly umístěny na stránku MediaWiki:Commons.css, a ty bude nejspíš potřeba přenést nějakým způsobem do nové struktury.

A od kdy se to zavede?
As above, it's already live on several wikis. However, we won't continue to push forward until the known issues are addressed and we've done some level of auditing of user scripts and gadgets to ensure we're causing as little disruption to readers and editors as possible.



A jak je to s obrazovými mapami a galeriemi?
The output for these extension tags builds on the media structure outlined above. They are specified at, respectively, ImageMap and Gallery. Note that further refining of the gallery output may happen in T268250.

What about templates that mimic the parser output?
For now, the stylesheets shipped by MediaWiki will continue to contain the rules that target the old parser output. Therefore templates that mimic it should continue to work unchanged. As mentioned above, we've done extensive visual difference testing to ensure that pages continue to render the same before and after these changes. In the longer term, we are discussing introducing new classes for these templates to migrate towards. See T318433 for details.

What about site owners operating their own instances of MediaWiki?
A MediaWiki config exists,, which currently defaults to. Site operators are encouraged to disable it and test for possible breakage. Skins that use  configured with   will receive styles targeting the new structure. In future versions of MediaWiki,  will default to   and, eventually, be removed entirely.



Mohu s tím nějak pomoci?
Test your code on the wikis we've deployed to. If you find any problems that are not covered below, please file tasks with the tag , or see the list of open tasks.

Copy known fixes to gadgets enabled on your wikis
A number of gadgets were identified as needing to be updated to support the new media structure. Fixes were applied to the source of the gadgets but the changes still need to propagate out to all the wikis that have duplicated the gadgets locally. See the task description of T297447 for the list of gadgets and wikis where the gadgets are enabled. If yours haven't been updated, please do so.

Copy known fixes to MediaWiki:Common.(css|js) to your wikis
A number of issues with site specific css and js were identified as needing to be updated to support the new media structure. See the task description of T271114 for the list of known issues common to multiple wikis and the wikis that may need to be updated. If yours haven't been updated, please do so.

The "image" class is no longer present on file description links
By default, a file (e.g. ) will link to its description page and would previously be given a class named .

In contrast, an explicit link (e.g. ) would not result in that class being applied.

In the new structure, the class serving the same purpose has been renamed to .

Selectors should target the new class, where appropriate. For example, see https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Snippets%2FDirect_imagelinks_to_Commons&type=revision&diff=5451422&oldid=3976429

The media option is now applied to the wrapper
Previously, the class media option (e.g. ) would be applied to the media element.

The class has been moved to the outer wrapper, in order to allow the most flexibility when selecting within the structure.

The media option is now applied to the wrapper and the class emitted has been renamed
Previously, the border media option (e.g. ) would result in the  class being applied to the media element.

For consistency, the class has been moved to the outer wrapper and renamed to  to prevent conflicts.

Horizontal and vertical alignment options now place classes on the wrapper
The horizontal alignment options include. The vertical alignment options include.

For example, previously, the center media option (e.g. ) would result in the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> class being applied to a wrapping div.

This now results in a figure with the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> class.

Similarly, the top media option (e.g. ) would previously result a style attribute being applied to the media element.

This now results in the <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"> class being applied to the wrapper.
