Sesiones
Wikitext has a chance to evolve in 2024, as the Content Transform Team begins to deploy the next-generation Parsoid wikitext parser for article views on many Foundation wikis. This talk describes how to opt-in to an early look at the new parser and outlines the testing tools and decision framework used to guide deployment timing and ensure wiki content is unbroken. We’ll survey useful tools to check and migrate content on Wikimedia and 3rd-party wikis. With our new parser comes opportunities for new wikitext features, and we’ll touch on a few of those as well!
