aliu added a comment to T25932: Allow use of semantic HTML5 elements in wikitext.

It may be that we want {{#aside}} to put content into a separate ParserOutput section, like <indicator> does, so that skins can combine the aside content and the article content in more flexible ways. Assuming that the best way to style asides in article content is to embed an <aside> HTML element literally within the article text is not, I feel, a particularly helpful place to start.

Hmm. Without a given reason to decline, the reject isn't very convincing to me. The only reason against that I can see in that thread is an (unfounded?) distrust in intadmins being able to respond timely, and a pretty good concern about intadmins not necessarily knowing about graphs, which could be solved with making the small group template editors instead of intadmins.

If possible, maybe if the user’s set language has a corresponding variant-something, set it if possible and expose it in preferences?

aliu added a comment to T344061: Icon for width toggle is incorrect for anonymous users when enabled.

That we fix the icon first while the beta feature is being worked on. From my end it doesn't seem like there were much changes to the beta feature since it shipped.

@Jdlrobson I presume this isn't stalled now that the Accessibility prototype is finished.

Also, does that languages sidebar even apply to Wikifunctions? See https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/en/Z10012?useskin=monobook . Languages seem to be always inside the page content, never in the sidebar.

Problem is the -enabled and -disabled suffixes are associated with binary preferences... the main menu and the page tools are either pinned or they aren't.

This is probably present in pretty much every wiki with V22 except Wikipedia, at least MediaWiki also has it. Is the languages dropdown in Vector 2022's code or just a hack for all Wikipedia wikis?
