Replace and remove dmath tags
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Dmath tags are not compatible with VE. I'm creating a pywikibot script to replace them with the proper <math display="block"> tag.

It won't be a problem for editors thanks to VE.

When shall we start the conversion in the production website?

Maybe after after we have the lts mediawiki and vodka is stable. But I'm not sure, you can also start doing it now imho

I've some problems with .vodka and pywikibot script, probably because the storage is slow on that server and maybe mw update.
I've tested the replacement on production. It works very well.
Tomorrow I'll complete the task directly on production.

Ok, well done!

We should think about the user and how to make them easy to write the full math tag

But with visual editor the type of math tag will be selected graphically, so no problem.

I'm waiting for the OCG hotfix before completing the replacement in the production website.

Now that we are focusing on the release of WikiToLearn (0.8) we'd better wait the new release to complete the substitution of all dmath tags.

All the dmath tags have been removed from the production website.
