cscott added a comment to T110843: Banners do not show up in mobile editor preview or new beta feature "wikitext editor".

Rather than page properties, which are stored and indexed in a separate database table, probably ParserOutput::setExtensionData() would be sufficient for this use case.

matmarex closed T97494: Extremely high amount of errors for anonymous editors when using MobileFrontend's wikitext editor as Declined.

The MobileWebEditing schema, in which these errors were logged, has been decommissioned ages ago. I don't see anything unusual in the errors logged in the current EditAttemptStep schema. I'm afraid the cause of this issue has been lost to time.

These days there are a lot fewer browsers that are served JavaScript by MediaWiki, but not supported by VisualEditor (in fact there might not be any). I don't think this is worth building any more.

Agreed re: just offering 90/180/-90 for under-X-MB files. Raise that to 20MB and you'll cover most good/featured images.

Legoktm added a comment to T35186: Provide a well-performing API to rotate an image.

I think simple rotating (let's leave cropping out of it for now) is a must for Commons and something that should be supported at production quality, especially given the recent emphasis on better multimedia and technical support for Commons. Anyways it seems like low hanging fruit.

Sj added a comment to T35186: Provide a well-performing API to rotate an image.

@Legoktm @Ladsgroup it seems crop and rotate (by 90/180) are such a common use case they should be "on" by default, whether by closer integration of CropTool into the upload wizard or otherwise.

Uzume added a comment to T120794: Create redirect when moving modules.

Using something simplistic like the proposed return require( "Module:Target" ) can easily be detected by the target module, perhaps even affecting its functionality. Specifically, ... will have a value during the module initialization because the module is required and not directly #invoked and mw.getCurrentFrame():getTitle() will refer to the #invoked title and not the redirection target. Also reported script errors will list the #invoked module in the call stack because the target module is not truly treated as the Lua "main" module.
