Parsing

edit
  • https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/333997/ will be merged next week (minor breaking change in preprocessor -- announcement in tech news 2 weeks + editors have been fixing up affected pages)
  • Linter fixes necessary to redeploy it on large wikis not yet complete -- expecting to have them done end of week
  • This update is a repetition of what has already been mentioned on the relevant gerrit patches and phab tickets. Parsoid can now handle the mw-parser-output <div> core change -- by requesting the api to not wrap output of action=parse. The ParsoidBatchAPI change to do this is part of 1.30.0-wmf.2 and needs to ride the m/w train with the corresponding core patch.
