Want to visit your meeting in person. Question: 3D / html5 / WebGL in Wikipedia / Wikimedia - status, possibilities @MichaelRieseBerlin

Andreg-p: I need help for the Popups extension. I'm working on the phabricator ticket phab:T208758 and want to enable popups for mathematical expressions. I can generate the information for the popup via a SpecialPage.php. However, it turns out that the popup extension seems to avoid showing special pages. So I wonder if there is a reason why special pages should not be shown via popups. I try to enable the extension to do so, but in the end, the Popups extension uses Extension:TextExtracts and this extension itself fails to extract the text from special pages. Now I'm lost. I think there is a reason for this behaviour? Andreg-p (talk) 07:47, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If I can get unbanned on IRC following an enwiki socking incident, I'd like to ask about using the oauth api to get user ID and username in python. If not, might try Wikipedia:WP:Discord RhinosF1 (talk) 17:14, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You may find most of the answer to this question in wikitech:Help:Toolforge/My first Flask OAuth tool. --BDavis (WMF) (talk) 22:47, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, if there's time left: setting ref="noopener" on OOUI buttons when using target="_blank" for an external domain. It's recommended on Wikimedia Security Team/Security reviews/What we are looking for, but doesn't seem possible.
