Hello everyone,

On behalf of the Parsing Team @ the WMF, I am announcing our plans to replace Tidy with Remex on the next set of wikis.

On April 4th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all wikiquotes (except frwikiquote) [1] and wikimedia wikis [2]. 23 wikis will have Tidy replaced.

On April 11th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all wikis with < 50 entries in all high priority linter categories [3]. About 60 wikis will have Tidy replaced.

Please follow T175706 [4] to monitor progress of Tidy replacement. Currently about 600 wikis have had Tidy replaced and we have another 300 wikis to go. We plan to finish this transition from Tidy to RemexHtml by end of June 2018.

If you have any questions or concerns, please leave a comment on the associated phabricator tickets or leave a message on mw.org [5].

Thanks,

Subbu.
