Talk:Parsoid

Certain wording in lede not verified

> "In early 2024, Parsoid began to be used on some production wikis as the default parser for read views"

This line seems to never be followed up on. What wikis? Pauliesnug (talk) 21:21, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm assuming they are certain wikis of the Wikimedia Foundation (now clarified as such), but maybe @cscott can tell you which ones have taken that step? Cavila 09:45, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

@Pauliesnug, @Cavila: I've added a link to the production config (which also has a git history prominently linked), in case you're curious. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 16:36, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

A question

Does the current PHP-version of Parsoid use WikiPEG? Plantaest (talk) 16:49, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Another question: Can I use Parsoid as an offline service like mwparserfromhell, as I only need the AST output? Thanks. Plantaest (talk) 18:09, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Parsioid Generic 500 Error

I just tried to convert wikitext -> html, and got a generic 500 error.

{ "message": "Error: exception of type Error", "reqId": "5b78ed04-266f-4384-b1b9-4ebc400fc962", "httpCode": 500, "httpReason": "Internal Server Error" }

How to stop Duplicate ID errors?

My shiny new CodeMirror editor shows Duplicate Id errors but why? The citations it is pointing to are distinct. Johnjbarton (talk) 22:58, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Page was rendered with Parsoid

According to the FAQ, pages parsed with Parsoid should in the footer say "Page was rendered with Parsoid". Parsoid is being used in the nlwiki. In the nlwiki, pages in the footer show 'Pagina was weergegeven met Parsoid'. However, this is a wrong translation. 'weergegeven' means more something like 'displayed'. So, I would like to change the translation to 'Pagina was vertolkt met Parsoid', or simple 'Pagine was gerendered met Parsoid'. Where are these translations configured? ~2026-24809-42 (talk) 09:22, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

This is the renderedwith-parsoid message, translated at https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Renderedwith-parsoid (Dutch version) — it might be best to discuss there? Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 14:12, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

new parser limit for # of images

Hi my article pl:Lista dzieł malarskich Stanisława Ignacego Witkiewicza catalogues about 2600 artworks by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (Q381238) and is one of the articles affected by recently implemented parser limit for # of images set to 1250 as it shows 2200 images. Similar issues were reported by @Fornax, Robloxguest3, and EmmaCoop: . Based on T348236 it looks like the limit was set based on c:User:Jpbazard/gallery page which times out while rendering. That page created by c:Commons:Commonist tool, has 14.4k images, and 2.8k sections and galleries, so I am not surprised that it times out. My article was up for last 4 years and I never noticed any performance issues. According to the "NewPP limit report" time usage: 12.8s and the page does not fetch any data from Wikidata or use any expensive parser functions.

I agree that there should be some limit on number of images but 1250 seems quite low. Spliting my article into "part 1" and "part 2" seems silly. Maybe we can bump it to 4-5k file range? Jarekt (talk) 18:48, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
