Please improve data for topic: svg, feature: filter

[gitmullany]

I wrote the original documentation for the filter element. But the compatibility data has been changed and is now quite wrong. The correct versions are still specified in the document source, but are somehow not being pulled into the current compatibility table.

When you added data to the document you are talking about (can you give links to those pages?), did you see a warning to not maintain compatibility data in the wiki?

You do not see the previous compatibility table based on the wiki source because we separated the way of storing the data, and how to generate the tables from the wiki contents.

The compatibility table you now see on the pages is based of the data from this GitHub repo as a big JSON file has been scraped from MDN, as a one time import.

The objective of this is to ease the maintenance of the data, and eventually, remove the need to maintain manually. Our end goal is to have accurate data based on browser builds test results from https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-test test suite.

Could you please point us to the pages in the Wiki where you maintained the data related to that particular issue (topic: SVG, feature: filter). Also, it would be helpful if you could make a pull request with the data you maintained in the new format. You can refer to the format shown in one of the previous pull requests.

I added this answer to our Compatibility data FAQ here http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/WPD:Compatibility_Info/FAQ

Thank you.

Renoir,

I wrote this article two years ago during the first write-camp.
Compatibility data was "in-page" then. I will work on a pull request.

You do not see the previous compatibility table based on the wiki source
because we separated the way of storing the data, and how to generate the
tables from the wiki content.

The compatibility data you see in this github repo as a big JSON file has
been scraped from MDN, as a one time import, a few weeks ago.

The objective of this is to ease the maintenance of the data, and
eventually, remove the need to maintain manually. Our end goal is to feed
data from browser builds test runs coming from
https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-test tests which will give us great
compat data accuracy.

Could you please point us to the pages where you maintained the data.
Also, it would be helpful if you could make a pull request with the data
you maintained in the new format. You can refer to the format shown in one
of the previous pull requests.

Thank you

Thank you.

Hi again,

We knew that this would happen, there are a lot of data that is lost like that. You can write to [email protected] about the issue, it might have us trigger a task force to extract other valid compat data.

Thank you very much for your help.
