WikiBhasha should not allow the user to bring outside content into it.
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Author: WBMSRI

Description:
Bringing content that is other than plain text to WikiBhasha edit area from outside WikiBhasha (by copy-paste or drag-drop) can cause issue as Wikipedia requires content to be plain text [preferably in wiki markup]. So, WikiBhasha doesn’t allow the user to bring content from outside of WikiBhasha to its edit area.

Hence, WikiBhasha allows the user to bring the text content to the scratch pad (as which takes only plain text). This is the expected behavior.

However, if the user used the scratch pad to bring some outside content once, then subsequent outside content may be brought in directly to the WikiBhasha edit area without the help of scratch pad, just by copy-paste or drag-drop directly (even with non-text content).

Repro steps:

  1. Invoke WikiBhasha on any article and wait until the translation completes.
  2. Bring some outside content to scratch pade. You can see only plain text in the scratch pad.
  3. Bring some outside content directly to the edit area (right side pane of steps ‘Collect’ and ‘Compose’). You can see the whole copied content in WikiBhasha.

Closing all tickets of WikiBasha, since it is not likely that this will ever be developed any further.
