Re: Compatibility tables are now live!

Hello Amelia, Renoir and all,

* We should still have a top-level check box to suppress printing the

I just created a new property to store this information, if this option is
checked then the fields in the form will be displayed, otherwise, no
Compatibility Section will be displayed in the page.

http://docs.webplatform.org/test/Property:Has_compatibility_table

Just got that issue. I assigned alternative values if a page has some blank
values, if they are filled the actual value will be used:

{{#tag:compatibility || feature={{{Compatibility feature |
{{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}} || -1}} }}} | topic={{{Compatibility topic |
{{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}} | 1}} }}} | format={{{Compatibility format |
table }}} }}

But I was not able to get ride of the "None" option in the form when the
"Compatibility format" property still is empty.

* The auto-complete doesn't seem to be working for feature, so it's not

Renoir will implement this function soon.

I'm not so good writing clearly labels, can someone give me some help?

If someone catch other issues, or think that something needs to be
improved, just let me know.

Amelia, are the problems solved now, or do you think we should improve
something else? Thanks for pointing out!
Renoir, thanks for the help!
