Description

There was discussion in #41057 about including the WordPress-Docs standard in the core PHPCS configuration, but it was decided against because of the high number of errors and because of the low number of these that can be automatically fixed.

Let's take another look and re-assess whether we can work toward introducing this standard into core's linting.

@johnbillion I applaud the effort, thanks for taking this initiative.

I'd like to suggest holding off on adding the ruleset to the .phpcs.xml.dist file at the moment.

The current WordPress-Docs standard is far from complete, nor completely accurate and quite some work is needed to actually properly check the docs against the documentation standards as outlined in the handbook.

Once the currently ongoing work for WPCS 3.0.0 is finished, improving the docs sniffs, or rather, writing new sniffs to allow us to check the docs properly is on the agenda, though it still be a while before I get to this.

In the mean time, fixes to the existing docs, like the ones above, are of course encouraged, awesome and very welcome.

  • Keywords ongoing added
  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to Future Release

Yeah I realised quite quickly that the WordPress-Docs ruleset isn't as mature or feature complete as the main ruleset, but it helps get us started with low hanging fruit at least.

I'll keep working on this in core while using the pull request to track outstanding issues. This will probably be a slow-burner.

  • Milestone Future Release deleted
  • Resolution set to maybelater
  • Status changed from new to closed

I'm going to close this off as the sniff isn't really mature enough at the moment. We can take another look at this in the future.
