   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.

   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

   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 public-webplatform@w3.org about the issue, it might have us trigger a task force to extract other valid compat data.

   Thank you very much for your help.
