* Used the new functions in the relevant places throughout the core. Where this was not possible, used wfMsgNoTrans() to avoid double-parsing.
* Calling wfEscapeWikiText() on a title before passing it to a message is unnecessary and causes bugs. The best idea is to let the message do its own escaping. Removed wfEscapeWikiText() from the caller of addedwatchtext, removedwatchtext, deletedtext, protect-text, nosuchusershort and movepage-moved. Updated all message files to use <nowiki>$1</nowiki> where appropriate in these messages.
* Removed unnecessary empty message handling from semiprotectedpagewarning
* Removed nonsense warning about the output of wfMsg() not being safe for inclusion in HTML.
* Changed wfShellExec() to use passthru/ob_get_contents instead of exec(). This avoids corruption of whitespace in the response.
* Added $wgValidateAllHtml feature, to optionally validate HTML on output.
* Fixed missing newline in cascadeprotected in MessagesEn.php
* Belatedly updated addedwatchtext to take account of the new "monobook" skin. No unwatch link in the sidebar anymore.
* @link. You might think @link would surely mean "here comes a web URL" ... but @link is a valid command
in Doxygen, which means an entirely different kind of link (an internal link to somewhere, so that you can separate
documentation and implementation). The result is a mess, and the best solution I can see is to use "@see" instead of "@link".
* Warning: argument `nourl' of command @param is not found in the argument list of Linker::makeMediaLinkObj($title,$text='')
* Moving few class descriptions to right above classes, and/or formatting into Javadoc style.
* "@addtogroup Special Pages" --> "@addtogroup SpecialPage" so that all special pages have the same @addtogroup tag.
* @fixme --> @todo (must have missed these before)
* "@param $specialPage @see" remove the "@" in the "@see" to stop warning.
* @throws wants type, then a brief description, to stop warning.
This last one is for PHPdocumentor only, but it fixes something for PHPDocumentor, and should be neutral for Doxygen:
* WARNING in includes/api/ApiFormatYaml_spyc.php on line 860: docblock template never terminated with /**#@-*/
* stop minor tidy warning: "<input> attribute 'size' lacks value", by setting size to 20 (which allows enough visual field width for 10 ISBN digits + some leeway for extra dashes and spaces and whatnot).
* DB_WRITE now called DB_MASTER, DB_READ now called DB_SLAVE
* Converted to use SQL wrapper functions instead of direct SQL in various places
* Experimental method for preserving the chronological order of events when slave servers are used. Untested.
* Fixes to the new post-parse existence test feature
* Some.. other stuff
