* When not $wgUseLatin1, saved revisions are now marked with 'utf-8' in old_flags
* When $wgLegacyEncoding is set, an old row without 'utf-8' in old_flags is converted from $wgLegacyCharset to $wgInputEncoding at load time (after gzip decompression if applicable). Thus the old_text fields will not need to be modified when the wiki is converted; this will mainly be useful after the SCHEMA_WORK changes are made so that the other fields in the old table are discarded (they will need to be separately converted anyway)
This will require downtiime on upgrade, so we're not going to do it until we have a better idea of the cost and can make all necessary changes at once to minimize it.
Does not look up the next old revision for every change but links to pseudo-revision 'prev'.
DifferenceEngine looks up the previous revision if user requests a specific diff.
Replaces the ugly, often breaking, manually archived log pages with
a nice clean table which can be sorted, trimmed, viewed in pieces, etc.
You can see all logged actions by some user, or affecting some page,
and can combine the views of all all logs in one.
There are probably still some broken things in here, but I want this
committed before the patch gets any bigger.
recentchanges table is altered to make rc_namespace signed so Special:
links can be listed in it.
* Code style consistency
* Use $wgRequest (comments now correctly encoded for eo)
* When disabled, show 'nosuchaction' and 'nosuchspecialpage' errors if triggered
consistently everywhere to ensure that setting it to 0 actually does disable the
feature. Also, tell the user that it is disabled if they happen to follow a link
with &action=markpatrolled in it. Additionally, make &action=markpatrolled say
"log in required" if the user is not logged in.
Special:Recentchanges and Special:Newpages until someone "marks" them as
"patrolled" using a special link. For new pages, this link appears at the bottom
of the article if the link in Recent Changes or New Pages is followed. For all
other edits, this link appears only in the diff and only if the diff link is
followed from Recent Changes. (Might need to add this functionality to Watchlist
too; haven't done that yet.)
