Now formatted in the autogenerated documentation
Format for paraminfo adds a description attribute to output
query allimages descriptions are tranformed, need to do/add to other ones
* Create the WikiPage object directly in execute() and pass it to both delete() and deleteFile()
* Reordered parameters of delete() and deleteFile() to be consistent and take both on the WikiPage and User objects (instead of relying on $wgUser); no callers outside of this class
* Fixed deleteFile() to match the behaviour of FileDeleteForm with oldimage parameter
* Pass the User object to getPermissionsError()
* Factorised duplicated code
* Added missing error code to ApiBase (and also a new one)
* Added missing possible error codes (with a new one too)
* Make tests work again
* Added ApiTestCase::doApiRequest() and related to pass it to the context and removed override of $wgUser where possible
* Fix ApiLogin to get the correct User object (i.e. the logged in one)
* Fix ApiBase to feed a RequestContext to setContext() so that ApiLogin can call setUser()
Start of this bug, fleshed out base code implemented, plus a few key modules (will finish rest up soon)
Tweaked/improved/updated some documentation as I went through also
* (bug 27655) Require token for watching/unwatching pages
* Previously done for API (bug 29070) in r88522
* As with markpatrolled, the tokens are not compatible and made that way on purpose. The API requires the POST method and uses a universal token per-session. Since the front-end is all GET based (also per convention like in markpatrolled and rollback) they are stronger salted (title / action specific)
* ajax.watch used the API already and was switched in r88554.
* The actual watching/unwatching code was moved from WatchAction->onView to WatchAction::doWatch. This was done to allow the API to do the action without needing to generate a token like the front-end needs (or having to duplicate code). It is now similar to RecentChange::markPatrolled (in that it also a "central" function that does not care about tokens, it's called after the token-handling)
* JavaScript / Gadgets that utilize action=watch in their scripts:
** Effects should be minimal as they should be using the API (see r88522 and wikitech-l)
** If they use index.php and scrap the link from the page, they can continue to do so.
* There are links to the watch action all over the place. I've tried to catch most of them, but there may be some I miss. Migration in most cases is just a matter of adding an array item to the $query for:
'token' => WatchAction::getWatchToken( $title, $user [, $action] )
or changing:
Action::factory( 'watch', $article )->execute();
to:
WatchAction::doWatch( $title, $user );
While replacing the usages in some cases an instance of Article() no longer had to be created, in others $wgUser had to be retrieved from global (which was implied before but needs to be given directly now)
Other notes:
* Article->unwatch() and Article->watch(), which were deprecated as of 1.18 and are no longer used in core, may be broken in scenarios where the Request does not have a 'token' but is making a call to $article->watch()
* Some extensions need to be fixed, I'm currently running a grep search and will fix them a.s.a.p
[1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader/Default_modules?mw.user#tokens
* Replaced wfProfileClose() and wfGetProfilingOutput() by direct calls to the Profiler instance and removed them, no uses in extensions
* Also removed useless params from Profiler::getOutput() call in wfLogProfilingData()
* Only generate profiling output if it'll be used; introduced Profiler::logData() that saves profiling data (database, udp, ...) to separate it from output generation
* Removed unused Profiler::getCaller(), not used at all, and we have wfGetCaller() that does the same thing
* Actions come in two flavours: the show-a-form-then-do-something-with-the-result (delete, protect, edit, etc) and the just-do-something (watch, rollback, patrol, etc). Create abstract base classes Action and FormlessAction to support these two cases. HTMLForm is an integral part of the form-based structure.
* Look mum, no globals! :D Fully context-based.
* Implement watch/unwatch, credits and delete actions in the new system as proof-of-concept. This also gives the delete frontend a much-needed overhaul.
* Stub out the newly-deprecated functions from Article.php. This already reduces its linecount by about 15%, and there are plenty more actions still to do.
* Centralising actions like this is going to render a lot of hooks type-incompatible. There's simply nowhere you can put the ArticleConfirmDelete hook, for instance, where it can be passed an OutputPage as the second parameter. On the other hand, we can implement new hooks like ActionModifyFormFields and ActionBeforeFormDisplay, which can do much prettier stuff to the forms, like adding extra fields the 'right' way. Update LiquidThreads to use these new hooks where appropriate.
