WONTFIX:
* (bug 30245) Use the correct way to construct a log page title.
This was previously reverted for 1.19 and now reverting again for
1.20, only this time proposing it not to be temporary.
Right now this is already live on 2 wikis and as soon as it goes
live on a non-English wiki (since English namespace name for Log
matches the canonical name "Log", and as such causes no breakage yet
for bots using the IRC feed), as soon as it goes live on a
non-English wiki it will all log actions that bots are monitoring
using the irc feed.
(because no matter which log action is monitored, it all goes
back to detecting the page title of Special:Log)
If properly announced ahead of time it could be done, but we don't
have that time anymore. Perhaps re-try in 1.21 or 1.22, but as far
as I'm concerned, this bug can be kept WONTFIX as it only affects
the IRC feed. And it's not worth the loss that will undoubtedly
result from breaking this.
Theoretically a certain amount of time for the announcement could be
required, and if the change enables something or fixes a security
problem, it could be justified, but for this it is just not worth
it.
The human-readable output from the API and on Special:Log are fully
localized and even better so with the rewrite that Niklas did last
year. The IRC feed however, has little to no gain from this and only
causes breakages for the the large amount of bot usage from it, of
which many are no longer maintained and as such will not be fixed,
no matter how much time it is given. Granted those will probably
break no matter what at some point, but hopefully we will have
push notification *with* structured data[2] by that time to
encourage rewrites of those bots.

deleteDefaultMessages.php was failing during upgrade
from MediaWiki 1.7.3 with a databaser error.
A stub user:
$user = User::newFromName( 'MediaWiki default' );
has user ID 0, so that $user->isAnon() is true.
Unfortunately, ManualLogEntry::publish() from r96441
tries to insert $user->getName() ("MediaWiki default")
into rc_ip.
PostgreSQL won't allow this, because rc_ip is of
Postgres-specific CIDR type.
Traceback:

I didn't think that save() would send lines, since there was function to do that (added in r45725 - duplicating existing code).
This part of codebase could use much TLC
* Introduce $wgCanonicalServer, which should typically be a fully qualified version of $wgServer but in practice can be anything that you'd like to be used in IRC/e-mail notifs
** Default value is $wgServer, expanded to http:// if protocol-relative
** This means you can easily set HTTPS as the 'default' protocol to use in IRC and e-mail notifs by setting $wgCanonicalServer to https://example.com
* Introduce Title::getCanonicalURL(). Similar to getInternalURL(), including a hook for WMF usage (which will be needed as long as secure.wikimedia.org is used)
** Also add escapeCanonicalURL(). Due to some ridiculous accident of history, the other escapeFooURL() functions don't have a $variant parameter; I decided not to follow that bad example
* Reinstate the spirit of r44406 and r44412: instead of calling getInternalURL() (or getCanonicalURL()) and regexing the title parameter out, obtain the path to index.php using $wgCanonicalServer . $wgScript and append params to that. Sadly, we need to add a hook here to support the secure server hack for WMF, but that's the price of saner code in this case
* Introduce the {{canonicalurl:}} and {{canonicalurle:}} parser functions, which work just like {{fullurl:}} and {{fullurle:}} except that they use getCanonicalURL() instead of getFullURL()
* Use {{canonicalurl:}} in the enotif_body message, fixing bug 29993 (protocol-relative URLs appear in e-mail notifications)
We should really, really break the connection between internal URLs used for Squid purges and URLs used for IRC, and use the latter in e-mails as well. This was briefly discussed in the CR comments on r44412 and I'll be working on that today.
* Don't set $IP. The entry point already sets it, so there's no point. Users can still set it if they can figure out a way to do it without breaking things.
* Don't include DefaultSettings.php. Doing that is code, not configuration, and it can easily be done in WebStart/Maintenance. Some non-standard entry points in extensions may be broken by this. That's their fault for being non-standard. Backwards compatibility is preserved thanks to require_once().
* Introduce $wgInvalidateCacheOnLocalSettingsChange, which when set, causes $wgCacheEpoch to be updated in the way that it previously was in the default LocalSettings.php.
* Don't set $wgLocalInterwiki to some nonsense value (possibly including spaces and punctuation in the new installer). It should be only for actual interwiki prefixes. Since most wikis don't have them, I set this to false by default and adjusted the referring code to accept this.
* Removed the guard for web invocation with $wgCommandLineMode set. This ancient code is redundant with modern protections in doMaintenance.php.
* In DefaultSettings.php, fixed fold terminator placement near $wgLoadScript
* Add a web entry point guard. That's one piece of code which really is necessary.
Updated all nextSequenceValue calls with new sequence names.
OverlordQ stated he'll handle changes to Postgres scripts.
Need someone to change DB2 scripts.
