* (bug 26033, bug 24754) Added $wgArticleCountMethod to have a more flexible way to define which method to use to define if a page is an article or not and deprecated $wgUseCommaCount. There is now a new 'any' method to count any article that is in a content namespace and not a redirect.
* (bug 11868) If using links to count articles, Article::isCountable() will now use the ParserOutput to check if there's a link instead of checking for the "[[" string. Changed Article::isCountable() to take a stdObject or false for the first parameters. If false is passed, the result will be based on the current article's state (i.e. database). The only call outside of the Article class is in DeleteAction (including extensions).
* Removed this horror of Article::$mGoodAdjustment and Article::$mTotalAdjustment, replaced by the new $created parameter on Article::editUpdates(); simplified Article::createUpdates()
* Updated Import.php to take advantage of the new parameter and make a single call to Article::editUpdates()
* I thought a while for a way to somehow get that global variable from php to the start of the main mediaWiki object creation. Considered using a (temporary) global variable and deleting afterwards, but that looked like a hack and wasn't sure about the cross-browser functioning of it. Instead ended up by moving it to the startUp module where other global variables are accessed as well. This seems to work pretty good.
* Can be toggled from LocalSettings by setting $wgLegacyJavaScriptGlobals.
* Changed some usages of mediaWiki to use the global mw alias instead.
* Refactor with all the latest bells and whistles
* Allow wikis to enable resettting by entering an email address (bug 13015). This is currently an unindexed query, but it is disabled by default so no immediate problem.
* Allow resetting to be disabled entirely (bug 20473).
* Don't send registered users' IP addresses in the emails (bug 18347)
* Check that a user is not globally blocked before letting them send messages (bug 23669)
* Display a more useful error message when an account exists globally but not locally (bug 18996).
Hope I did this in an ok fashion. svn merge --re-integrate was giving me issues
so I just essentially over-wrote my working copy with the version at img_metadata.
Per CR at the time: this creates a nearly irreversable action that is not nearly well documented enough (even if disabled by default).
We already have the $wgBlockDisablesLogin kludge in place for this. If we're going to do more work on this idea, it should be well thought out, not another hack.
* 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.
* (bug 14202) $wgUseTeX has been superseded by the Math extension. To re-enable
math conversion after upgrading, obtain the Math extension from SVN or from
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math and add to LocalSettings.php:
require_once "$IP/extensions/Math/Math.php";
This is an initial stab, and a few things remain to be cleaned up:
* messages need to be moved from core to extension
* MW_MATH_* constants should be moved to the extension from core
* old back-compat math names interfaces using those constants should be removed from message files
* classic edit toolbar's math button should be added from the extension (or else dropped) -- currently there's not a clean hook, but could do it by JS
* couple of things like the 'armourMath' function on Language & LanguageConverter may want to be redone just as an unconditional, if that's simpler.
Setting $wgUseTeX alone will no longer have any affect. The var's still there for the moment as a few bits still need to be fully moved out from core.
* Work around HipHop issue 314 (volatile broken) and issue 308 (no compilation detection) by adding some large and ugly compilation detection code to WebStart.php and doMaintenance.php.
* Provide an MW_COMPILED constant which can be used to detect compiled mode throughout the codebase.
* Introduced wfIsHipHop(), which detects either compiled or interpreted mode. Used this to work around unusual eval() return value in eval.php.
* Work around lack of ini_get() in Maintenance.php, by duplicating wfIsHipHop().
* In Maintenance::shouldExecute(), accept "include" as an inclusion function name, since all kinds of inclusion give this string in HipHop.
* Introduced new class MWInit, which provides some static functions in the pre-autoloader environment.
* Introduced MWInit::compiledPath(), which provides a relative path for invoking a compiled file, and MWInit::interpretedPath(), which provides an absolute path for interpreting a PHP file. Used these new functions in the appropriate places.
* When we are running compiled code, don't include files which would generate duplicate class, function or constant definitions. Documented the new requirements on the contents of Defines.php and UtfNormalDefines.php.
* In HipHop compiled mode, it's not possible to have executable code in the same file as a class definition.
** Moved MimeMagic initialisation to the constructor.
** Moved Namespace.php global variable initialisation to Setup.php.
** Moved MemcachedSessions.php initialisation to the caller in GlobalFunctions.php.
** Moved Sanitizer.php constants and global variables to static class members. Introduced an accessor function for the attribs regex, as a new place to put code formerly at file level.
** Moved Language.php initialisation of $wgLanguageNames to Language::getLanguageNames(). Removed the global variable, marked "private" since forever.
* In two places: don't use error_log() with type=3 to append to a file, HipHop doesn't support it. Use file_put_contents() with FILE_APPEND instead.
* Work around the terrible breakage of class_exists() by using MWInit::classExists() instead in various places. In WebInstaller::getPageByName(), the class_exists() was marked with a fixme comment already, so I replaced it with an autoloader solution.
I don't know what the proper solution is (other than introducing user preferences, like bug 28369 suggests, is not the answer)...but the status quo of what we had is better than this half-assed solution that *nobody* likes.
This is to make google when indexing a page like http://mediawiki.org/wiki/w:Somewhere_on_pedia to report its target, not the
original url as the url of the page. This only affects urls where the (local) interwiki target is directly in the url.
Pages that contain #Redirect[[w:Somewhere_on_pedia]] will still use 302 (Temporary) redirects since such pages are by
no means permenantly redirected.
Also clarify docs on $wgDisableHardRedirects since the setting confused me.

The length of this message varries by localization, so the previous solution of telling truncate to truncate 5 bytes
less than needed is not good since this will be too little or too much.
Updated places where its used. Some places I left as is, as it looked like the new behaviour would work fine for them to.
(for example, the autosummary feature - it was cutting off at 200 bytes, which is no where near 250 limit, so I presume that
was for asethic reasons rather then to fit as much in before the db limit).
Will do another commit for extension callers in a moment.
* Move and rename to SpecialBlockList
* Use an HTMLForm in GET mode for the options form
* Use TablePager to organise the results more nicely
* Standardise the filtration for IPs and IP ranges, so looking at blocks for a range will now also show rangeblocks which contain the range
* General tidy up
On lighttpd 1.4.28, the SERVER_NAME CGI variable is truncated at the first
colon. This makes it return an incorrect value for SERVER_NAME when the user
make the request to an IPv6, it outputs something like [2001.
This patch make sure we have either both opening and closing brackets or no
brackets at all (hence the 'xor' boolean check).
