* Moving common special page handling to SpecialPage.php
* Special page lists in the language classes are obsolete, replaced by the list in SpecialPage.php
* Special:Specialpages uses the standard page titles wfMsg(pagename) instead of the description list previously contained in the $wgSpecialPagesEn arrays
* Ability to add custom messages to the MessageCache. Overridable by the MediaWiki namespace.
* Moving board vote functionality from includes/SpecialBoardvote.php to extensions/BoardVote.php
Also, urlencode anchor names for non-ascii compatibility. This is the
recommendation of HTML 4.01 standard in B.2.1, as far as I can tell.
Works in UTF-8 at least for IE6/win, Firefox, Safari.
If these features are turned on (with global flags), a metadata link tag is
provided to the appropriate action ('dublincore' or 'creativecommons'). When
the wiki script receives these actions, it creates RDF files on the fly.
Also includes two valuable general functions: one to show an HTTP error
(used when the flags are turned off), and one to do content negotiation
(used to determine the MIME type for RDF files).
A helper function is also added to page output to display metadata links.
* Split MediaWiki namespace into MediaWiki and Template (requires changes to all language files)
* Purge links to on edit of Template namespace
* General refactoring of purging and cache invalidation code
object to encapsulate the handling of get/post variables:
The following grab something out of $_REQUEST. The first parameter is the
variable name and is required. The second is an optional default value:
$wgRequest->getVal() - any type, returns NULL if no default given
$wgRequest->getInt() - forced integer, 0 default
$wgRequest->getText() - runs through $wgLang->recodeInput()
$wgRequest->getBool() - return true/false
$wgRequest->getCheck() - returns true if the var is set, even if to ""
$wgRequest strips slashes at initialization if necessary.
Also in this fine object:
$wgRequest->wasPosted() - returns false if this wasn't a real form post,
so we can protect against faked submissions in get urls.
There's still plenty of work to do, not everything uses the new functions
yet. To test the strict mode, do define('DEBUG_GLOBALS', 1);
practical, clear methods:
Title::getLocalURL() - "/wiki/index.php/Foobar" or "/wiki/index.php?title=Foobar&action=edit"
Title::getFullUrl() - ditto with $wgServer on the front
Title::getInternalUrl() - ditto with $wgInternalServer on the front (for some squid-related functions)
Title::escapeLocalUrl() - local URL escaped for HTML output
Title::escapeFullUrl() - full URL escaped for HTML output
All take an optional query parameter.
Title::getURL(), wfFullUrl() and wfFullUrlE() are now officially
deprecated and will result in instant death. wfLocalUrl() and wfLocalUrlE()
will be killed shortly; they are still used in the language files.
* Converted many instances of globals from the query to $_REQUEST
* Renamed near-useless Title::getURL() to Title::getPartialURL()
* Created new Title::getURL(), to replace wfLocalUrl, wfLocalUrlE, wfFullUrl and wfFullUrlE. Replaced most instances throughout the code
* In Parser.php, generalised stripping of <nowiki>, <pre> and <math> to allow more general use such as nesting
* Moved body of Article::preSaveTransform to Parser.php
* Put lots of comments in Title.php
execution starts and ends in wiki.phtml, giving the code a somewhat
more predictable flow.
OutputPage.php:
* Added disable() method to Output class.
* Replaced exit() call in checkLastModified() with "return true" (thereby
altering its contract quite severly).
* reportTime() now only returns elapsed time, code with side effects
moved to logProfilingData() in GlobalFunctions.php.
GlobalFunctions.php:
* Added function logProfilingData() which does most of what
OutputPage->reportTime() used to do.
Article.php:
* Replaced exit() in checkLastModified() with "return true" (thereby altering
its contract quite severly).
* replaced implicit exit in calls to checkLastModified() and tryFileCache()
with returns.
LogPage.php:
* replaced implicit exit() with return in call to checkLastModified()
SpecialRecentchanges.php:
* replaced implicit exit() with return in call to checkLastModified()
wiki.phtml:
* Single call to logProfilingData() at the end of the request.
