* Move to SpecialBlock.php, and rename class appropriately
* Complete refactor
* Use HTMLForm in block form. This changes most of the ids and field names on the form, but allows proper validation, nicer formatting, clears up several fixmes, and is generally Better(TM).
* Spin various parts out into static functions, several of which properly belong in the backend (but Block.php is a worse mess still)
* Invert some of the block options so that every checkbox makes the block more severe (so "check to disable email" is fine, but "check to allow usertalk edit" (default true) is inverted to "check to disable usertalk edit" (default false).
* revert r40359 (move doMassUserBlock() to core). No one seems to be using this function, which has nothing to do with the frontend UI in SpecialBlock (it might perhaps belong in Block.php); it is pretty bespoke for CheckUser, doesn't seem to have very much utility elsewhere.
current timestamp. This caused Block::__construct to put all sort of
messages in the debug log about invalid timestamp. So change Block to use
timestamp of 0 instead of '' if unspecified.
Updated all nextSequenceValue calls with new sequence names.
OverlordQ stated he'll handle changes to Postgres scripts.
Need someone to change DB2 scripts.
* All manually built LIKE queries in the core are replaced with a wrapper function Database::buildLike()
* This function automatically performs all escaping, so Database::escapeLike() is now almost never used
* Adds database field to ipblocks table, ipb_allow_usertalk, storing whether or not the user can edit their own talk page. Defaults to 0 to coincide with the default value of $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit.
* Recommended to update all current blocks to have a allow_usertalk value of whatever the current setting is
* Retasks $wgBlockAllowsUTEdit to be the default value of the field in the blocking screen - unless a sysop changes the checkbox, will use whatever that variable is set to.
* Fix K&R style braces, since demon started, we may as well finish. This was one of the last files I wrote before I was converted to Brion-style braces.
* Renamed a variable
* Improve docs (formatExpiry() is fine, abstracting wouldn't do anything, as it would just become a wrapper for $wgLang->timeanddate())
* Abstract out some param validation from insert()
* Add an update() method to make modification of existing blocks a bit nicer.
* Cache the autoblock whitelist in $wgMemc
* Remove old commented out code from when 'infinity' wasn't really 'infinity' but just really far in the future
In particular:
Xml.php
* Add textarea method to Xml class.
* Make submit button optional for Xml::buildForm
* Right-align labels in buildForm.
Article.php:
* Make ArticleDelete hook display a real error
EditPage.php:
* Split off getBaseRevision()
Title.php:
* Allow errors to be ignored to be sent to getUserPermissionsErrors.
* Allow AbortMove hook to display a real error.
Block.php:
* Add 'mAngryAutoblock' option, for blocks by software, which does retroactive autoblocks on the last 5 IPs used in the last 7 days.
* Instead of saying 'do that' in a permissions error, actually list what the action is (drawn from the right-$1 messages). This isn't perfect - it says you don't have permission to edit pages when
you can't edit a single page, but it's better than 'do that'.
* Refactor out some code from various block files into Block::formatExpiry and Block::parseExpiryInput.
* Don't display 'you cannot edit special pages' when you're trying to execute, or create an account, or something like that.
* New AbortAutoblock hook (for use in TorBlock extension), which allows extensions to cancel autoblocks.
Doxygen documentation update:
* Changed alls @addtogroup to @ingroup. @addtogroup adds the comment to the group description, but doesn't add the file, class, function, ... to the group like @ingroup does. See for example http://svn.wikimedia.org/doc/group__SpecialPage.html where it's impossible to see related files, classes, ... that should belong to that group.
* Added @file to file description, it seems that it should be explicitely decalred for file descriptions, otherwise doxygen will think that the comment document the first class, variabled, function, ... that is in that file.
* Removed some empty comments
* Removed some ?>
Added following groups:
* ExternalStorage
* JobQueue
* MaintenanceLanguage
One more thing: there are still a lot of warnings when generating the doc.
