options. Not yet ready for production use; Special:Revisiondelete is
incomplete, and the flags are not preserved across page deletion/undeletion.
To try it; add the 'deleterevision' permission to a privileged group.
Also split some functions from GlobalFunctions to XmlFunctions.php, added
some convenience functions for building form controls, some more Linker
conveniences for formatting various types of standard link clusters.
* fix page history with table prefix
* fix paging on history
* switch 'earliest' and 'latest' link order to fix 'prev' and 'next'
* use null where appropriate
* switch some messages to plaintext or wikitext
Title::newFromURL into WebRequest itself. Should now work on all get params,
so essentially the full URL will be converted.
(The check is not done if the referer matches the canonical server, as before.)
Fixes problem with latin-1 typed URLs introduced by the stricter UTF-8
validation checks running before the conversion check.
One minor glitch; the canonical URL redirection no longer picks up on a
charset conversion. However it's broken anyway and doesn't pick up eg
non-canonical URLs using ?title= instead of / or other such things. Needs
to be improved...
is already in this form and it shouldn't take very long to verify it.
There is still optimization to be done though.
Partial fix for http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=240
Will also need to verify correct UTF-8 sequences and strip characters
that are illegal in XML.
Some input may not be going through this verification yet (eg the uploaded filenames)
Automatic or manual collapsing and expanding of long pages.
Pages can be collapsed automatically according to a size threshold
set in the user preferences. Pages can be collapsed manually by clicking
the "Collapse" link in the TOC.
When a page is collapsed, only the intro & TOC are displayed. The
individual TOC lines link to section views, which can be individually edited
(classic section editing).
Section editing/viewing behavior has also been improved. When a section
with subsections is viewed or edited, all subsections are also loaded.
Known issues:
- After saving a section, we return to the full article view
rather than the section view, even if we previously were in section view
mode.
- Should work with Standard and Monobook, not tested with Cologne Blue yet.
- In Monobook, no backlink to the mother article is shown during section
viewing (Gabriel, can you fix that?)
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);
