Current configuration on the wiki

Importing revisions in MediaWiki has long been weird: if the username on the imported revision exists locally it's automatically attributed to the local user, while if the name does not exist locally we wind up with revision table rows with rev_user = 0 and rev_user_text being a valid name that someone might later create. "Global" blocks too create rows with ipb_by = 0 an ipb_by_text being a valid name. The upcoming actor table change, as things currently stand, would regularize that a bit by automatically attributing those imported revisions to the newly-created user. But that's not necessarily what we actually want to happen. And it would certainly confuse CentralAuth's attempt to detect its own global blocks. Thus, this patch introduces "interwiki" usernames that aren't valid for local use, of the format "iw>Example".[1] Linker will interpret these names and generate an appropriate interwiki link in history pages and the like, as if from wikitext like `[[iw:User:Example]]`. Imports for non-existant local users (and optionally for existing local users too) will credit the edit to such an interwiki name. There is also a new hook, 'ImportHandleUnknownUser', to allow extension such as CentralAuth to create local users as their edits are imported. Block will no longer accept usable-but-nonexistent names for 'byText' or ->setBlocker(). CentralAuth's global blocks will be submitted with an interwiki username (see Ieae5d24f9). Wikis that have imported edits or CentralAuth global blocks should run the new maintenance/cleanupUsersWithNoId.php maintenance script. This isn't done by update.php because (1) it needs an interwiki prefix to use and (2) the updater can't know whether to pass the `--assign` flag. [1]: '>' was used instead of the more usual ':' because WMF wikis have many existing usernames containing colons.

== MediaWiki == MediaWiki is a free and open-source wiki software package written in PHP. It serves as the platform for Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, used by hundreds of millions of people each month. MediaWiki is localised in over 350 languages and its reliability and robust feature set have earned it a large and vibrant community of third-party users and developers. MediaWiki is: * feature-rich and extensible, both on-wiki and with hundreds of extensions; * scalable and suitable for both small and large sites; * simple to install, working on most hardware/software combinations; and * available in your language. For system requirements, installation, and upgrade details, see the files RELEASE-NOTES, INSTALL, and UPGRADE. * Ready to get started? ** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Download * Looking for the technical manual? ** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Contents * Seeking help from a person? ** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Communication * Looking to file a bug report or a feature request? ** https://bugs.mediawiki.org/ * Interested in helping out? ** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/How_to_contribute MediaWiki is the result of global collaboration and cooperation.
