MediaWiki REL1_31
Todo List
Member $wgExtraNamespaces
Add a note about maintenance/namespaceDupes.php
Member $wgFooterIcons
Reformat documentation.
Member $wgHashedUploadDirectory
Deprecate the setting and ultimately remove it from Core.
Member $wgTextModelsToParse
On the long run, it would be nice to put categories etc into a separate structure, or at least parse only the contents of comments in the scripts.
Member ApiParseTest::setupSkin ()
Should this code be in MediaWikiTestCase or something?
Member ApiUpload::handleStashException ( $e)
Internationalize the exceptions then get rid of this
Class ApiUploadTest

Port the other Upload tests, and other API tests to this framework

Broken test, reports false errors from time to time. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T28169

This is pretty sucky... needs to be prettified.

Class ApiWatchTest
This test suite is severly broken and need a full review
Class Article
Move and rewrite code to an Action class
Member Article::$mContent
BC cruft
Member Article::confirmDelete ( $reason)
FIXME: Move to another file?
Member Article::fetchContentObject ()
When is this null?
Member Article::getRobotPolicy ( $action, $pOutput=null)
actions other than 'view'
Class AvroValidatorTest
Test methods in this call should be split into a method and a dataprovider.
Member BackupDumper::backupDb ()
Fixme: the –server parameter is currently not respected, as it doesn't seem terribly easy to ask the load balancer for a particular connection by name.
Member BaseBlacklist::getTypeFromTitle (Title $title)
building a regex for this is pretty overkill
Class BitmapMetadataHandler

Other image formats.

Member BitmapMetadataHandler::Tiff ( $filename)
Add XMP support, so this function actually makes sense to put here.
Member Block::getTargetAndType ()
FIXME: This should be an integral part of the Block member variables
Member CacheTime::isDifferentRevision ( $id)
We always return false if $this->getCacheRevisionId() is null; this prevents invalidating the whole parser cache when this change is deployed. Someday that should probably be changed.
Class Category
Move some stuff from CategoryPage.php to here, and use that.
Member CategoryFinder::seed ( $articleIds, $categories, $mode='AND', $maxdepth=-1)
FIXME: $categories/$mode
File cdb.php

document

Class ChangesListSpecialPage
Way too many public functions, most of them should be protected
Member ChangesListSpecialPage::getExtraOptions ( $opts)

This should handle options returned by getDefaultOptions().

Not called by anything in this class (but is in subclasses), should be called by something… doHeader() maybe?

Member ChangeTags::MAX_DELETE_USES
Use the job queue for tag deletion to avoid this restriction
Class ChangeTagsLogItem
Abstract out a base class for this and RevDelLogItem, similar to the RevisionItem class but specifically for log items.
Member Cite::DEFAULT_GROUP
document
Member Cite::MAX_STORAGE_LENGTH
Find a way to retrieve this information from the DBAL
Member Content::getTextForSearchIndex ()

Test that this actually works

Make sure this also works with LuceneSearch / WikiSearch

Member Content::getWikitextForTransclusion ()

Allow native handling, bypassing wikitext representation, like for includable special pages.

Allow transclusion into other content models than Wikitext!

Used in WikiPage and MessageCache to get message text. Not so nice. What should we use instead?!

Member ContentHandler::getAutoDeleteReason (Title $title, &$hasHistory)
&$hasHistory is extremely ugly, it's here because WikiPage::getAutoDeleteReason() and Article::generateReason() have it / want it.
Member ContentHandler::getFieldsForSearchIndex (SearchEngine $engine)
Expose title, redirect, namespace, text, source_text, text_bytes field mappings here. (see T142670 and T143409)
Member ContribsPager::formatRow ( $row)
This would probably look a lot nicer in a table.
Member Cookie::validateCookieDomain ( $domain, $originDomain=null)

fixme fails to detect 3-letter top-level domains

fixme fails to detect 2-letter top-level domains for single-domain use (probably not a big problem in practice, but there are test cases)

Member CoreTagHooks::gallery ( $content, $attributes, $parser)
break Parser::renderImageGallery out here too.
Member DatabaseInstaller::$parent
Naming this parent is confusing, 'installer' would be clearer.
Member DatabaseSqliteTest::testUpgrades ()
Currently only checks list of tables @coversNothing
Class DateFormatter

preferences, OutputPage

Member DBSiteStore::__construct (LoadBalancer $dbLoadBalancer)
: inject some kind of connection manager that is aware of the target wiki, instead of injecting a LoadBalancer.
Member DeletedContribsPager::formatRevisionRow ( $row)
This would probably look a lot nicer in a table.
Member DeletedContribsPager::formatRow ( $row)
This would probably look a lot nicer in a table.
File deleteOrphanedRevisions.php
More efficient cleanup of text records
Class Diff
document
Class DifferenceEngine

document

Member DifferenceEngine::generateTextDiffBody ( $otext, $ntext)
move this to TextDifferenceEngine, make DifferenceEngine abstract. At some point.
Class DifferenceEngineTest
tests for the rest of DifferenceEngine!
Class DiffFormatter

document

Member DummySerializeErrorContentHandler::supportsDirectApiEditing ()
Should this be in the parent class?
File dumpMessages.php
Make this more useful, right now just dumps $wgContLang
Member EditPage::internalAttemptSave (&$result, $bot=false)
FIXME: This interface is TERRIBLE, but hard to get rid of due to various error display idiosyncrasies. There are also lots of cases where error metadata is set in the object and retrieved later instead of being returned, e.g. AS_CONTENT_TOO_BIG and AS_BLOCKED_PAGE_FOR_USER. All that stuff needs to be cleaned up some time.
Member EnhancedChangesList::makeCacheGroupingKey (RCCacheEntry $cacheEntry)
use rc_source to group, if set; fallback to rc_type
Member EnhancedChangesListTest::testEndRecentChangesList ()
more tests for actual formatting, this is more of a smoke test
Member EnhancedChangesListTest::testRecentChangesLine ()
more tests
Class EraseArchivedFile
Maybe add some simple logging
Member Exif::__construct ( $file, $byteOrder='')
FIXME: The following are broke: SubjectArea. Need to test the more obscure tags. DigitalZoomRatio = 0/0 is rejected. need to determine if that's valid. Possibly should treat 0/0 = 0. need to read exif spec on that.
Member ExifBitmapHandler::getRotationForExif ( $data)
FIXME: Orientation can include flipping as well; see if this is an issue!
Member ExtensionProcessor::extractConfig1 (array $info)
In the future, this should be done via Config interfaces
Member ExtensionProcessor::extractConfig2 (array $info, $dir)
In the future, this should be done via Config interfaces
Class FormOptions
This badly needs some examples and tests :) The usage in SpecialRecentchanges class is a good ersatz in the meantime.
Class GadgetDefinitionValidator
maybe this should use a formal JSON schema validator or something
Member GIFHandler::getImageArea ( $image)
Add unit tests
Member HistoryPager::historyLine ( $row, $next, $notificationtimestamp=false, $latest=false, $firstInList=false)
document some more, and maybe clean up the code (some params redundant?)
Member Html::inlineScript ( $contents)
do some useful escaping as well, like if $contents contains literal "</script>" or (for XML) literal "]]>".
Class HTMLForm
Document 'section' / 'subsection' stuff
Member HTMLForm::displaySection ( $fields, $sectionName='', $fieldsetIDPrefix='', &$hasUserVisibleFields=false)
Document
Member HTMLForm::setMessagePrefix ( $p)
Currently only used for the "<fieldset>" legend on forms with multiple sections; should be used elsewhere?
Member HTMLForm::setSubmitID ( $t)
FIXME: Integrity of $t is not validated
Class HTMLSelectAndOtherField
FIXME: If made 'required', only the text field should be compulsory.
Member Http::isValidURI ( $uri)
FIXME this is wildly inaccurate and fails to actually check most stuff
Class HttpErrorTest
tests for HttpError::report
Class HttpStatus
document
File IEContentAnalyzer.php
Define the exact license of this file.
Class IEUrlExtensionTest
tests below for findIE6Extension should be split into... ...a dataprovider and test method.
Member ImagePage::makeMetadataTable ( $metadata)
FIXME: Bad interface, see note on MediaHandler::formatMetadata().
Member IPTC::timeHelper ( $date, $time, $charset)
Potentially this should also capture the timezone offset.
Class IPTest
Test methods in this call should be split into a method and a dataprovider.
Class JavaScriptContentHandler
Create a ScriptContentHandler base class, do highlighting stuff there?
Class JpegMetadataExtractorTest
Could use a test of extended XMP segments. Hard to find programs that create example files, and creating my own in vim probably wouldn't serve as a very good "test". (Adobe photoshop probably creates such files but it costs money). The implementation of it currently in MediaWiki is based solely on reading the standard, without any real world test files.
Class JpegPixelFormatTest
covers tags
Member Language::convertHtml ( $text, $isTitle=false)
this should get integrated somewhere sane
Member Language::formatNum ( $number, $nocommafy=false)
check if it's viable to use localeconv() for the decimal separator thing.
Member Language::sprintfDate ( $format, $ts, DateTimeZone $zone=null, &$ttl='unused')
handling of "o" format character for Iranian, Hebrew, Hijri & Thai?
Member Language::translateBlockExpiry ( $str, User $user=null, $now=0)
Maybe translate block durations. Note that this function is somewhat misnamed: it deals with translating the duration ("1 week", "4 days", etc), not the expiry time (which is an absolute timestamp). Please note: do NOT add this blindly, as it is used on old expiry lengths recorded in log entries. You'd need to provide the start date to match up with it.
Member LanguageAr::normalize ( $s)
FIXME: This is language-specific for now only to avoid the negative performance impact of enabling it for all languages.
Member LanguageArTest::testFormatNum ()
split into a test and a dataprovider
Class LanguageCode
Move some of the code-related static methods out of Language into this class
Member LanguageMl::normalize ( $s)
FIXME: This is language-specific for now only to avoid the negative performance impact of enabling it for all languages.
Member LanguageNlTest::testFormatNum ()
split into a test and a dataprovider
File LanguageSrTest.php
methods in test class should be tidied:
  • Should be split into separate test methods and data providers
  • Tests for LanguageConverter and Language should probably be separate..
File LanguageUzTest.php
methods in test class should be tidied:
  • Should be split into separate test methods and data providers
  • Tests for LanguageConverter and Language should probably be separate..
Member LanguageYue::segmentByWord ( $string)
FIXME: Only do this for Han characters...
Member LanguageZh_hans::segmentByWord ( $string)
FIXME: Only do this for Han characters...
Class Linker
turn this into a legacy interface for HtmlPageLinkRenderer and similar services.
Member Linker::formatLinksInComment ( $comment, $title=null, $local=false, $wikiId=null)
FIXME: Doesn't handle sub-links as in image thumb texts like the main parser
Member Linker::makeMediaLinkFile (Title $title, $file, $html='')
Handle invalid or missing images better.
Class LinkFilter
implement the filter. Currently these are just some functions to help maintenance/cleanupSpam.php remove links to a single specified domain. The next thing is to implement functions for checking a given page against a big list of domains.
Member LinkSearchPage::getMaxResults ()
FIXME This special page should not use LIMIT for paging
Class LocalFileTest
Split tests into providers and test methods
Class LocalisationUpdate\GitHubFetcher
Could use file hashes to 1) avoid fetching files with same hash as the source. 2) avoid fetching files which haven't changed since last check if we store them.
Member LogPage::getTitleLink ( $type, $lang, $title, &$params)
Document
File mcc.php

document

Member MediaHandler::formatMetadata ( $image, $context=false)
FIXME: This interface is not very flexible. The media handler should generate HTML instead. It can do all the formatting according to some standard. That makes it possible to do things like visual indication of grouped and chained streams in ogg container files.
Member MediaWiki\Linker\LinkRenderer::normalizeTarget (LinkTarget $target)
move the code from Linker actually here
Member MediaWiki\OutputHandler::findUriExtension ()
As of 2018, this actually runs after autoloader in Setup.php, so WebRequest seems like a good place for this.
Member MediaWiki\Preferences\DefaultPreferencesFactory::profilePreferences (User $user, IContextSource $context, &$defaultPreferences, $canIPUseHTTPS)
Inject user Language instead of using context.
Member MediaWiki\Session\PHPSessionHandler::returnSuccess ()
When we drop support for Zend PHP 5, this can be removed.
Member MediaWiki\Storage\RevisionStore::__construct (LoadBalancer $loadBalancer, SqlBlobStore $blobStore, WANObjectCache $cache, CommentStore $commentStore, ActorMigration $actorMigration, $wikiId=false)
$blobStore should be allowed to be any BlobStore!
Member MediaWiki\Storage\RevisionStore::getRcIdIfUnpatrolled (RevisionRecord $rev)
This is overly specific, so move or kill this method.
Member MediaWiki\Storage\RevisionStore::getRecentChange (RevisionRecord $rev, $flags=0)
move this somewhere else?
Member MediaWiki\Storage\RevisionStore::loadRevisionFromId (IDatabase $db, $id)
remove when unused! there seem to be no callers of Revision::loadFromId
Member MediaWiki\Storage\RevisionStore::loadRevisionFromPageId (IDatabase $db, $pageid, $id=0)
remove when unused!
Member MediaWiki\Storage\RevisionStore::loadRevisionFromTimestamp (IDatabase $db, $title, $timestamp)
remove when unused!
Member MediaWiki\Storage\RevisionStore::loadRevisionFromTitle (IDatabase $db, $title, $id=0)
remove when unused!
Member MediaWiki\Storage\RevisionStore::newNullRevision (IDatabase $dbw, Title $title, CommentStoreComment $comment, $minor, User $user)
Introduce newFromParentRevision(). newNullRevision can then be based on that (or go away).
Member MediaWiki\Storage\SqlBlobStore::compressData (&$blob)
make this private, there should be no need to use this method outside this class.
Member MediaWiki\Storage\SqlBlobStore::decompressData ( $blob, array $blobFlags)
make this private, there should be no need to use this method outside this class.
Member MediaWiki\Storage\SqlBlobStore::expandBlob ( $raw, $flags, $cacheKey=null)
make this private, there should be no need to use this method outside this class.
Member MediaWikiTitleCodec::splitTitleString ( $text, $defaultNamespace=NS_MAIN)

This method should be split up and an appropriate interface defined for use by the Title class.

this method is only exposed as a temporary measure to ease refactoring. It was copied with minimal changes from Title::secureAndSplit().

Member MergeHistory::merge (User $user, $reason='')
if all versions of page A are moved to B and then a user tries to do a reverse-merge via the "unmerge" log link, then page A will still be a redirect (as it was after the original merge), though it will have the old revisions back from before (as expected). The user may have to "undo" the redirect manually to finish the "unmerge". Maybe this should delete redirects at the source page of merges?
Class Message
  • test, can we have tests?
  • this documentation needs to be extended
Member Message::isBlank ()
FIXME: Merge with isDisabled()?
Member MovePage::moveToInternal (User $user, &$nt, $reason='', $createRedirect=true, array $changeTags=[])
This was basically directly moved from Title, it should be split into smaller functions
File mwdocgen.php
document
Member MWHttpRequest::setData ( $args)
overload the args param
Member MWLBFactory::getLBFactoryClass (array $config)
instead of this, use a ServiceContainer for managing the different implementations.
Member MWNamespaceTest::testIsCapitalizedWithWgCapitalLinkOverrides ()
split groups of assertions in autonomous testing functions MWNamespace::isCapitalized
Member MWNamespaceTest::testIsMovable ()
Write more texts, handle $wgAllowImageMoving setting MWNamespace::isMovable
Class OldChangesListTest
add tests to cover article link, timestamp, character difference, log entry, user tool links, direction marks, tags, rollback, watching users, and date header.
Member Orphans::checkWidows ( $fix)
DON'T USE THIS YET! It will remove entries which have children, but which aren't properly attached (eg if page_latest is bogus but valid revisions do exist)
Class OutputPage

FIXME: Another class handles sending the whole page to the client.

document

Member OutputPage::$mScripts
We should split JS / CSS. mScripts content is inserted as is in "<head>" by Skin. This might contain either a link to a stylesheet or inline CSS.
Member OutputPage::disallowUserJs ()
this should be given a more accurate name
Class OutputPageTest
factor tests in this class into providers and test methods
Member PageArchive::listFiles ()
Does this belong in Image for fuller encapsulation?
Member Parser::setTransparentTagHook ( $tag, callable $callback)
better document or deprecate this
Class ParserCache
document
Member ParserOptions::$mUser
Track this for caching somehow without fragmenting the cache insanely
Member ParserOptions::$redirectTarget
Track this for caching somehow
Member ParserOutput::addTrackingCategory ( $msg, $title)
Migrate some code to TrackingCategories
File ParserTestRunner.php

Make this more independent of the configuration (and if possible the database)

Member ParserTestRunner::parseOptions ( $instring)
Move this to TestFileReader
Member ParserTestRunner::setupDatabase ( $nextTeardown=null)
: This is basically an unrefactored copy of MediaWikiTestCase::setupAllTestDBs. They should be factored out somehow.
Member ParserTestRunner::teardownDatabase ()
Move most things here to CloneDatabase
Member PostgresUpdater::getCoreUpdateList ()
FIXME: Postgres should use sequential updates like Mysql, Sqlite and everybody else. It never got refactored like it should've.
Class Preprocessor_Hash
: Consider replacing descriptor arrays with objects of a new class. Benchmark and measure resulting memory impact.
Member PurgeChangedPages::pageableSortedRows (ResultWrapper $res, $column, $limit)
move this elsewhere
File rebuildrecentchanges.php
Document
File rebuildtextindex.php
document
Class RecentChange
Deprecate access to mAttribs (direct or via getAttributes). Right now we're having to include both rc_comment and rc_comment_text/rc_comment_data so random crap works right.
Member Revision::getContentFormat ()
: drop this, the format is irrelevant to the revision!
Member Revision::getContentModel ()
: drop this, with MCR, there no longer is a single model associated with a revision.
Member RevisionItem::getDiffLink ()
Essentially a copy of RevDelRevisionItem::getDiffLink. That class should inherit from this one, and implement an appropriate interface instead of extending RevDelItem
Member RevisionItem::getHTML ()
Essentially a copy of RevDelRevisionItem::getHTML. That class should inherit from this one, and implement an appropriate interface instead of extending RevDelItem
Member RevisionItem::getRevisionLink ()
Essentially a copy of RevDelRevisionItem::getRevisionLink. That class should inherit from this one, and implement an appropriate interface instead of extending RevDelItem
Member Sanitizer::escapeClass ( $class)
For extra validity, input should be validated UTF-8.
Member Sanitizer::escapeIdReferenceList ( $referenceString, $options=[])
remove $options completely in 1.32
Member Sanitizer::mergeAttributes ( $a, $b)
implement merging for other attributes such as style
Member Sanitizer::validateAttributes ( $attribs, $whitelist)

Check for legal values where the DTD limits things.

Check for unique id attribute :P

Member Sanitizer::validateTagAttributes ( $attribs, $element)

Check for legal values where the DTD limits things.

Check for unique id attribute :P

Class SanitizerValidateEmailTest
all test methods in this class should be refactored and... use a single test method and a single data provider...
Member SearchEngine::getTextFromContent (Title $t, Content $c=null)
This isn't ideal, we'd really like to have content-specific handling here
Class SearchEngineDummy

FIXME: Dummy class should probably try something at least mildly useful, such as a LIKE search through titles.

Member SearchMssql::parseQuery ( $filteredText, $fulltext)
document
Class SearchResult

FIXME: This class is horribly factored. It would probably be better to have a useful base class to which you pass some standard information, then let the fancy self-highlighters extend that.

File Setup.php
UGLY UGLY
Member SideBarTest::assertSideBar ( $expected, $text, $message='')
this assert method to should be converted to a test using a dataprovider..
Class SiteConfiguration
Give examples for, suffixes: $conf->suffixes = [ 'wiki' ]; localVHosts callbacks!
Member Skin::setupSkinUserCss (OutputPage $out)
delete
Class SkinTemplate
Needs some serious refactoring into functions that correspond to the computations individual esi snippets need. Most importantly no body parsing for most of those of course.
Member SkinTemplate::makeArticleUrlDetails ( $name, $urlaction='')
is this even used?
Class SpecialAllPages
Rewrite using IndexPager
Member SpecialBlock::getSuggestedDurations ( $lang=null)
FIXME: This uses a rather odd syntax for the options, should it be converted to the standard "**<duration>|<displayname>" format?
Member SpecialBlock::getTargetAndType ( $par, WebRequest $request=null)
Should be in Block.php?
Member SpecialContributions::contributionsSub ( $userObj)
FIXME: Almost the same as getSubTitle in SpecialDeletedContributions.php. Could be combined.
Member SpecialMergeHistory::merge ()
if all versions of page A are moved to B and then a user tries to do a reverse-merge via the "unmerge" log link, then page A will still be a redirect (as it was after the original merge), though it will have the old revisions back from before (as expected). The user may have to "undo" the redirect manually to finish the "unmerge". Maybe this should delete redirects at the target page of merges?
Member SpecialPreferencesTest::testBug41337 ()
give this test a real name explaining what is being tested here
Member SpecialReplaceText::extractContext ( $text, $target, $use_regex=false)
The bolding needs to be fixed for regular expressions.
Member SpecialRevisionDelete::addUsageText ()
FIXME: Wikimedia-specific policy text
Member SpecialRevisionDelete::tryShowFile ( $archiveName)
Mostly copied from Special:Undelete. Refactor.
Member SpecialUpload::rotationEnabled ()
What about non-BitmapHandler handled files?
Member SpecialUploadStash::outputFileHeaders ( $contentType, $size)
Unsure about encoding as binary; if we received from HTTP perhaps we should use that encoding, concatenated with semicolon to $contentType as it usually is. Side effect: preps PHP to write headers to STDOUT.
File SpecialWhatlinkshere.php
Use some variant of Pager or something; the pagination here is lousy.
Class StripState

Class SwiftVirtualRESTService
caching support (APC/memcached)

Member TestUserRegistry::isMutable (User $user)
It would be nice if this were a non-static method of TestUser instead, but that doesn't seem possible without friends?
Member Title::getBrokenLinksFrom ()
check if needed (used only in SpecialBrokenRedirects.php, and should use redirect table in this case).
Member Title::getUserPermissionsErrors ( $action, $user, $rigor='secure', $ignoreErrors=[])
