Bug #: 30784
Summary: Page creation date metaproperty required in SMW core
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: blocker
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Semantic MediaWiki
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: fastgoldf...@gmail.com
CC: jeroen_ded...@yahoo.com, mar...@semantic-mediawiki.org
Classification: Unclassified
This bug report is an element of this one, for needed metaproperties:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30610
and it is a blocker for this one, for existence and uniqueness validation:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30537
Without a creation date property, it is not currently possible to use a
workaround to check for duplicates without also marking the original as a
duplicate. Being able to find the oldest page creation date makes it possible
to allow that original page to not be marked as a duplicate, while all
subsequent pages are marked as duplicates.
An inaccurate manually created page creation date property can be employed as a
workaround for the problem, but it is only able to record the date that the
form was loaded, not the actual creation date of the resulting page produced by
the form.
In order to do this for all pages, as reported in bug 30537, a creation date
metaproperty is required, and very probably should be in SMW core instead of an
extension, due to its "blocker" nature.
Once a creation date metaproperty becomes available in the core, bug 30537 can
be fixed.
