Bug #: 37588
Summary: make sure page protection works for data items
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
AssignedTo: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: daniel.kinz...@wikimedia.de
CC: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
MediaWiki supports different levels of page protected. We should make sure this
protection is applied to changes to wikidata items.
If Title::userCan() is used everywhere to check access before any modifications
are applied, this *should* be sufficient, as that is supposed to check page
protection too.
It's a bit unclear to me on what level the checks should be performed.
Probably, the API should check, and perhaps Item::save should check again.
There should also be unit tests checking that user permissions and page
protection are working.
