Summary: LiquidThreads API namespaces don't include canonical
key (breaking API change)
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: LiquidThreads
AssignedTo: agarr...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: b...@mzmcbride.com
CC: amil...@wikimedia.org, bhar...@wikimedia.org
[09:37] <werdna> So I added localisation to LiquidThreads namespaces
[09:37] <werdna> for some reason this added them to all wikis
[09:37] <werdna> which is hugely annoying
[09:38] <werdna> some feature of the localisation cache
Now
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces&format=jsonfm
isn't outputting "canonical" values for the new namespaces. E.g.,
"90": {
"id": 90,
"case": "first-letter",
"*": "Thread"
},
This breaks expected behavior for some scripts like Python wikitools, which
contain code like:
if ns != "0":
attr = "NS_%s" % (nsdata[ns]['canonical'].replace(' ',
'_').upper())
else:
attr = "NS_MAIN"
