Bug ID: 60758
Summary: mw.message.newRawMessage allowing unintended behaviors
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Scribunto
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: jackmcbarn+w...@gmail.com

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Using mw.message.newRawMessage allows performing several actions that are
otherwise disabled because they break things, such as checking if a page exists
without incrementing the expensive function count or adding a pagelink (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Lua#Ifexist_alternative for more),
and for getting Wikidata properties of pages other than the current one, which
also won't be updated properly (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Lua#.22Hacking.22_into_Wikidata_to_get_properties_of_miscellaneous_articles
for more). Is there some way that newRawMessage could be tweaked to either not
allow this type of thing at all, or to make it happen properly?
