Bug ID: 61989 Summary: Simultaneous Modification of Multiple Pages with Semantic Forms Product: MediaWiki extensions Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: Unprioritized Component: SemanticForms Assignee: yaro...@gmail.com Reporter: s7ep...@gmail.com Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: --- Right now the editing of multiple pages with Semantic Forms is rather cumbersome with users having to edit every page separately, then sending it off and waiting for the server reply to then click their way to the edit form for the next page. The aim of this project is to facilitate the simultaneous editing of the data of multiple pages displayed in a table, ideally giving a spreadsheet-like experience. As an additional goal there should be an autoedit-like functionality for multiple pages. Using the #autoedit parser function it is currently possible to create links that, when clicked on, create or edit one page automatically in the background, with a preloaded set of values. With the new function it would be possible to modify several pages at once. Project goals: * display data of multiple pages in a tabular form with each line containing the data of one page and each cell containing an input for one data item * provide an optimized user interface for this form that allows for rapid navigation and editing with a special focus on keyboard navigation * optional: for the data items use the input widgets as specified in an applicable form definition * when submitted store the modified data using the job queue provide a parser function that allows the automatic modification of multiple pages This project involves challenges regarding working with the MediaWiki API and user rights management to protect the wiki from unauthorized mass-modification of pages. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
