Re: [Wikitech-l] How to create account by API?

There is currently no API to do account creation (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Account_creation is a draft, and IIRC there is nobody actively working on it). There was a GSoC student working on it last year (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SignupAPI) but I don't think that's in any

It seems like it would make more sense to just use a central authentication system to support both the Wiki and the other services. There are extensions and plugins for LDAP and other authentication methods. On Mon, Aug 6, 2012 at 11:58 PM, wangfeng wangfeng wangfeng.v1.1...@gmail.com wrote:

[Wikitech-l] Deprecation levels

Hey, This is something I've come across several times before when deprecating functions: people want different behaviour with regard to the warnings they get. Typically what people want can be split into two groups: Weak deprecation: The function is documented as being deprecated but no

[Wikitech-l] Searching in mediawiki instance with solr?

Hi, is there any special advice for searching in mediawiki instances using solr? The only thing I found http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SolrStore seemed to be quit special for SMW? We already run solr for other projects and it would be nice to include our wiki

Re: [Wikitech-l] Deprecation levels

Hey, Didn't we solve this already by being able to pass a version to wfDeprecation() and allowing users to set $wgDeprecationReleaseLimit to hide/show from whatever cut-off point they desire? This seems to coarse - people still get mad when adding a wfDeprecated( __METHOD__, '1.20' ), even

Re: [Wikitech-l] Deprecation levels

I don't think this is a very good idea at all. The real problem has to do with the definition of a deprecated feature. If a feature has been deprecated, then it should no longer be used (at least not in the core). Inventing soft deprecation for features that have been superseded but have yet to be

Re: [Wikitech-l] Deprecation levels

Mhm. I like the idea of function supersession. Basically, I just don't think we should call a function deprecated unless it actually is indeed deprecated, i.e., no longer used anywhere in the core. Theoretically, a function that is deprecated in the core should not show any warnings whatsoever

The goal would be to lure experienced TDD devs in by focusing the event on testing, make them work with the community during a weekend on the code base, existing test, writing tests, etc. and mentor others along the way. (I'm still convinced that giving it a cool, flashy, name doesn't hurt
