Hi, mediawiki-mode (cf. https://launchpad.net/mediawiki-el) com- bines wiki syntax highlighting and reading/creating/editing MediaWiki pages.
At the moment, this combination makes it more complicated for example to edit JavaScript files on wikis or directly export org-mode agendas there. The simple solution would be to separate the syntax high- lighting and the remote editing parts, for example by moving the latter to TRAMP (who would have thought? :-)). But MediaWiki requires (or at least most wikis strongly en- courages) edit summaries (one line "commit messages"). How- ever, MediaWiki certainly is way too simple to warrant vc-mediawiki.el and doesn't fit its model at all. So I would have to query the user for the edit summary on TRAMP file save while still retaining the possibility to au- tomate this (for example, if I had a function that would ex- port my org-mode agenda to a wiki, I would not want to be bothered every time to enter "Update."). Are there precedents in TRAMP for querying the user in such cases? My gut suggests having a variable tramp-mediawiki-edit-summary which is taken as the edit sum- mary if it is not nil, and otherwise prompt the user. In scripts, one could then wrap save-buffer calls & Co. in a let form.
