Summary: Restore Article.php - pageCountInfo( $title ) to public
access
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
With the release of 1.14, pageCountInfo( $title ) in Article.php was changed to
"protected" from "public." This function provides basic page count information
on an article and is useful to extension authors.
I have created an extension that has been using this function. It's like a
"watched page" function that monitors selected pages with summaries of
accesses, edits and authors.
In general, there should be a trend to permitting public access for functions
that provide statistical info in MW. Private or protected should be for
functions that wrap up implementation details that aren't likely to be of
anyone's interest.
