Summary: Comment (edit summary) parser option for API
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.15-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: API
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Edit summaries (referred to as comments internally, see Linker::formatComment)
have their own custom parser, which is possible to duplicate but rather
annoying to get 100% correct (also, there are minute differences between
versions of Mediawiki).
It would be nice to be able to parse edit summaries via the API in two methods:
1) add comment= parameter to action=parse, spitting out <parsedcomment> with
the HTML
2) add &parsecomment to all properties returning unparsed comments, for example
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Foobar
could have &parsecomment return:
<rev ... comment="/* Examples */ capitalization" parsedcomment="(<span
class="autocomment"><a href="/wiki/Foobar#Examples"
title="Foobar">?</a>Examples:&#32;</span>
capitalization)" />
Not sure of the exact names, but internally and in the api they are called
'comments' rather than 'summaries'. In Linker the action is 'format' but api
users will be used to 'parse' already.
