Bug #: 36898
Summary: Need interface for diff-based DataUpdates in
WIkiPage::doEdit
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page editing
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
As of recently, DataUpdate objects are used to represent updates to be
performed on the database when a page is changed or deleted (basically,
DataUpdate is a generalization of LinksUpdate).
Currently, WikiPage::doEdit takes a list of DataUpdate objects from the
ParserOutput object and applies them to the database. However, the DataUpdate
could be implemented more smartly if the difference between the previous and
the new revision could be used,m instead of relying solely on the new revision.
So, WikiPage::doEdit should call a function that can generate DataUpdate
objects based on the (difference between) the previous and the new revision,
and apply them to the database.
Conceptually, WikiPage::doEdit should have a way to determine which DataUpdates
need to be performed for the current edit, instead of relying on the
UpdateObjects from the ParserOutput directly.
