Same logic as in bug 42892.
Quoting Siebrand from the URL: «What is harder, is getting the actual work
done. We need volunteer developers for that. If you know any that care about
this area in particular, please point them my/our way, and I'll make sure that
person will be trained so he's up for the job. Intermediate PHP skills and some
familiarity with MediaWiki code would be nice».
[[mw:Manual:Logging to Special:Log]] contains only a bare example; Niklas seems
to think this enough, but apparently it isn't for normal devs. The log rewrite
hero Siebrand hoped to train has not popped up in the last year and hence can't
be trained, so we need some distributed effort or anyway something concrete to
point people at, other than "would you please rewrite the log for X?" "OMG
scary I've no idea what it means no thanks".
Rancher, are you still interested in the topic and how would you like to help?
Just crash-testing a draft tutorial/manual by working on the rewrite of a
single log, to ensure the docs can successfully guide someone through the job,
would be useful: am I correct, Siebrand?
