Bug ID: 44286
Summary: Allow (interwiki) hard redirect whitelisting
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.21-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Redirects
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
If I understand correctly: [[mw:Manual:$wgDisableHardRedirects]] is either all
or nothing, $wgRedirectSources is only about incoming redirects,
$wgInvalidRedirectTargets is only about special pages.
Enabling hard redirects for everything (i.e. for all local interwikis, cf. bug
40352) is or can be too much. For instance, all Wikimedia projects are "local"
to each other, but it's not very appropriate to automatically redirect a
visitor, say, to a Wikipedia in another language.
It would be better to allow whitelisting for specific local interwikis, which
could be used to enable hard redirects to specific "particularly close wikis";
and maybe also for specific special pages, if one wants to use a specific
special page (maybe added by an extension) without worrying of all the
additional possible special pages (as with $wgInvalidRedirectTargets).
