Mark Clements (HappyDog) <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Mark Clements (HappyDog) <[email protected]> 2009-09-08 10:01:18 UTC --- Where the pages come from would need to be configurable. WMF wikis should be using the help pages on Meta which are GFDL, and quite WMF-specific in places (e.g. assuming various extensions are installed, that page URLs are in a certain format, etc.). All other (non-WMF) MediaWiki installs should (by default at least) be using the help pages at MediaWiki.org. These are public domain, and designed for just this purpose (i.e. no site-specific/extension-specific/WMF-specific stuff at all). Other wiki-farms (such as Wikia) may want to host their own central help-page database instead of either of these options. If you plan to support the middle one of those, then the code will need to pull it in via the API, with the associated performance hit to the wiki (though sensible cache configuration could mitigate that) and probably to MW.org as well (more of an issue!) but if not then it could be done via direct DB access, so only local sources of help can be used. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
