Bug ID: 49143
Summary: Store HTML and page properties with multi-part content
handler
Product: Parsoid
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
MediaWiki currently stores the entire page content as WikiText. In addition to
WikiText, we would like to store
* The fully expanded HTML DOM
* Page properties: categories, magic word flags (notoc etc), DISPLAYTITLE, bug
48812, etc
* Parsoid-internal information: Basically data-parsoid moved out of the main
page DOM
Eventually we'd also like to be able to drop WikiText storage without having to
rework the storage architecture.
In the current MediaWiki external storage and ContentHandler architecture this
can be achieved by adding a multi-part content type with a corresponding
ContentHandler. This could be a JSON object or some other serialization.
A possible downside of the compound document approach stems from the need to
update transclusion or image expansions for a given revision. With append-only
and immutable external storage this can be implemented by storing a new
compound document and then updating the revision to point to it. Without
garbage collection this will result in several copies of unmodified WikiText
and page properties in external storage. However, this issue should probably be
addressed in the storage layer.
