Bug ID: 53076
Summary: Re-examine default setting of $wgMFAnonymousEditing in
MobileFrontend extension
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: MobileFrontend
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The current default of $wgMFAnonymousEditing is false in
[[mw:Extension:MobileFrontend]] (in MobileFrontend.php). We should re-examine
whether this matches expectations of people installing the extension. I guess I
see three points to consider:
* determining whether the default should be changed (i.e., whether it matches
user expectations when someone installs the MobileFrontend extension to
automatically have anonymous editing disabled); —— the alternate here would be
setting it to true by default and overriding Wikimedia's setting, which is
trivial to do;
* determining whether this global's implementation is a great idea overall; if
it's meant to be temporary (until the resolution of bug 53069), it's completely
fine; if this is meant to stay in the software indefinitely, a more
granularized array approach may make sense for the global; or perhaps using (or
re-using) assigned user rights (user groups "*", "user", etc.)
* (tangential to point two) documenting $wgMFAnonymousEditing at
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend> (I couldn't see any
mention of it there)
