Bug ID: 58193
Summary: OAuth consumer metadata is too limited
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: OAuth
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
It's great that each action performed by an OAuth consumer is tagged as such.
It would also be nice if the consumer description page was a bit more
user-friendly. As an example:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:OAuthListConsumers/view/90b858d7d1179a1b4eee89956e735e80
What I'm missing on this page:
* A link to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Danmichaelo
* A link to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:CropTool
* A link to http://tools.wmflabs.org/croptool/
* A link to a bug reporting mechanism
* A link to the source code
The callback link in this case is identical to the tool link, but it doesn't
have to be. So I'd recommend including the following in the consumer metadata:
* author URL (username URL or website)
* tool description / usage instructions URL
* tool URL
* bug reports / feedback URL
* source code URL
Once we have a bit more metadata, we can clean the special page up and make it
less technical and more understandable, since we can reasonably expect users to
visit these pages from the Tag: links in recent-changes/contributions.
I understand that consumers may not have all required information by the time
they're requesting a token, and in some cases, not all of it will be applicable
or required. So all of the above could be optional, and supplied later.
