Summary: Show previous protection level in protection log and
via API
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Page protection
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Currently the entry in the protection log for a changed protection reads like
this:
* 23:59, 31 December 2099 <Admin> (talk | contribs | block) protected <Article>
[edit=autoconfirmed] (expires 23:59, 1 January 2100 (UTC)) [move=autoconfirmed]
(expires 23:59, 1 January (UTC)) (<Reason>) (hist | change)
What it does not tell you is what protection level the page had before this.
Would it be possible to modify the log (and also the values returned by the
API) in a way to add this information? An entry should look something like this
then:
* 23:59, 31 December 2099 <Admin> (talk | contribs | block) changed protection
settings for <Article> [set edit=autoconfirmed from edit=all] (expires 23:59, 1
January 2100 (UTC)) [set move=autoconfirmed from move=all] (expires 23:59, 1
January (UTC)) (<Reason>) (hist | change)
