Summary: Deprecate WikiError
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.17-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The WikiError class is used only in the Mail backend, very isolated areas in
SpecialImport and SpecialUserrights, and a few odd bits scattered through
filerepo; its documentation says it was implemented "because PHP4 doesn't have
exceptions". We now require PHP5, which *does* have exceptions, although I'm
not entirely sure that they're entirely suitable for all the uses. But between
exceptions, Message string errors, and Status objects, this system is
completely duplicated and extremely inconvenient to keep around; the mail
system in particular creeps all over the place.
