It looks like you wrote [[mw:Extension:ViewFiles]]. If merged into core, this feature would need to be permanently disabled with a very explicit warning attached to it due to the security implications, as I understand it. Broadly, I imagine we want a better long-term solution for viewing and managing MediaWiki configuration. In order for this ticket to move forward, I'd like to first see evidence that the ViewFiles MediaWiki extension is widely installed or that there's a great demand from MediaWiki system administrators and users to have this "view [configuration] files" feature almost always available (at the flick of a switch). I think it will be difficult to meet this burden, so I'm marking this bug as unconfirmed for now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
