Bug ID: 73385
Summary: Read default wiki list from sitematrix
Product: Parsoid
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General
Assignee: parsoid-t...@wikimedia.org

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=sitematrix&format=json
is WMF-specific, but it contains a complete mapping of dbnames to urls for all
WMF sites.
We should either have a parsoid localsettings option to read this at server
startup (optional, non wmf installs won't want it), or else write a simple tool
to generate our default list of wikis (languages at least) statically by
querying this. (And then something to notify us when our list is out of date?)
This will help ensure that we follow the creation of new wikis promptly
(instead of requiring patches like https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/172995 ).
Currently parsoid only is configured with the 'public' wikis in the sitematrix,
and the deploy:conf/wmf/localsettings.js contains definitions of the private
wikis. Once we add the 'parsoidConfig.fetchWMF=true' option to localsettings,
we can probably remove this distinction.
