Bug #: 29028
Summary: Make Gadgets rights more flexible
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Gadgets
AssignedTo: brightb...@gmail.com
ReportedBy: mybugs.m...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
I was thinking about that new feature which allows some gadgets to be hidden
from [[Special:Preferences]] in the case the user doesn't have certain specific
privileges. Consider the following gadget definition:
*
Ajax_sysop[ResourceLoader|rights=patrol,rollback,markbotedits,delete]|Ajax_sysop.js
(for documentation of this gadget, see [[meta:User:Pathoschild/Scripts/Ajax
sysop]]). Although the gadget require all indicated privileges to be **fully**
functional, some users could benefit of parts of it even if they don't have all
the required permissions.
So, I was wondering if it would be possible to define "parts" of the gadgets
which would be loaded or not depending on whether the user has a specific right
or not. This way, if a user is able to "patrol" but not to "delete", it could
still use the script, although only the parts which are usable without the
missing rights.
Maybe an option to achieve this would be the possibility of associating rights
to specific ".js" pages instead of (or in addition to) the whole gadget module.
E.g.:
* Ajax_sysop[ResourceLoader]|Main code.js[rights=rollback,delete]|optional
stuff.js[rights=patrol,markbotedits]
Any thoughts?
