Bug #: 29903
Summary: Improve the way to blacklist categories on AFT
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ArticleFeedback
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Currently the ArticleFeedback.php has the following code to allow users to
blacklist some categories:
$wgArticleFeedbackBlacklistCategories = array();
I would like it to have at least one default category (such as
[[Category:Exclude in print]]), whose name should be defined in a MediaWiki:
message (such as [[MediaWiki:coll-exclusion_category_title]]), so that users
can have by default the option to hide the tool from some articles by
specifically adding them to that default category or adding the category to
some template (like the ones used on disambiguation pages).
The Collection extension offers also another option: the message
[[MediaWiki:Coll-template_blacklist_title]] is used to define/translate the
name of another message ([[MediaWiki:PDF Template Blacklist]]) which is then
used as a place for a blacklist of templates. It seems this method is not
recommended though:
"The preferred method to exclude templates in exports is to add them to
[[Category:Exclude in print]]."
If not, the AFT could have such a blacklist available through an analogous
MediaWiki message, allowing admins to add or remove categories as needed
without having to ask a change here on Bugzilla.
