I don't want to derail this thread, but I will say this: Even though this is what people say in #mediawiki, I know many respected developers who don't share this approach, especially the "will probably never be supported" part. The security issues are well-known and in some extensions worked around — regardless, having an understanding of what parts of code read page text contributes to our overall code quality and security, and is definitely a worthwhile enterprise. -- Andrew Garrett Wikimedia Foundation [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
