Old Status: new > New Status: fixme Commit summary for MediaWiki.r108508: reverts $wgDeprecationWhitelist There is no point in ignoring a deprecated function. The call really need to be migrated OR the core function should not be deprecated if there is any kind of valid usage. If you really want to hide notifications, uses: $wgDevelopmentWarnings = false; Reverts r106993 r106946 Jeroen De Dauw's comment: Ok, apparently I need to explain this once more - sort of getting tired of it, this is why I send a flipping email to the list with my reasoning. Scenario: some interface gets changed for a valid reason in 1.19. You are an extension developer with an extension that needs to be compatible with 1.17 to 1.19. Now you do not have the time to put in code to handle both versions, which might be a lot of work depending on the interface change. So you want to ignore this usage of this detracted interface for now, and fix it later on. However, you want to get a warning as soon as you use some other detracted interface. To me this very much comes off as a "fuck you" to extension developers. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
