Summary: Migrate redirect logic out of Article/ImagePage/FileRepo
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Redirects
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: innocentkil...@gmail.com
Looking at the paths redirects handle is a mess, especially when it comes to
Images. I was trying to figure out exactly why local image redirects wont go to
foreign repo'd files when for all intents and purposes they should be able to.
The logic is half in Article, half in ImagePage, and half in the FileRepo.
This is entirely unnecessary and creates a lot of needless overhead for
redirects. I think a dedicated Redirect class is in order. Its only purpose is
to redirect Titles to other Titles. Article, ImagePage and FileRepo can all
make use of this as need be, but the workflow can be centralized.
