Summary: Add edit notices/warnings in a consistent fashion, and
put them in a sensible order
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: Normal
Component: User interface
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: happy-me...@live.com
Blocks: 18654
As best I can tell, the four functions in EditPage.php that add messages above
the edit window add them in approximately the following order:
1. interface editnotice
2. no-such-user warning
3. Custom editintro supplied by &editintro= GET parameter
4. new-article help
5. log extract for deletion/move logs
6. talk page editnotice
7. Per-namespace editnotices, and per-page editnotices where those are still
(accidentally) enabled
8. Edit conflict warning
9. warning you get if you try to create a new section and save it with no
text
10. force-edit-summary-warning
11. force-edit-summary-warning for new sections
12. Messages generated by hooks such as Capthas, AbuseFilter, etc
13. warning about browsers that mangle unicode
14. warnings related to RevDelete
15. editing-an-old-revision warning
16. warning about the wiki being locked
17. not-logged-in warning
18. JS warning
19. JS/CSS preview notices
20. warning about semi-protection or full-protection or cascading protection
or creation protection
21. long page error or warning
A logical order would have the most general notices
([[MediaWiki:readonlywarning]] and then [[Mediawiki:Talkpagetext]]) first,
followed by namespace-specific notices (all of which could/should be
implemented through the per-namespace editnotice system), followed by per-page
editnotices and finally warnings about the particular edit the user is trying
to make. And they should be added in a consistent fashion that ensures they
are properly parsed, don't get random extra classes added to them, and have
consistent ids.
