Summary: New magic word like PROTECTIONLEVEL to give flag
restrictions information
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: FlaggedRevs
AssignedTo: jschulz_4...@msn.com
ReportedBy: wiki.nihilt...@gmail.com
CC: innocentkil...@gmail.com
It would be good to have a magic word that was the equivalent of, or part of
(think {{PROTECTIONLEVEL:flaggedrevs}} or something), the
{{PROTECTIONLEVEL:foobar}} magic word that is used for protection. This is
particularly the case as the Pending Changes implementation on the English
Wikipedia uses the protection interface for changing the settings. There is
already a use-case: existing code in the {{pp-meta}} template on the English
Wikipedia uses {{PROTECTIONLEVEL:edit}} and {{PROTECTIONLEVEL:move}} code to
determine whether the placement of a protection template on a page is
appropriate. It's not super-high priority, but this is a relatively simple
feature that is demonstrably useful.
Ideally, such a magic word would have similar output to the protectionlevel
one: returning nothing if unprotected, and otherwise the minimum level of
permissions required to edit it normally. So, for example, the "normal" level
of Pending Changes would probably output "autoconfirmed" and the "Level II"
setting "reviewer", but I might be incorrectly interpreting the semantics.
