Summary: Implement a $wgAction (The Right Way)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: krinklem...@gmail.com
Blocks: 4438,25800
Request to implement a $wgAction (PHP variable). This will
A) Remove the duplication of code that redoes this in several places throughout
the core and possible extensions as well
B) Make it available in CSS (bug 4438)
C) Make it available in JS (replacing the current workaround)
And should:
* Not be dependant on the action-parameter. Instead it should represent what
MediaWiki actually does, and, as we know, the action parameter has nothing to
do with that in many cases.
** During a view, action-param is almost never 'view'
** During a diff (which isn't an action, it's called "historysubmit"), action
is only 'historysubmit' if it came from the history page (if from
recentchanges, watchlist or if manaully constructed like:
http://enwp.org/?diff=1 action is wrongly falling back to 'view' )
Ideas:
* Introduce 'diff' as a valid action and it will be implied if there's a
diff-parameter just like 'view' is implied.
* Use action=diff on history submit, deprecate/remove 'historysubmit'
