That TODO has been there since 2006 (r12621), so apparently it doesn't cause

Breakage is fairly irrelevant. It's a hack using global context sitting
directly inside of our fundamental Title class.
Breakage or no breakage, we don't support hacks forever.
;) sounds like this hack is stretching it's lifespan pretty thin.

Re: [Wikitech-l] State of MediaWiki's render action (parameter to index.php)
To include a page within iframe, sometimes it is reasonable to use ?printable=yes. For example there is a gadget in hewiki that shows Wikidata entry in iframe (within dialog) with ?printable=yes to allow uses to edit properties. (the benefit of printable=yes is that the JS is loaded, but there is no sidebar - which is nice for this purpose) On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 11:17 PM, Daniel Friesen dan...@nadir-seen-fire.com wrote: On Mon, 20 May 2013 12:55:24 -0700, Thomas Gries m...@tgries.de wrote: Am 20.05.2013 18:11, schrieb Tyler Romeo: I'm confused as to what the point of action=render is.

That TODO has been there since 2006 (r12621), so apparently it doesn't
cause that much breakage if nobody bothered to fix it.
That fixme comment is a pretty clear indication of what would break if
you tried to migrate commons image descriptions from action=render to
API action=parse. There's no Title.php hack or anything equivalent for
the API action.
The problem here is the use of global state, necessitated by Linker
interfaces. Ideally, action=render and its hypothetical API
replacement would indicate that full URLs are required via ParserOptions.
Making sure every caller of a Linker static method passes an
appropriate option would be tricky. Maybe a better approach would be
to introduce Linker wrappers to Parser in the form of non-static
methods, or to introduce a $parser-mLinker object with wrapper
methods and the appropriate state.
Or, if action=render is undesirable for some reason other than the
Title.php hack, you could just migrate it to the API line for line:
// @todo FIXME: This causes breakage in various places when we
// actually expected a local URL and end up with dupe prefixes.
if ( !empty( ApiParse::$forceAbsoluteUrls ) ) {
$url = wfExpandUrl( $url, PROTO_RELATIVE );
}
At least it wouldn't be any worse than how it is now. I know there's a
psychological barrier to maintaining inelegant code. But it's just
psychological. Despite appearances, touching it won't make your hand
dirty.

$url = wfExpandUrl( $url, PROTO_RELATIVE );

Note that there are already five API actions which use
FauxRequest/DerivativeContext, which in my opinion is an even worse
form of architectural hack. With DerivativeContext, you could leave
Title.php as it is, and just set up a fake request with action=render
to fool the Title.php code, thus obfuscating the data flow and setting
a crafty trap for anyone who tries to remove action=render in the future.
It would be more consistent with other API actions, but I like my way
better.
