Bug #: 39122
Summary: Re-evaluate pages system in Wikimedia Report Card
Product: Analytics
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ReportCard
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: b...@mzmcbride.com
CC: d...@wikimedia.org, dvanli...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
It looks like the Wikimedia Report Card has a rudimentary pages feature. For
example:
* http://reportcard.wmflabs.org/about
* http://reportcard.wmflabs.org/contact
* http://reportcard.wmflabs.org/project
All of which read "hello!" currently.
I'm not sure this is the best approach. Using a wiki comes with user
authentication, page history and control, an established editing syntax, and a
whole lot of other features. Using a homegrown pages solution duplicates a lot
or all of this effort for little benefit, as far as I can see. I don't know too
much about this software package ("Limn"), but I think this part of the
software needs reconsideration.
I suppose one of the big questions is whether this software (Limn) is intended
to be used outside of this particular project (Wikimedia Report Card). If not,
I think it definitely makes sense to use Meta-Wiki or mediawiki.org or some
other wiki for these types of pages (similar to how
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics> is already linked to/integrated into
the footer).
