Bug #: 40179
Summary: [Wikidata branch] Reliably prevent direct editing of
non-text content.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page editing
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: daniel.kinz...@wikimedia.de
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The EditPage class should refuse to work on non-textual content. Non-text
content usually requires a strict syntax for representing the structured data,
which is annoying to edit by used and easily broken. So direct editing should
be disabled for this kind of content.
Note that direct editing via ApiEditPage (i.e. action=edit) can in general
still be allowed, though a dedicated API would be desired for some content
models.
