Summary: pre-save transform may occur outside section being
edited
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Page editing
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: m8r-cyc...@mailinator.com
I noticed the pre-save transform affects the entire
page, not just the section you are editing. If through
some trickery or foresight you create a page like this:
> ==Section 1==
> {{subst:template which doesn't exist yet}}
> {{subst:#some future parser-func:foo|bar}}
>
> ==Section 2==
> Lorem ipsum
A subsequent edit to Section 2 may cause unexpected
changes to the wiki-text of Section 1 if and when the
requested subst-items exist.
Seems like the least astonishing behavior would be to
prevent this.
