Bug #: 29072
Summary: Getlets: Transcluding a file (for example, a README
file on SVN) on a page (for example:
MediaWiki:Extension) page
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: DynamicPageList2
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: m...@tgries.de
Classification: Unclassified
Please let me propose this as a new extension:
A way similar as described in Wikimania 2005 proposal of "Getlets" [1][2],
and similar to what [3] already offers - see security risk warning there -,
- to transclude text content of a file denoted by a URL
- if possible, limited (per-wiki setting) to trusted URLs or servers
- preferably after sanitizing the content of the file
- preferably after virus checking the content of the file
- preferably allowing wiki text (file content may use wiki syntax)
on MediaWiki pages.
Purpose:
To avoid duplication of content, especially for documentation of extensions,
I wish to transclude a README file from our SVN on a Mediawiki extension
page or subpage.
