Follow-up r89408, r86872: restore IContextSource and ContextSource, to be more carefully reimplemented. Comment: Generally you can think of interfaces as abstract or incomplete classes (and that's what we do rather than explicit separate interfaces, though we do have some). Our current convention is to simply use clear regular names for base interfaces, same as for both concrete and abstract base classes: * DatabaseType * Field * DBMasterPos * HistoryBlob * LoadMonitor * LCStore * Pager * Preprocessor * PPFrame * PPNode Concrete implementation classes that implement one in some specific way should generally then have a nice clear name that prefixes or suffixes the base interface/class's name, like: * HistoryBlob: ConcatenatedGzipHistoryBlob, DiffHistoryBlob * LoadMonitor: LoadMonitor_Null, LoadMonitor_MySQL * Preprocessor: Preprocessor_Hash, Preprocessor_DOM _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list mediawiki-coderev...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
