Intial commit of Extension:FundraiserLandingPage Comment: In re performance, my understanding is that we planned to cache it. Clearly I missed something that is preventing this page from being cached then? The extension would be deployed on donate.wikimedia.org which will also have $wgRawHtml enabled. We are aware of the issue with the templates, but user accounts on donate.wikimedia.org are meant to be heavily restricted to only those people who need it for the fundraiser. Am I correct in my thinking that this is an underlying issue with $wgRawHtml and that this extension does not exacerbate the vulnerability? The problem that we are trying to solve is indeed the number of pages that have to be created for this year's fundraiser. Last year there was not much of a push for localization, but this year we are attempting, with the GlobalCollect integration, to be able to accept as many currencies and payment methods as possible. Each of these will need to be localized by country depending on what is available there. Our intent here was to break the landing pages into two major sections, the appeal and the form. If we can localize a form or set of forms once for each country, and easily swap out the appeal with the extension, we can avoid having to make another static page for each combination of form and template. Doing A/B testing for each of the ~200 countries for payment methods would result in ~400 pages per appeal version (we are often also wanting to test subtle changes in appeals). This extension would allow us to create the 400 forms and then just swap out the appeals as we desired. Additionally, we could do the same type of swapping for any part of the landing page template if we desired. -- Peter Gehres _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list mediawiki-coderev...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
