Currently, datatypes, and various handlers for datatypes, need to be registered or hardcoded in several places. There should be a single central place for defining datatypes, and providing the necessary specifications and callbacks.
Some things that currently need to be registered for datatypes:
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Introduce $wgWBRepoDataTypes. Use it to define validators. | mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase | master | +510 -92 |
| Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | |
