Increase limit for edit summary in Flagged Revisions to COMMENT_CHARACTER_LIMIT
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

With T188798, the length of the edit summary was set to 500 characters for all Wikimedia wikis.

However, when using the button "Änderungen verwerfen" offered by Flagged Revisions (ID mw-fr-submit-reject), the edit summary is still limited to 200 characters, causing the well-known issues e.g. when reverting edits by anon users with IPv6 addresses, cf. this discussion on dewiki.

The length of this text field should also be set to 500:

<input name="wpReason" size="120" value="..." id="wpReason" maxlength="500" class="webfonts-changed">

[mediawiki/extensions/FlaggedRevs@master] Use COMMENT_CHARACTER_LIMIT everywhere (T194588)

@Anomie Thanks for the hint, I tried to add the COMMENT_CHARACTER_LIMIT in all places, but I don't feel qualified to work on this further.

As far as I could figure out, the wpReason comment is only added to the log tables, which should be ready for longer comments. If, however, FlaggedRevs also stores the comments in one of its own tables, the database schema needs to be adapted and the table updated accordingly before any change can go into effect.

If, however, FlaggedRevs also stores the comments in one of its own tables, the database schema needs to be adapted and the table updated accordingly before any change can go into effect.

I' took a look at the flaggedrevs tables and there is no row where these could possibly go to.

Adding Core Platform, as they are responsible for MediaWiki-Comment-store and might be able to assist with reviewing here.

Do we need some schema changes or ALTERs on prod before merging https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/extensions/FlaggedRevs/+/532090/ ?

Anomie added a comment.Sep 24 2019, 5:25 PM

I don't see any schema changes in that patch, just changes to HTML form field "maxlength" parameters. Also at a quick glance I don't see anything that looks like a comment field in the extension's schema, while I do see it seeming to hand the supplied texts to core functions.

MGChecker added a comment.Sep 24 2019, 9:11 PM

By T194588#5434893, there is no row in the extension schema where this information could possibly go to.
