[mediawiki/extensions/FileImporter@master] Remove templates as indicated by the config files

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/443814

Open question: Should removals also appear in the summary line? Currently only replacements are counted.

• We could count removals as replacements as well, and let the summary line say something like "2 automatic changes to templates have been made".
• The summary could also list removals separately, and say something like "0 removals and 2 replacements have been made".

While doing this, I wonder if we also should also write something, when we changed the section headings. Currently we only count template changes and removals. We could also add the changes of headlines to that number. The text then would more be like 1 automatic changes to the wikitext have been made ....

@Fisch-WMDE do you have a sample file? I'm struggling to find something to test it with

Sorry, my bad. - But let's use this awesome search interface I've heard of to find a fitting file :-D

List with templates to remove:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FileImporter/Data/de.wikipedia

Template to remove:
Commonsfähig

Searching for files with that template:
https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=hastemplate%3ACommonsf%C3%A4hig+filetype%3Abitmap&title=Spezial:Suche&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&advancedSearch-current=%7B%22options%22%3A%7B%22filetype%22%3A%22bitmap%22%2C%22hastemplate%22%3A%5B%22Commonsf%C3%A4hig%22%5D%7D%2C%22namespaces%22%3A%5B6%5D%7D&ns6=1

File with template that should be removed:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:K%C3%B6nigsforst_Waldlehrpfad_Rath.png

\o/ :-P

oh män, sorry, the interface rumor should have reached me too ;)

So thanks and it looks great!

It seems that visible file info that comes before template set for removal is entirely or almost entirely removed along with this template. If I try to import a file (source) then the only text preserved is "Self" (name for another template replaced). At the end original file info has "viiCommonsisse" template which is set for removal in config file.

Thanks for the hint ... seems like to be something we have to look into. I will create a separate ticket for it.

Change 448802 abandoned by WMDE-Fisch:
Fix flipped array indexes in template removal code

Reason:
Since commons already uses the .14 branch we do not need this backport for .13

@Pikne: This should be fixed and deployed now. Thanks again for your report!

P.S.: @Pikne if you want to have the FileExporter[1] extension enabled as beta feature for the Estonian wiki. Just get an approval via community consensus, create a ticket and link the consensus there. :-)

See also T196908 or T198594

[1] You can then just use a convenient link on the file info pages to initiate the moving process.

I don't know. I expect you'd later enable it anyway and so I haven't bothered to bring this up on wiki. Based on file moves done in the past there's probably little interest for this among other users. And for my own convenience I already did set up this export link browser-side. :)

Anyway, thanks for fixing this removal issue and work done on developing the tool altogether.
