[mediawiki/core@master] Use UndeletePage from Special:Undelete

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/724408

I think at this point, everything needed for this task should be up for review on gerrit. There are still a few things that can be improved (e.g. moving more code to UndeletePage that is executed in both ApiUndelete and SpecialUndelete), but that can be done later.

[mediawiki/core@master] Use UndeletePage from Special:Undelete

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/724408

No new features were added, so we would like to make sure that Special:Undelete and the undelete API module are still working as expected; a few suggestions:

  • Ensure consistency when undeleting files (as opposed to articles)
  • Test behaviour when selectively restoring only some file versions and/or page revisions
  • No need to test this on pages with many deleted revisions; in fact, that will probably timeout and fail
  • Ensure that errors are displayed correctly, for instance if there are no revisions to undelete (e.g. submit the form twice)
dom_walden subscribed.

Sorry I don't have time to do a comprehensive write up, I will just bullet list broadly what I did:

What I didn't test:

  • That the information on the Special:Undelete form itself was correct (although I saw nothing obviously wrong)
  • Other parts of the software that do undelete/restore (if these exist, I didn't have time to look)

Where I was unsure about the behaviour, I compared to what the behaviour was like before the start of this project.

I also had logstash open the whole time to check any errors on testwiki. I saw none.
