Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature
Actions

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
Remove hard-coding of template names from the extension. Move to an on-wiki json file. See {T259835#7518714}
Deletion tags: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/PageTriage/+/refs/heads/master/modules/ext.pageTriage.tagData/deletionTags.json
Maintenance tags: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/PageTriage/+/refs/heads/master/modules/ext.pageTriage.tagData/maintenanceTags.json

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

Benefits (why should this be implemented?): Changes to any template names will not need any change to the extension code and will be more immediate.

@MPGuy2824 thanks for filing this. Just noting that there is some prior art here for you to consider in the GrowthExperiments extension's community configuration feature. Config is managed in a JSON page, but with a Special page to make it easier to write to this page (Special:EditGrowthConfig), for avoiding errors in writing to the config, making it easier for non-technical users, etc.

Our implementation is specific to features managed by GrowthExperiments, but maybe this is an opportunity to think about a shared feature in MediaWiki core.

OTOH, if you just want to build something quickly specific to PageTriage, looking through the Config code in GrowthExperiments might give you some implementation ideas.

There's some history here. These use to be an on wiki .js file. I moved them into the repo and converted them to json. Having them in the repo lets us keep the code linted properly, enforced by our continuous integration tests.

It is also useful for localhost and testwiki testing. The json is already created and up to date.

Will need to give it some thought if it is a good idea to move it back out of the repo.

Are you ready to react to every +2 from every wiki that wants to make changes? :)

Second thought, maybe the Growth-Team will help, maybe there is a way to create an additional GUI page for extension for Deletion and Maintenance templates list through СС. CC has different forms: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CommunityConfiguration/HelpPanel (look at Help panel links).
