Analysis: "Unraveling Complexity: Mapping MediaWiki Software Components into User-Driven Workflows"
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

This is a summary of the challenges encountered when attempting to map "mediawiki components" into product-defined (user-facing) workflows.

The objective of the mapping is to model and describe the components constituting the MediaWiki software, aligning them with defined user-facing workflows: Consume, Edit, Upload, Patrol, Communicate, and Discover. The overarching goal is to uncover potential architectural opportunities by recognizing patterns within workflows and their corresponding components. However, this endeavor presents a myriad of challenges, as detailed in the subsequent sections.

The analysis will focus on the challenges raised in the attempt to model the system, and offer next steps.
