Add support for overall description / help texts for objects in CommunityConfiguration
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

While working on T328171: Use Community Configuration in Babel extension: LocalSettings configuration variables, @Michael noted it would be nice to add a description to the "Category names per language level" config field, which currently looks like this (providing very little config):

If we add support for description and/or help text at the whole object level (in addition to supporting it at individual fields level), we would be able to build a nicer form for Babel.

@Michael - is there a UI form for Babel (with CommunityConfiguration fields)?

Almost, we're waiting for a last "thumbs up" from the language team. The change currently is at Move configuration to CommunityConfiguration. You can try it out locally if you set $wgBabelUseCommunityConfiguration = true; in your LocalSettings.php
