Modify $wgFlaggedRevsHandleIncludes for English Wikibooks
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Per this discussion, there seems to be no objection to change the FlaggedRevs configuration to $wgFlaggedRevsHandleIncludes = 0 (which, if used, will no longer allow FlaggedRevs to check for any stable version of templates/files if available). This task is also related to T408110.

Event Timeline

Thanks for filing! If it's okay I'm gonna wait a bit longer before taking any action on this - the discussion's only been open for a few days so far (since the 15th November), and I'd like to give the opportunity for more folks to be able to opine if they'd like to. The discussion for T408110 was open for ~4 weeks before the Phab task was filed; and while I don't think that we necessarily have to wait that long, I would personally prefer to wait for it to have been open for 1 or 2 weeks before taking action on it :)

(Also, I'm currently undecided on this, but just FYI, I may end up merging this task into the other one (and maybe updating the other task's title/description) if it seems like things might be easier to track that way; given that that's where all the on-Phab discussion about this has taken place so far. But no worries about having filed this, though :))

A_smart_kitten moved this task from Backlog to Working on on the Wikimedia-Site-requests board.
A_smart_kitten removed a project: FlaggedRevs.

(I've opted to make it a subtask instead :))

Also -- noting for transparency that (assuming that the onwiki discussion remains in favour of making this change) I plan to handle this task (and its parent) on/around 30 November (and hopefully get the changes deployed soon after that).
