Feature summary:
Add a link from the json configuration pages, to the relevant Special page. I.e.
- https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Editcheck-config.json (and the same page at all other wikis)
- should link directly to https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EditChecks
Use case(s):
Make it easier for editors to find both the corresponding Special page, and the feature-documentation. From that Special page, editors can already directly access the Configuration documentation.
Benefits:
Less confusion, and less need for custom local setups (and not needing to manually link to the Special page and/or docs from the talkpage).
Related community-made idea:
Note: Enwiki currently has a custom setup on all json pages, that displays an embedded placeholder link for a /doc subpage which gets transcluded if it exists.
- E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Editcheck-config.json says at the top, Documentation for this JSON page can be created at the /doc subpage.
- We can see how that is intended to work, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/AfC_topic_map.json (cf. the very helpful box at the top, which is defined in the /doc subpage)
- It is powered by the Lua code at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Subject_page_header
