Description

tl;dr: add "internal" as a valid audience designation, with functionality set "published".

Details

adjust [[ https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/core/+/1eeccc2d758e5c7e829fe6380954de5e9343f14f/tests/phpunit/structure/RestStructureTest.php#373 | the regexes in RestStructureTest::testModuleDefinitionFiles() ]]to allow "internal"
remove the TODO comments about allowing other suffixes (because now the multiple-suffix pattern will be established)
add "internal" to the mapping of audience designations to functionality sets (from T422754: REST: Audience Designations - functionality sets, following the pattern established under that task)

Note: "internal" may need careful handling as the audience designation system is introduced to avoid displaying anything in the REST Sandbox that we don't want there.

Adjusting a regex or 2 and a tiny code tweak that maps functionality sets to audience designations
Almost a housekeeping task..other heavy lifting should be already done by the time we take this up

• Atieno moved this task from To Refine to To Estimate on the MediaWiki-API-Platform-Team board.May 12 2026, 3:04 PM

Notes from estimation:

The scope of this does not include adjusting any existing module; it's creating the ability to mark something as internal later.
We have this capability for beta; this is adding the option for internal.
There is also a follow up task for enabling the 'opt-in' toggle within the REST Sandbox itself
