Allow extensions to specify tag contents can be passed through preSaveTransform without being escaped

This is an alternative to Nikola's patch. It allows extensions and internal setHook functions to specify that there contents can be run through the preSaveTransform function without being escaped.

It passes all the current parser tests and a few others I've managed to throw at it.

That was a smart way to solve it.

Commented some concerns on gerrit.

Somebdy should really give those patches some love, as apparently the original committer has disappeared.

Gabriel: As you assigned this report to yourself a year ago, do you plean to rework the two patches?

Gabriel: As you assigned this report to yourself two years ago, do you plan to rework the two patches? Or are they "somehow" obsoleted in the meantime?

I was tooling around with this, but...

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Tag_extensions#How_do_I_render_wikitext_in_my_extension.3F

This section says that tag extensions will never have PSTs applied to them. So maybe this bug is WONTFIX and we should abandon all patches for it?

Nemo_bis added a comment.Sep 23 2015, 7:25 PM

This bug is not only/mainly about tag extensions: see pipe trick, subst, signatures.

AdamCuerden raised the priority of this task from High to Unbreak Now!.Sep 24 2015, 8:58 AM

this has surely gone on long enough, with maqsses of lost resources.

Aklapper lowered the priority of this task from Unbreak Now! to High.Sep 24 2015, 9:37 AM

This task has not suddenly become more urgent than before, hence reverting the recent Priority change. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Project_management#Setting_task_priorities for more information. Thanks.

Am I correct in thinking that {{subst:CURRENTMONTH}} and {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} not being substituded in this edit is due to this bug?

XanonymusX added a comment.Nov 7 2017, 9:18 PM

Yes, substituting within refs won't work if this bug is not resolved!

Billinghurst added a comment.Nov 8 2017, 11:40 AM

@Thryduulf use {{#tag:ref|}} or {{subst:#tag:ref|}} and it will work

Billinghurst added a comment.Nov 8 2017, 11:41 AM

and I would love to see this added to the projects for fixing that are coming up. It is truly time that this got resolved for all wikis.

Thryduulf added a comment.Nov 8 2017, 3:31 PM

@Billinghurst add an entry to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2017_Community_Wishlist_Survey (I guess it would fit in the editing section?).
