Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

There should be an extension point for definign new data types. Currently, data types are hard coded in several places, at least:

  • In WikiBaseDataTypeBuilders
  • In WikibaseRepo, when initializing the DeserializerFactory
  • in Wikibase.php, when setting up $wgValueParsers

And probably more places, for JS, etc.

For DataTypes, we have:

  • DataValueFactory
  • WikibaseValueFormatterBuilders

Was this bug marked as resolved because it is is effectively equivalent to T104329? If so maybe one should state that so that people can find the solution to the problem described in the bug report.
