Avoid cache fragmenting URLs for Share a Fact shares
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points
Actions

Description

Currently, the apps share URLs by adding a query to the URL:

?source=app

?source=app should be changed to the following:

iOS: ?wprov=sfii1 for image cards, ?wprov=sfti1 for text shares
Android: ?wprov=sfia1 for image cards, ?wprov=sfta1 for text shares

In iOS, WMFShareOptionsViewController (init, respondToTapForCardGesture, and respondToTapForTextGesture) should be updated accordingly.

In Android, ShareHandler.java should be updated.

Additionally, a VCL patch should be submitted in the fashion of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/120617/, but generalized for handling this wprov parameter with an alphanumeric value.

The format of the parameter will be as follows:

?wprov=<3_char_feature><platform_one_char><major_version_of_feature_uint>

For the first version on iOS, this will be

?wprov=safi1

And Android:

?wprov=safa1

@dr0ptp4kt, awesome, can you document this parameter scheme somewhere on mediawiki.org or wikitech for future reference?

• Fjalapeno subscribed.Mar 11 2015, 10:29 PM

I was going to pick this up but its not clear what the actual issue is from the ticket description.

@dr0ptp4kt I assume you intended on picking this up, but even so, we should make sure the descriptions provide enough explanation for anyone to complete (and also not rely on parsing email threads for details).

dr0ptp4kt added a comment.Mar 11 2015, 11:14 PM

I'll update the ticket description.

@dr0ptp4kt, @Deskana: are there related plans for appending an oldid parameter and reviewing the caching implications or has that option been abandoned?

That's still on the table, and we plan to revisit this soon. I have no ETA at this time, though.

• DarTar added a comment.Apr 9 2015, 7:05 PM

@Deskana got it, I'd like to run past you some ideas about the backlink that I discussed with Moiz and a few accessibility folks.

• Deskana added a comment.Apr 9 2015, 7:06 PM

@DarTar That sounds great. Putting it in an email or a Phab task would be ideal, as I'm really overloaded with work at the minute.
