<Glaisher> Oh.. Maybe we could emit an event/hook whenever there is a newsletter change and then add a handler in AbuseFilter
<Glaisher> and have a separate group for newsletters like in flow
<Glaisher> and introduce newsletter_* variables

Is this really needed when the default list is already sorting by number of subscribers?

Do we block a user from being added as a publisher when they reach the limit, or do we only block the creation of new newsletters?

Hmm... just tested on http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/ and did not get the error. Wonder what's missing here :\

I still see "Manage" at http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletter/1

Closing this now. Tasks can be filed for further validation related bugs.

@Unithiyashree @Prateechi Hi, , You both could work on good first task bugs(https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/169/) and make yourself strong candidates. We'll put up microtasks soon enough and completing them would help you get acquainted with Mediawiki code and the bug fixing procedure. Thank you for your interest!

@Parent5446 , @Tinaj1234 , this is a well scoped project and was featured for Outreachy 11. Are you volunteering as mentors for the upcoming round of Outreach programs?

@Glaisher, can this one be marked resolved ?

Anything else needed will be caught by the security review, this can likely be closed.

I think it would be better to decide what all kinds of inputs are allowed for the form fields that needs validation. Two pages have forms and thus require validation, Special:ManageNewsletter and Special:CreateNewsletter.

@Mhutti1, Thank you!

I have submitted for code review. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/257494/

@Glaisher, could you elaborate on what you meant by email notifications can be prettier ?

While Chris is currently the canonical person for deployment security reviews, others can do them as well. If you're really interested in getting this extension deployed sooner, you could ask Ori, Aaron, Tim, Brion, or Roan, one of whom might have a bit more bandwidth.

@Glaisher, this one can be marked 'Resolved'? :)

Once T117043 is merged, only those newsletters which can be managed by the logged in user will be listed. So only if you are a publisher do you get a list of newsletters in Special: NewsletterManage, nullifying the need of 'manage-newsletter' right ?

The patch submitted for this task makes sure that the entries listed in the table are just those newsletters which can be managed by the logged in user. Should a filter for the table be added as well ?

@Haritha28, this task is kept aside for students who will be participating in Google Code In this December.

• it isn't clear how the newsletters are ordered

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T117043

• permissions model is binary? publisher or not? this seems a bit weird...

We did have 'owners' and 'publishers' earlier.. but then we removed the owners and decided to give the sysops the 'newsletter-addpublisher' permission because the roles of owner were limited.

• how many publishers can a single newsletter have?
  • how do I add or remove a publisher?

You can remove a publisher in Special:ManageNewsletter using the 'Remove' button you see on the 'Action' column. Only a publisher or a sysop can do this action.

• not clear what the contributors column is... single username?
  • not sure this column is needed at all

List the publishers or those who contribute to the newsletter.

The thing is, we use this feature anyway in our Mediawiki4intranet distribution, and we use it long since. By reworking it to a patch series I just wanted to contribute it to Mediawiki project properly (since it was already implemented!)

Hi everyone again! :)

4 years have passed (see my 2011 comment in the very beginning of this bug discussion), basic UserMailer's HTML email support is now in MediaWiki core, so I finally reworked HTML email notifications to a patch series.

@Tgr Thank you for the pointers!

Good job for an initial draft! Please also mention the main project task in your proposal (Phab task of project : <task id> .. or anything similar to that).

@Devirk, From a really quick search I found these tasks which can serve as microtasks,

• https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110218
• https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111754

The usual procedure is we come up with a plan for a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) after the project period starts to be completed by the end of mid term evaluations,. Maybe in this case, we should come up with an MVP right now which can be completed by a student and will come under Outreachy's scope.
