Change Details

The Cargo extension (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cargo) lets you declare a certain field as having "allowed values" (like "Blue, Red, Yellow"), but it doesn't allow for defining a field as holding a hierarchy of values. An example would be a field called "Topic", which can hold both major topics and minor sub-topics as values. As I see it, the steps of such a project may look something like: * Add support for declaring hierarchy fields * Add support for querying hierarchy fields, using a new Cargo keyword, "WITHIN" (as in "where=City WITHIN 'Asia'"). This would need to work with both single-value fields and fields that hold multiple values. * Add support for such fields within Cargo's Special:Drilldown interface - a line there might look like: Fruits (23) * Vegetables (30) ("Vegetables" only (3) * Root vegetables (15) ("Root vegetables" only (1) * Carrots (12) * Turnips (2) ) * Peppers (12) ) * Add support for hierarchy fields in the Page Forms extension - so that such fields automatically get the right input type ("tree"), with the right values filled in * Also make hierarchy fields easy to create in Page Forms' helper pages, like Special:CreateTemplate and Special:CreateClass =Internship project details= * Primary mentor: Nischay Nahata * Co-mentor: Yaron Koren * Skills: PHP, SQL * Estimated project time for a senior contributor: 2 weeks * Microtasks: ** T29702 (may no longer be valid - this should be checked) ** T72704 (also may no longer be valid)
