Change Details

As noted in {T211117}, there is a desire to manage help panel links (the 5 default links, and any links that are varied by context, as well as the "View more help" link) on-wiki. Currently, the links are maintained in configuration and SWAT deployments are required to update them. Our current view is that we should implement a system to manage the help panel links on-wiki before attempting to vary links by context (T211117). The idea would be to have a page like `Mediawiki:HelpPanelLinks` with either a documented wikitext format or a JSON content model (again with instructions) on how the links should be structured.
