Change Details

Per http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-May/060470.html I think it would be useful to have some field to inform the wiki (project and/or language) to which configuration requests refers to. Right now, the wiki is not informed in a consistent way. E.g: the users may inform the database name (enwiki, frwikibooks, etc...) or the language+projectname (Portuguese Wikipedia, Spanish Wiktionary) or specify that only in the bug description/comments. A real mess. I don't know what to do in case of configuration changes which refer to more than one wiki though. E.g.: some change may affect all wikis in Portuguese, other change may affect the Wikibooks projects in all languages, and more complicated combinations are also possible. -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: enhancement **URL**: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-May/060470.html **See Also**: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38994 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56295
