Change Details

Following the recommendations in {T370879} (TBD: still to be discussed), we should build a community configuration ([[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CommunityConfiguration | docs ]], [[ https://gitlab.com/wmde/technical-wishes/docker-dev/-/blob/main/README.md?ref_type=heads#communityconfiguration | docker-dev module ]], [[ http://dev.wiki.local.wmftest.net:8080/wiki/Special:CommunityConfiguration/CommunityConfigurationExample | local example ]]) page which allows the admin to create a list of custom groups for each site. * [ ] Finish discussion of concept. * [ ] Rough design for user admin and help pages. * [ ] Decide whether we include a set of default groups which are pre-configured. * [ ] Support an arbitrary number of custom groups. Ability to add and delete groups on the community config page. See "Relevant pages" field in the bundled example, which has a similar structure to what is proposed in this task. * [ ] Free-form group name * [ ] Fixed list of supported symbols. This can be incomplete for now and improved iteratively in follow-up work. * [ ] Group symbols can be selected from this fixed list. * [ ] Open question: should we include an unremovable "default" group which can be used to configure the symbols used for group="" ? * [x] Open question: can we use Codex for the Special page UI? Example extension is doing string concatenation for some reason. == Draft implementation == Very early days: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Cite/+/1081640

Our first use case will be a selector for the backlink labels, because the default is generally undesirable, and conflicts badly with subreferencing. * [x] Can we use Codex for the Special page UI? Yes. * [x] Rough design for admin page. * [ ] Finish discussion of concept. * [ ] Fixed list of supported symbols. This can be incomplete for now and improved iteratively in follow-up work. * [ ] Lookup alphabets by locale, label, … TBD * [ ] Show preview of backlinks (dynamically generated in JS, not using parser). Might require an API to fetch the alphabet. * [ ] No effect until the config page is saved. * [ ] When configuration is saved, it should override existing backlink customizations. * [ ] Note: there is no way to reverse this config at the moment!
