OurOwnRecentChanges
What (summary)
Our own stream of revisions that we can annotate and interact with easily.
Why this is important
Patrolling recent changes takes away from time we could spend growing relationships. We want to change the model of how we "cut the weeds" and "interact with community" so that we can spend more time on the latter. We aren't free to do so until we own our stream of actions.
It allows us to quickly write robust special-function tools like UberPatrol that operate on the full gamut of user actions.
DoneDone
- For every revision we log the important information in our own database table.

Steps to get to DoneDone
-
Define database tables in compost migration -
Add hook in Mediawiki that creates rows in new table on every save - We need to be able to add a timestamp to our mysql from Mediawiki in the proper format for a MySQL datetime field
- Create a better test user and time
- Make sure hooks work for both logged and anonymous users
