What (summary)

Replace Mediawiki's editing functionality with our own homegrown editor.

Why this is important

As we move towards profiles we need to be able to integrate functionality of We can edit!

DoneDone

  • Merge with compostus branch
  • Require CAPTCHA iff any of these conditions are met:
    • Non-sysops add external links....
    • Anyone add text that triggers spam filter
  • Implement spam filter using Akismet
    • Applied to newly added text
    • Get commercial key
  • Upon edit:
    • email tags are graphic-substituted
    • Page text is pre-processed by mediawiki Parser, saved as a new revision
    • CategoryLinks/TemplateLinks/PageLinks all updated properly, based on results from Parser
    • PageCache is recreated, based on results from parser.
    • Users on watchlist are notified (by email or otherwise) -- appears to be done
    • RecentChanges / Actions are created upon edit (autopatrolled as before)
      • Actions wait until we figure out what's wrong


  • Audited for javascript injection vulnerabilities!
    • Escape ALL user-submitted content.

Steps to get to DoneDone

  • Verify by hand that the code we refactored works correctly.
    • If not, write tests.
    • Cases:
      • Edit section
      • Edit nonexistent page
      • Add new section
      • Edit old revision.
      • Diff
      • Preview
  • Fix section edit links not showing up
  • Same code pathway for parsing on edit and on page_cache update
  • Section editing doesn't handle bullets right
