Editing Source code & patches


MediaWiki and its ecosystem are great software, however they are not always fitted for a professional use (or for the specific approach envisaged by WikiSphere).

Here are a number of patches both to some core files of MediaWiki (mainly to support the upload of files under page and sub-pages), and to some key-extensions as well, typically with the aim to complete and refine their set of features.

All the patches concern the latest stable version of Mediawiki (1.36) and the corresponding version of the extensions, if you want to use one or more of them (some of them could be correlated, so it is recommended to install them as they are grouped below) just copy the entire file content following the related link, do a copy of the existing files on your wiki, and replace them !

======to-do======

*PageForms does not handle correctly selects with mapped values, as [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Page_Forms/Input_types#Example_1:_mapping_template described here], specifically, instead than allowing options of kind value => label (where the label is visible to the user, and the value the one handled by the form) it only allows options like label => label, and the issue appears both server and client side

==Scribunto / PageExchange==

The following edits are necessary to correctly import modules (page content model "Scribunto") through the extension [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Page_Exchange Page_Exchange].
(See for instance [[Packages_plain_text/accordion.json|this package]]).
