Brain snapshot

  • MediaWiki's built-in permissions architecture uses group-based permissions:
    • Users are assigned to groups
    • groups are assigned rights
    • -> users inherit rights from every group to which they are assigned)
  • In LocalSettings.php, 
    $wgRevokePermissions['*']['read'] = true;
    seems to make the wiki private
  • When creating a page or uploading a file, by default:
    • it's public readable
    • only the author can edit
  • forbid page creation by anonym
  • talk only creatable by by owner of the main
    • Project_talk:Bienvenue only creatable by owner of Project:Bienvenue
    • Main_talk:Les_Gros_Fetards/La_chanson_du_lundi/version_anglaise

    • user is author -> user is owner (same behaviour)
    • only owner of WikiPlace
  • What EditPage does when submitting text changes?
    • when submitting form, call edit()
      • call attemptSave()
        • call internalAttemptSave()
          • call $this->mArticle->doEdit( $text, $this->summary, $flags )
            • WikiPage->doEdit( $text, $summary, $flags = 0, $baseRevId = false, $user = null )
              • call WikiPage->updateRevisionOn(...)
              • call WikiPage->doEditUpdates(...)
                • call WikiPage->onArticleEdit( $this->mTitle );
              • call WikiPage->mTitle->invalidateCache()
  • WikiPage->updateRestrictions(...)
    • wfRunHooks( 'NewRevisionFromEditComplete', array( $this, $nullRevision, $latest, $user ) );
    • wfRunHooks( 'ArticleProtectComplete', array( &$this, &$user, $limit, $reason ) );
