| F5911: ApiQuerySiteinfo.php.patch | |
| Nov 21 2014, 10:44 PM |
Author: brianna.laugher
Description:
There are a number of configuration settings that affect things in the API e.g. $wgRCMaxAge. These should be available via the API.
(I am volunteering to write a patch to add this, if I can get enough guidance about the right way to do it.)
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

patch to add siprop=configsettings to meta=siteinfo
I only added 4 for now: $wgRateLimits, $wgRCMaxAge, $wgRightsIcon, $wgVersion. I am not sure which other ones are relevant and I wanted to avoid just adding virtually everything. Quite a few are also available indirectly through existing API modules.
Attached:
At first blush, the patch looks pretty good.
I wonder if it would be sensible to allow users to request specific configuration settings...
In future, we'll want to integrate this with some sort of on-wiki configuration system, like Configure.

Considered before and decided against (I think it was even committed and reverted).

I seem to recall Brion reverted a rev of mine exposing $wgRateLimits, I'll ask him about it. $wgVersion is already exposed by siprop=general .
As Chad has pointed out, this is an obvious duplicate of bug 17027, which Brion WONTFIXed. I apologize for not noticing/remembering earlier.
