WikiDB/Roadmap
From TestWiki
< WikiDB
This is an (incomplete) list of features and bugs that need fixing for v1.
Contents
Administration
- Update tables when page is moved.
- Update tables when page is deleted.
- Update tables when page is undeleted.
- (check that rollbacks work)
- 'What links here' should show templates that are included via data tags.
Syntax
- Better data syntax: Need to allow multiple rows in a single definition.
- Also, data definitions in a DB namespace shouldn't require the 'table' attribute (default to current).
- Repeat tag syntax: a lot of decisions need to be made before this can be finalised, but some specifics:
- Contents of repeat tag will be repeated for each row.
- Ability to have header/footer?
- Can't use > in attribute values, e.g. criteria="Field>Value", as it cripples parser. Need to decide how to specify criteria.
- Criteria syntax in general - how detailed can we get?
- Field names need to be limited to 255 chars (DB limit)
- Field names need to have leading underscores removed (Reserved for special uses)
Code Tidying
- Ensure all user-visible text uses the message cache.
- Add profiling statements.
Misc
- References to tables in table="..." attributes should follow redirects. This allows tables to be moved without screwing everything up!
- Special:UnusedTables to list tables that don't have any data (opposite of Special:UndefinedTables).
