WikiDB/Roadmap

This is an (incomplete) list of features and bugs that need fixing for v1.

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)

Misc

• References to tables in table="..." attributes should follow redirects. This allows tables to be moved without screwing everything up!
