Context[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
Vikidia has several languages, running independent Mediawiki instances and database. Thus, every user has a different account on every Vikidia. It complicates users working on several languages.
Wikipedia had similar problems at the beginning. They developed the CentralAuth extension. It was followed by a procedure for merging accounts, and resolving conflicts.
Challenges[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
- Move all localsettings to $wgConf (at this step, a first merge request can be done to avoid further conflicts).
- Create a database central
- Configure settings
- Tests to be done:
- Create a new account, and use it on another Vikidia
- Way of resolving conflicts (two different accounts)
- Test of two old account merged
- Write the procedure for deploy and the communication manual
Deliverable[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
- A merge request respecting general coding guidelines
- Deployed on a test server (provided by Vikidia), where we can validate fix
- A procedure to deploy it in production, and a manual on how to run the community communication.
Excluded[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
- Deploy in production is not expected for this proposal.
Comments[modifier | modifier le wikicode]
Very high complexity project.
- installation of CentralAuth first needs an update of LocalSettings in a new format. This part can be a separate project.
