Description Chad H. 2007-02-16 19:46:18 UTC
Even without having the +sysop permission, when you click on a URL (such as the
one provided), it will display the text "View or restore deleted edit(s)?," but
only when a filename has been passed through the URL; such as in this example,
with $wpDestFile=Bla.jpg. While clicking on it does return a "Admin only" page,
wouldn't it be better to not display that text at all? When I get to my
MediaWiki installation at work, I'll try to write up a patch and post it here.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2007-02-17 00:48:27 UTC
This seems to be produced by a bad template hack on en.wikipedia.org:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Uploadtext

If the code produced the link itself, it would be able respond more appropriately.
Comment 2 Chad H. 2007-02-17 16:05:21 UTC
It would make more sense to have MediaWiki generate that and not a template.
Although, what about the idea of adding a ParserFunction for "ifadmin?"
Comment 3 Daniel Kinzler 2007-02-17 16:20:35 UTC
outputting/omitting text based on user groups can not work with parser cache
enabled. the only possibility i see would be to attach css-classes representing
user groups to the <body> tag. For example, sysops would have the group-sysop
class set there. you could then apply a class like sysops-only to a section of
text, and define styles for those classes in MediaWiki:common.css, to the effect
that the text is hidden to everyone but sysops.
Comment 4 Chad H. 2007-02-17 16:25:22 UTC
That could work, but I suppose that'd only help for situations when you'd want
it within a template or something. In this particular situation, I think that
this text should be moved to MediaWiki and out of a template.
Comment 5 Rob Church 2007-02-17 17:59:22 UTC
* Don't use CSS to change the *meaning* of a page
* It makes sense to introduce the link through software
Comment 6 Rob Church 2007-08-22 08:56:09 UTC
Fixed in r25042, r25043.
