Description Sam Reed (reedy) 2011-11-24 15:54:21 UTC
According to the OBSOLETE file [1] in SVN, Oversight/HideRevision was made obsolete in core itself in 1.16, and was supposed to be deleted from the repo at 1.17

Is there any reason we can't just disable it?

Do we need to do any config migration (Aaron?)?

Or is it enough just to remove "require( "$IP/extensions/Oversight/HideRevision.php" );" from CommonSettings.php?

Does WMF even have revision delete enabled?
Comment 2 p858snake 2011-11-26 11:52:13 UTC
I believe its not as simple since we still have all the old over sighted entries that may need to be accessed (unlikely) one day, Although I do believe we have removed the rights globally so no one can actually oversight new materials.

I believe there was talk at one stage of doing a conversion to revdel for the old contents but that was never done because we couldn't decide what levels it should be revdel'ed under (bleh, just do it as the crat levels) and possibly (but I don't remember 100%) a format issue with how they are stored and couldn't be converted into the revdel table format or something.

Yes, It's what is used now.

The Oversight extension has no way to un-oversight revisions anyway. So disabling shouldn't make a difference. As long as the hidden table is kept, nothing should be lost, right? And then hopefully eventually it can be converted to RevDel.

Bug 18598 was closed, hence unless new blockers pop up this is ready for execution.

Not really, only after bug 60373 is resolved, which may take a while.

Meh, that's a duplicate in practice. And not even properly tagged. Fixing.
