There are some kind of changes to the underlying repository
|
||
|
|
which can't be made through the web interface:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* changes to files outside the wiki, to locked pages;
|
||
|
|
* advanced RCS operations such as merge, move, copy or del;
|
||
|
|
* changes you're not confident enough to apply outright.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course in these cases, you can add your request to a discussion page
|
||
|
|
and wait for someone with the access/confidence to apply them.
|
||
|
|
Maybe this can be enhanced with a [[PreprocessorDirective]]:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
\[[suggest op=merge dstfile=trunk srcfile=branches/jk oldrev=1234 newrev=1342]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\[[suggest op=move srcpage=/blog dstpage=/blog_support]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\[[suggest patch="""
|

|
|

These would expand to a description of the changes to be effected, a toggleable diff
|
||
|
|
of them if appropriate, and of course an "apply theses changes" button.
|
||
|
|
Ultimately my planned [[review_mechanism]] would manage pages with such directives
|
||
|
|
by itself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm still uncertain about many things, so please anyone feel free to comment.
|
||
|
|
Specifically:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* What would an optimal syntax look like?
|
||
|
|
* Do I need to / should I define a new rcs_ function to handle such operations?
|
||
|
|
* Would it be acceptable for an ikiwiki module to use temporary file (ie. to calculate diffs)?
|
||
|
|
* Should the diff be calculated at page build time (which means the page should be rebuilt
|
||
|
|
whenever a target file changes), or should the CGI be used when someone requests it?
|
||
|
|
* Would it be possible to detect already applied changes (without extra state, that is),
|
||
|
|
and propose to "revert changes" in that case?
