The problem was introduced by the recent noextension patches.
Object autovivification caused junk to get into %htmlize,
and all keys of that showed up as page types.
I guess what's happening here is that since the name
is passed to git via an environment variable, perl's normal
utf-8 IO layer stuff doesn't work. So we have to explicitly
decode the string from perl's internal representation into
utf-8.
This makes wikis such as zack's much faster in the scan pass.
In that pass, when a template contains an inline, there is no reason to
process the entire inline and all its pages. I'd forgotten to pass
along the flag to let preprocess() know it was in scan mode, leading to
much unncessary churning.
- In 3.05, ikiwiki began expanding templates in scan mode,
for annoying, expensive, but ultimatly necessary reasons
of correctness.
- Smiley processing has a bug: It inserts a span for the smiley,
and then continues searching forward in the content for more,
starting at $end_of_smiley+1. Which means it searches for smilies
in the span too! And if it somehow finds one, we get an infinite loop
here.
- This bug can, probably, only be tickled if a htmllink to
show the smiley fails, because the smiley file doesn't exist,
or because ikiwiki doesn't know about it. In that case,
a link will be inserted to _create_ the missing page,
and that link will include the smiley inside the <a></a>.
- When a template is expanded in scan mode, and it contains
an inline, the sanitize hook is run during scan mode,
which never happened before. That causes the smiley processor
to run, before ikiwiki is, necessarily, aware that all
the smiley files exist (depending on scan order). So
it inserts creation links for them, and triggers the bug.
I've put in the simple fix of jumping forward past the inserted
span, and it does fix the problem. I will need to look in a bit
more detail into why an inline nested inside a template is
fully expanded during the scan pass -- that really shouldn't
be necessary, and it makes things much slower than they need
to be.
This is potentially expensive, but is necessary so that meta and tag
directives, and other links on templates affect the page using the template
reliably.
It no longer makes sense to keep these functions in editpage, because
serveral plugins now exist that use them, and users may want to disable
editpage, while leaving those plugins enabled.
Most notably, comments uses both functions, and it's entirely appropriate
to disable editpage but still want to have comments enabled.
Less likely, attachments, rename, and remove all use check_canedit -- but
it would be unusual indeed to want to use these w/o editpage.
Falls back to looking for shortcuts.mdwn for backwards compatabiity; there
probably exist wikis that have changed the pageext but still use
shortcuts.mdwn.
This may already work with other web servers that have copied apache's
interface, and it should be easy to add support to it for web servers that
use some other interface. So, make the name more general.
