Module talk:File link
Do we really need this?
@Mr. Stradivarius: We're going to have a library like this tied into PHP soon-ish. Are you sure it's worth building this one? Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:32, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
- @Jackmcbarn: Maybe not, if the PHP library also formats image wikilinks. Do you have a link to it? — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 02:35, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
- The WIP is at gerrit:67588, though there's not much to see there (most of the work is being done elsewhere in MediaWiki core). Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:38, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
- I don't see anything there that indicates an overlap - this module is about formatting the image wikitext, not about anything to do with file metadata. So the question is, would there be an overlap between the functionality in core and what I've written here? Or in other words, is the new Scribunto library aiming to format wikitext, or just to provide image data? — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 02:48, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
- I don't think there will be an overlap then. Carry on. Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:53, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
