plain)
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]]:
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?
