Currently many users of MediaWiki are unable to use the maintenance scripts due to their hosts not providing shell or telnet access - I myself have this problem. I am writing to ask your opinions on creating a special page (or series of special pages) to combat this problem. I could implement it as a special page in which users fill out a form and it performs the task. This would be the best solution because having multiple special pages would clutter the list and probably only one user would be using it. Although it could easily be implemented as an extension I think that if it could be accessed via a single wg setting users would not come to the mailing lists and IRC channel asking about how they can do such a thing and improve the user experience. Yours, Robert. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
