Features

MergeArticles allows you to merge revisions of a wiki page.

If a page in BlueSpice farm is transferred to other wiki instances via the ContentTransfer extension or via BlueSpiceTranslationTransfer, the page can be saved in a draft namespace for further processing. Users then manually merge the page with an existing page revision.

Activation

Activation is done in LocalSettings.php.

Activating the draft namespace for all non-language wikis (i.e., wikis named DE, EN, NL, etc.)

$GLOBALS['wgExtensionFunctions'][] = static function() {
    foreach( $GLOBALS['wgContentTransferTargets'] as $instanceName => $config ) {
        if ( isset( $GLOBALS['bsgTranslateTransferTargets'][strtolower( $instanceName )] ) ) {
            // Skip language variant wikis
        continue;
    }
    $GLOBALS['wgContentTransferTargets'][$instanceName]['pushToDraft'] = true;
    }
};

Activating the draft namespace all wikis:

$GLOBALS['wgExtensionFunctions'][] = static function() {
    foreach( $GLOBALS['wgContentTransferTargets'] as $instanceName => $config ) {
        $GLOBALS['wgContentTransferTargets'][$instanceName]['pushToDraft'] = true;
    }
};

More info about working with the draft namespace can be found on the MergeArticles help page.
