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 or in a Docker container: bluespice/post-init-settings.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. PushToDraft possible values for TranslationTransfer:

• "regular" - page is pushed directly on the first translation, and to the "draftNamespace" on all next translations.
• "always" - page is always pushed to the "draftNamespace" after translation.

$GLOBALS['wgExtensionFunctions'][] = static function() {
    foreach( $GLOBALS['wgContentTransferTargets'] as $instanceName => $config ) {
        $GLOBALS['wgContentTransferTargets'][$instanceName]['pushToDraft'] = true;
    }
    foreach( $GLOBALS['bsgTranslateTransferTargets'] as $instanceName => $config ) {
        $GLOBALS['bsgTranslateTransferTargets'][$instanceName]['pushToDraft'] = 'regular';
        #$GLOBALS['bsgTranslateTransferTargets'][$instanceName]['pushToDraft'] = 'always';
        $GLOBALS['bsgTranslateTransferTargets'][$instanceName]['draftNamespace'] = 'Draft';
    }
};

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