cenarium 70e14ebaeb Store references in page_props and cache 
This stores references in page_props during links update in
compressed JSON form. If the size is too big, it's broken up
in several parts to fit, which is very unlikely to occur more
than once.

When the data is retrieved from the db, it's always cached. If
set in config, it's also saved in the cache on parse. If not,
the cache is invalidated when references are modified.

Uses cases include : section preview to also show refs defined
elsewhere on the page (T124840) and MobileFrontend (T123328).
For the later, this still needs API support (T123290).

There's a soft dependency on the core change

Cite

The Cite extension provides a way for users to create references as footnotes to articles.

See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite for detailed documentation.

Configuration

  • $wgCiteStoreReferencesData: If set to true, references are saved in the database so that other extensions can retrieve them independently of the main article content.
  • $wgCiteCacheReferencesDataOnParse: ($wgCiteStoreReferencesData required) By default, references are cached only on database access. If set to true, references are also cached whenever pages are parsed.
