The `preload` parameter currently does not work with i18n

do not exist. Resolve this by running any NS_MEDIAWIKI page
through wfMessage() first.
This feature will be used by Personalized praise in GrowthExperiments,
which requires the preload from i18n messages capability. As a benefit,
it also makes it easier to create i18n'ed preload-based systems

We want to be able to measure how backend performance changes
when we switch from RESTbase to calling Parsoid directly.
We expect to see a performance boost, in particular for
html/to/wikitext, since we avoid the network overhead.
Since we will make the switch by wiki, we need to be able to compare
the metric before vs. after for a single wiki. So, this adds the
wiki ID as a prefix to all existing metrics. Once fully rolled out,
we should get rid of the wiki prefix.
We will need to update the dashboard found at this url:

When receiving HTML from a VE session, process it with the same kind of

AutoConfig was used to set VE to call internal REST API endpoints exposed by the parsoid extension.

* DirectParsoidClient makes use of parsoid directly for performing
transformations on both wikitext and/or HTML contents.
* Also, it's used to fetch HTML from parsoid's parser cache. Before,
this operation was done via RESTBase but now it's being fetched in
core's parsoid parser cache.
* This patch also enables VE clients to transform HTML to
Wikitext when switching from HTML to source mode on. It
makes use of the HtmlInputTransformHelper to perform this
transformation.
* Now, VE client can make use of core code for switching
between HTML to source mode and back without RESTBase.

Visual Editor currently requests MediaWiki DOM version 2.0.0
when talking to Parsoid. Since Parsoid treats that as a request
for 2.4.0, its current version, and Parsoid doesn't have a
2.4.0->2.0.0 downgrade path, passing the latest Parsoid version
(2.4.0) should make no difference in practice -- but would better
match current reality.

Now that Parsoid's ServiceWorkers have been merged to core, this adds
support for "zero configuration Visual Editor" to the master branch.
Like earlier zero-conf work, this does not use RESTBase for stashing

this implementation should have feature parity with the "loopback interface"

Parsing it in the RL module caused the module cache key to depend

approach for solving this (I206bb05d28) can't be used, because of

Generate the message for the correct page title. MediaWiki allows
customizing it per-namespace or even per-title, which we haven't

Instead of using an object mapping namespace ids to if they have
subpages enabled or not, pass an array of the namespaces where
subpages are enabled, reducing the size of the configuration that
gets loaded on all requests. Only requires a minor update to the
JavaScript that uses the value (check for array index instead of
object value).

For readability. The current implementation is a sequence of
7 (!) array_…() function calls. It is also not free from bugs.
If one of the two inputs (ExtensionRegistry and Config) specifies
namespaces by e.g. canonical name, but the other by number,
the two are not properly merged. It should be possible to use
configuration to disable a namespace that would otherwise be
enabled. This currently works only if both use the same array
keys.

$wgNamespacesWithSubpages can include namespaces that
don't exist, no need to add them to the JavaScript configuration.

This was removed in I44ee0014ac50c9c5dc66543dcd045dd5a81ce37c.
This basically partly reapplies I844db115f2563cb9ee1629c30d5f49d1ce58f5bd.

Specifying it as such creates a 0 based index for what is a single value
property. This wasn't noticed before because I6b81ea318f52e accessed the
request object directly instead of using $params. See also
I3baa1ebb66559 for how this bug manifested in GrowthExperiments.

Change-Id: Ife8350d1cea79fc1dd6f3cb040a7801b9fe6db91
What:
Add a hook that runs before a save attempt is made in
ApiVisualEditorEdit. The hook receives the same data available in
ApiVisualEditorEdit, and implementations of the hook can modify the API
response.
Why:
VE plugins may send additional data when saving an edit, and extensions
might want to prevent the save from taking place based on that
additional data.
See for example the AddLink plugin in Ic8225933c9, where the save is
blocked if link suggestions don't exist in the database at save time.

These don't add any knowledge but make the code harder to read
and maintain, and are an additional source of errors.

* Mismatching capitalization.
* Unused pieces of code.
* Properties that can be constants.
* Use $this->getConfig() in special pages.

This allows using the config variable independendly from the cirrus search extension.
This way it can be used for all subtickets of T271802.

What:
Add hook that runs after a save attempt is made in ApiVisualEditorEdit.
The hook receives the same data available in ApiVisualEditorEdit, and
implementations of the hook can modify the API response.
Also introduce templated
parameters (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Templated_parameters) in
the API parameters; this allows plugins to pass arbitrary data along
with their request using e.g. plugins=linkrecommendation&data-linkrecommendation=foo
Add ServiceWiring files, a PHP namespace, and a HookRunner class to
support the above changes.
Why:
VE plugins may wish to send additional data when saving an edit and take
action based on that data on the server-side. See for example the
AddLink plugin in I7a052f8e which sends annotation data, and then uses
the new hook to perform a database operation.

Otherwise, the global context is used (RequestContext::getMain()),
which is undesirable when you're building a rubegoldbergian
contraption and we're already inside an internal action API request
with a fake context.
