A PageData could contain:

  • The first and current versions of several Lua modules,
  • The history of mediawiki versions in each wiki to help coders to better describe new bugs,
  • The options for managing these exchanges: central or local, priorities of certain modules as main, structures used ...
  • Places to find translations i18n ...

These datas are related to the content of the page but not to the revisions.

From the question "how to name the central space and its shortcut?" we can ask 2 questions:

Rical added a comment to T121470: Central Global Repository for Templates, Lua modules, and Gadgets.

To try to solve the languages questions, I could propose a dedicated i18n table or even a strict rule.
In Central modules, see T135845, I use i18n tables to translate sentencies, which could be aproximative.
Here you probably need accurate translations in a dedicated i18n table.
My way to name modules in any wikis is:
Module:Central is for the central one.
Module:Central-s-fr is for fr.wikisource.org ... and so on.

@Uzume, first, thank your for your attention. You are right this new function is not accurately defined.
The keypoint is to give at Lua coders a simple and standardised way to acces all datas.
Probably many points are to discuss.
Labels, descriptions, sitelinks ... help Lua coders like true properties.
If a property as no value the function returns nil and the coder adapt the module.
For multiple value a table-sequence could replace a simple value, then coders can easy adapt their modules.
Also ranks could be add as arguments to select the admissible confidence need by the module, from RANK_PREFERRED to RANK_DEPRECATED?
Perhaps we could add a composite option argument to define ranks, snaks.
In snaks, ['Claims'] is necessary in the internal struture of the base but not for Lua coders.
In snaks, if the property P123 is repeated why ask the second at the Lua coders.
Do you known a better place to discuss all these and others questions?

Rical added a comment to T107595: [RFC] Multi-Content Revisions.

As assigned to T135845, I would use dedicated pages to exchange structured datas between several central or local Lua modules.
These pages could content:

  • the first and actual versions of several modules
  • the story of mediawiki versions in each wiki to help coders to better describe new bugs
  • the options to manage these exchanges: central or local, priorities of some modules as managers, used structures...
  • the places where find i18n translations...

Some minutes ago an other case happended in this diff.
As usual, I added a section after an other, then I can comment the new section.
But this time, that added also after my edit some lignes which do not appear in the diff. The first added is : ↑ (en) K.S. Jayaraman, « Cold fusion success in Japan gets warm reception in India », 27 mai 2008 : « a historic experiment...LENR has matured sufficiently...Prime Minister »
Perhaps in this case 3 direct links to web pages have "invite" the parser to add 7 other sources.
I do not correct the result until you see it.

Rical added a comment to T176362: Implement ClassNameTests in Scribunto to enhance central modules stability.

My motivation was to check all tests cases on each re-compilation, but in new conditions for each new use in new main modules, to enhanse the stability.
My implementation compare also tables, and any types, between case.result{ } and case.expect{ }.
Lua-coders cannot check hundreds of cases after each compilation. Only automatic repeats of tests are efficient.
Functions provide(), run()... are a good guide to structure tests.
Repeat all cases and report detected errors to lua-coders in p.tests(frame) mode seems a minimum to insure a good stability for central modules.
Then I continue in my strategy, with or whithout Mediawiki.

Create a page to permit each language seems to me very strange.
Another way could be to define the basic language of the wiki on the first line.
Then, on the second line, a list of all other languages to permit.
This way could permit to administrators to easy know or change this list without long researches.

Central modules implement:
~ Modes: read, edit, doc, tests... to choose some kinds of wikitext results.
~ Options: docdata, box1, catview... to adapt details of presentations.
~ Translatable in many languages, for arguments names and organisation of results.
~ Modes, options and languages are parametrables.
They could answer these propositions...
If you choose to transpose them in MediaWiki API,
or if your use central modules as wikitext generators for a part of MediaWiki API.
