380348 - Create new RDF-based title-override mechanism

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Since we're not using RDF for our upcoming breadcrumb system, we should look at leveraging that to implement title-override.

This new title-override should also be able to override the main article title, not just the one in the breadcrumbs.

Adding a template of the form {{titleOverride|new title here}} should insert an RDF entry for the page; then, when rendering pages, we should check for that entry and use it for the page title and breadcrumbs as applicable.

Since we _are_ using RDF... got me confused for a bit.

"now using"?

We need to take care that we don't end up with the ghost-override problem we had before, where removing the TO indicator doesn't remove the TO entry in the database. I don't know how the RDF arc management works; removing the TO arc at the very beginning of the save process would likely work.

(As long as the TO template is processed at save time, and not just parse time, that is!)

Oops.  That was supposed to be "now using," yes.

The RDF gets updated automatically any time you save an edit to a page (this is done already), so if you remove a T-O, saving the page will remove the RDF from the database.

Invalid now that we're on Deki.
