790209 - Kuma: KumaScript - Add a log of template errors

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

It would be helpful to have a log of template errors and the pages on which they occur, so that editors could go in and fix incorrect template usage. For example, old pages that are nesting templates, that kind of thing.

Not everyone is good about reporting these when they occur, and we know there are lots of them out there still.

Ideally this would not report errors that occur when previewing pages, in order to avoid dumping errors into the log while we're experimenting with templates or drafting pages.

Some error reports from one of our users:

All transient errors that seem to go away after a shift-refresh; but these are on templates that have never been trouble before.

Some errors that I encounter during the translation (mainly the arguing for spaces around templates where there was no point for such spaces). It did disappear after some refresh.

Here is another one, not looking really different from the previous ones.

From now on, I'll paste a new log only if it seems to have new errors in it.

We have this now (per language). We even did a session to solve a lot of these (en-US, de and fr).
