Description

MW1.25alpha
Collection (trunk)

Licensing information is not populated into PDFs from the Download as PDF left nav link, or from Book Creator. I've confirmed that I have correctly set the license variables:

$wgLicenseName = "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license";
$wgLicenseURL = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License";

I also set both variables to null as a test to see if the RightsText and RightsUrl variables would default, but they did not.

Retested this today with MW 1.25alpha (579d6e7) and Collection 1.7.0 (97bcf26) 21:07, 2 March 2015 and got the same result. That is, no License information in PDFs rendered using the left nav Download as PDF link, and the text License: unknown in rendered Books.

Still an issue?

In PDFs, license info comes from the printfooter, which for wikimedia introduces wikimedia-copyright message, but that is an override of the defaults

The messages the user should have been looking at are traceable to here : https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/core/ /d061c27f45491d8364fea52736645753e4b535b2/includes/skins/Skin.php#827

So:

wgRightsPage
wgRightsText
wgRightsUrl
wgRightsIcon

Ergo, this was never a bug..

TheDJ closed this task as Declined.Jun 4 2019, 1:54 PM

TheDJ changed the task status from Declined to Invalid.

Correction, this was a pure Collection report of course, not the newer PDF rendering.

In that case the right variables would have been:
$wgCollectionLicenseName and $wgCollectionLicenseURL per
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Collection/blob/master/extension.json#L174

Closing as obsolete - Collection PDF export functionality has been dead for years.
