[Mediawiki-l] PATCH "last modified on .. by user(talk)" and "revision as of .. by user(talk)"

[Thomas Gries]

Coming from UseMod wiki software, where this information is always
present, I would like to introduce these patches in the coming versions
of MediaWiki:

to show and link who edited last the article (or revision)
==========================================================

(1) on every article's footer
"This page was last modified on .. (date) by userX(talk)"
=========================================================

For this patch the page MediaWiki:lastmodified needs to be
modified, add $2 and/or $3 if you wish to display the user and usertalk
information and links:

page MediaWiki:lastmodified
1.3.1 Original: "This page was last modified $1."
1.3.1 TG Patch: "This page was last modified $1 by $2 ($3)."


(2) on each article's revision page
"Revision as of .. (date) by userX(talk)"
=========================================

For this patch the page MediaWiki:revisionasof needs to be
modified, add $2 and/or $3 if you wish to display the user and usertalk
information and links:

page MediaWiki:revsionasof
1.3.1 Original: "Revision as of $1"
1.3.1 TG Patch: "Revision as of $1 by $2 ($3)"

The patch is for the modules Skin.php and Article.php of version 1.3.1;
the patch is ready and will be published soon.
