27 * Interface for objects which can provide a MediaWiki context on request
29 * Context objects contain request-dependent objects that manage the core
30 * web request/response logic for essentially all requests to MediaWiki.
31 * The contained objects include:
32 * a) Key objects that depend (for construction/loading) on the HTTP request
33 * b) Key objects used for response building and PHP session state control
34 * c) Performance metric deltas accumulated from request execution
35 * d) The site configuration object
36 * All of the objects are useful for the vast majority of MediaWiki requests.
37 * The site configuration object is included on grounds of extreme
38 * utility, even though it should not actually depend on the web request.
40 * More specifically, the scope of the context includes:
41 * a) Objects that represent the HTTP request/response and PHP session state
42 * b) Object representing the MediaWiki user (as determined by the HTTP request)
43 * c) Primary MediaWiki output builder objects (OutputPage, user skin object)
44 * d) The language object for the user/request
45 * e) The title and wiki page objects requested via URL (if any)
46 * f) Performance metric deltas accumulated from request execution
47 * g) The site configuration object
49 * This class is not intended as a service-locator nor a service singleton.
50 * Objects that only depend on site configuration do not belong here (aside
51 * from Config itself). Objects that represent persistent data stores do not
52 * belong here either. Session state changes should only be propagated on
53 * shutdown by separate persistence handler objects, for example.
