RFCs to triage

• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Refactor_on_File-FileRepo-MediaHandler
  • Probably can be accepted. Maybe we can prod the multimedia team for an implementation?
    • Mark Holmquist said in Scrum of Scrums this morning that the multimedia team is shifting to UploadWizard work soon, for what that's worth
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Drop_actions_in_favour_of_page_views_and_special_pages
  • I think this was filed prior to the author's rewrite of the action system. Not sure if he believes in it anymore.
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Itemise_protection
  • File under admin tools and send to Chris Steipp?
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Regex-based_blacklist
