Updates to Mediawiker delete custom wiki entries in sublime-settings file.

[biggestsonicfan]

Greetings again. I initially posted my issue with a custom wiki in issue #171, however I had received an update to Mediawiker shortly after that. I have recently gone back to work on my wiki entries again and noticed that none of the Edit Panel functions were working. I thought that my issue regarding link suggestions was resolved, but in actuality, Mediawiker was not connected to any wiki at all.

My site_active settings remained the same, being TCRF, however a TCRF entry no longer exists due to the update. As such, Mediawiker threw no errors at all informing me of this, and simply silently failed at everything I tried to tell it to do, such any option in the Edit Panel that involves interacting with the wiki. The only error messages displayed where when I attempted to open a template for a new page, in which case this error was thrown:

  >>> Path to template does not defined, please set this via "new_page_template_path" option
  >>> Traceback (most recent call last):
  >>>   File "/home/rob/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/Mediawiker/mwcommands/mw_utils.py", line 762, in get_connect

So I guess I am wondering if I can define a site in the User folder so the site is not overwritten by updates.

It should also be noted that if the suggested fix #171 (comment) were implemented and changed "page_prefix_min_length": 100 it would be defaulted to "page_prefix_min_length": 3 after an update.

EDIT: After idling about in a .wiki file that I had previously used the "Open Page" function with, it now occasionally throws this error in the console:

  >>> Traceback (most recent call last):
  >>>   File "/home/rob/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/Mediawiker/mwcommands/mw_utils.py", line 762, in get_connect

Preferences/Package settings/Mediawiker/Settings opens two tabs with settings.

Default on the left side, User settings on the right.

[biggestsonicfan]

Correct. My defaults were overwritten. That is where the site variable is located. I had assumed this is where you add sites as variables such as "English wikipedia" and "Mediawiki" are located. Is this an incorrect assumption?

Is a second site variable supposed to be added to the user settings? If so there is no clear documentation on that.

EDIT: And as previously stated, if the defaults are overwritten, such as "page_prefix_min_length": 3 does that mean a second variable in the user settings will override the default?

[tosher]

All your settings, including site and any other, must be in the user-settings, default config must never be changed. User settings overrides defaults.

This scheme works in all ST plugins.

Huh, never knew that. Alright then.
