Tolerated, but need an alternative
[edit]These should be changed to not be newable, but alternatives need to be created first. Direct constructor usage will have to go though deprecation.
includes/ApiMain.php - needs factory
includes/media/BitmapMetadataHandler.php - should become a stateless service or use handler pattern
includes/GitInfo.php - should become a stateless service
includes/logging/LogPage.php - should become a stateless service or use command pattern
includes/logging/ManualLogEntry.php - should become a stateless service or use command pattern
includes/poolcounter/PoolCounterWorkViaCallback.php - needs a factory
includes/context/RequestContext.php - needs to be narrowed down, and should use a factory
includes/search/SearchHighlighter.php - should have a factory
includes/TitleArrayFromResult.php - should perhaps be part of TitleFactory
includes/user/User.php - should at least get a factory method for anons
includes/diff/Diff.php: needs a TextDiffGenerator service or a factory
includes/EditPage.php: needs a factory
DiffFormatter may need services, but the caller usually wants to control the specific type. Each could be a service, or we could have a registry for them.
includes/diff/ArrayDiffFormatter.php
includes/diff/UnifiedDiffFormatter.php
includes/diff/TableDiffFormatter.php
includes/diff/InlineDiffFormatter.php
Classes instantiated by extensions that should not be
[edit]Alternatives exist for:
includes/CommentStoreComment.php: FileImporter should use a factory method or mocks when constructing CommentStoreComment in tests.
includes/Revision/SlotRecord.php: Wikibase should use a factory method or mocks when constructing SlotRecords in tests.
includes/Title.php: several extensions need a better way to represent no title.
includes/cache/LinkBatch.php: several extensions should use LinkBatchFactory instead.
includes/interwiki/Interwiki.php JsonConfig: FauxInterwikiLookup
includes/page/Article.php: several extensions should use Article::newFromTitle instead.
includes/page/WikiPage.php: several extensions should use WikiPage::factory instead.
maintenance/includes/FakeMaintenance.php: OpenIDConnect needs to find a better way to run a maintenance script.
includes/filerepo/LocalRepo.php: some extensions should use RepoGroup instead.
includes/MovePage.php: several extensions should use MovePageFactory instead.
includes/parser/Parser.php: several extensions should use ParserFactory instead.
includes/parser/ParserOptions.php: several extensions should use one of the static factory methods instead.
