[wp-docs] RFC: New Global Variables page for the Function Reference

[Charles K. Clarkson]

Hello,

     I would like to add a new page to the Function Reference on the 
Codex about WordPress Global Variables. There are a few lists around the 
web, but no full list in the Codex documentation.

     I explain some of my reasoning in a rough draft [1]. Mainly I want 
to have a single location to point to from the Codex Function Reference 
pages for each global variable.

     The Source Code Documentation Parser (The Parser) will 
automatically add links to the appropriate sections of this page to most 
global declarations.

     Hopefully, this will allow programmers to add notes in the source 
code about a particular global variable usage while allowing the Codex 
to automatically refer to more detailed information about that variable.

     The Parser adds globals that are not defined by the Inline 
Documentation (probably because the programmer didn't think them 
important), but that are included in the function to the Codex Function 
Reference Page. So, there is a need for a good definition in the Codex.


     Is anyone else working on this?

     Can you see any room for improvement?


     The new page would reside at:
     http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/Global_Variables.
