Has the board or WMF talked about / > addressed this issue anywhere in regards to "set" based filter systems? I don't know if they have, but it should be solvable in this system - something with creating a hash of the image name, and using the original name at some places and the hash at others. The list of images in a filter will have one, the html created when a page is looked at the other. I don't have the details all fleshed out, but it doesn't look too hard to do once one has decided that it's necessary. -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
