As confusing as it is that some actions are special pages and other actions are WikiPage Actions, at least we don't have one redirecting to the other. I don't think just adding these redirects will achieve any gain other than it being slightly easier to type in wikitext. As for external links, urls should be stable enough. There's already been talk about phasing out interwiki prefixes in favour of external links (something I would support). (In reply to comment #14) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/ Drop_actions_in_favour_of_page_views_and_special_pages seems rather dead. True, but I think if we're spending any more time on this, let's spend it on that instead. (In reply to comment #14) VE is interesting because some users go to ?veaction=edit instead of ?action=edit. I'm not sure there's an easy way to handle this, will think about it. I think we should have something like ?editor, which would default based on preference. So linking to action=edit would show the default editor for you. And editor=visualeditor, editor=wikieditor or editor=classic would show one of VisualEditor HTML editor, WikiEditor wikitext editor or classic toolbar wikitext editor respectively. And most links should link to action=edit without an editor parameter, thus showing whatever the canonical default is for the current user or wiki. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11456 --- Comment #13 from MZMcBride b...@mzmcbride.com --- (In reply to comment #12) Change 96170 had a related patch set uploaded by Legoktm: Add Special:Edit and Special:History which redirect to their action equivalents https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/96170 This is probably controversial. Some people have strong views about whether we should move toward Special pages or ?action= URLs. And for both options, there are differing views about implementation: for example, Special:Action/edit/page_title or wiki.org/edit/page_title. Plus we now have complicating factors like Wikidata and VisualEditor and Flow to consider, where an edit means something almost entirely different. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l

Some people have strong views about whether we should move toward Special pages or ?action= URLs. And for both options, there are differing views about implementation: for example, Special:Action/edit/page_title or wiki.org/edit/page_title. This patch just adds in redirects, so users still go to ?action=edit. Even if Special:Action/edit/Foo became the eventual destination, you would want Special:Edit/Foo to end up there. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Drop_actions_in_favour_of_page_views_and_special_pages seems rather dead. I even named the classes SpecialEditRedirect instead of SpecialEdit in case we decide to make it a special page in the future. Plus we now have complicating factors like Wikidata and VisualEditor and Flow to consider, where an edit means something almost entirely different. True. I think those are edge cases though, and don't make the special pages less useful for wikis/pages not using Wikibase/Flow.
