[Bug 42986] VisualEditor: When users are adding external links to internal pages, ask them whether they want to add internal links instead
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42986 --- Comment #7 from Elitre elitr...@gmail.com --- Also, when users create a new article and want to link back to it immediately, they end up attaching ?venotify=created to the external link they're copy/pasting, and this is something VE will need to strip before converting the URL to a wikilink. -- 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=42986 Sage Ross rages...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added CC||rages...@gmail.com --- Comment #6 from Sage Ross rages...@gmail.com --- I think maybe it should just recognize when a url points to an existing Wikipedia article, and offer that as an internal link option, similarly to the way that you get an internal link option for the article titled [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/foo]]. That latter behavior represents a tiny edge case, though, as there are very few articles that start with http://. If there is ever going to be some sort of 'advanced' mode for links, then options to use external links to existing articles and internal links to articles starting http* should be hidden away there. In the vast majority of cases, users intend to create internal links if the article exists, and do not intend to create internal links to pages starting http*. Incidentally, we want to add the same functionality to the EducationProgram extension for when users paste in a url to the article form: bug 44397. -- 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=42986 --- Comment #3 from James Forrester jforres...@wikimedia.org --- (In reply to comment #2) Sometimes it is done deliberately, e.g. at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=English_Wikipediaoldid=558847653 . In that case, they do use olids (permalinks), which is a way you could distinguish if you wanted to do the auto-replacement. We could do an always-replace for [http://foo/wiki/* $1], but that feels like a fragile regexp. :-( -- 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
