Summary: Allow wikitext bracket tags to link to Wikipedia
articles
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Mailing lists
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: stv...@gmail.com
The idea of implementing wikilinks on the mailing lists has no doubt been
proposed before. They are just too useful and necessary, and will greatly
increase off-wiki-to-wiki integration.
I understand that mailing lists are generally plaintext, and that href links
will either show as links or else print as rough HTML code. For the archives at
least, display of [[Main Page]] and [[en:Main Page]] should very well go to the
site. For readers of HTML posts, conversion to href links should not be an
issue. Plaintext readers will see a little HTML but that shouldn't be a big
deal, and their browser will probably linkify the explicit link for them
anyway.
