Summary: Liquid threads "search discussion" confuses people
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All

OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: LiquidThreads
AssignedTo: agarr...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: bawolff...@gmail.com
On wikinews we are getting some people trying to create pages of the form
[[n:Al shabaab ondiscussionpage:Comments:Somali opposition group al-Shabaab to
block WFP food aid]].
As far as i can tell, people go to the opinion page, [[n:Comments:Somali
opposition group al-Shabaab to block WFP food aid]], see the search discussion
box right beside the create a new discussion link. They assume that text box
is to start a new discussion, instead of search. They enter a title, hit enter,
go to search page which has the:
Create the page "Foo ondiscussionpage:Comments:Somali opposition group
al-Shabaab to block WFP food aid" on this wiki!
link.
They click that, thinking thats how you enter a comment. This causes problems
as thats not where we want people to create their comments.
