Summary: Set $wgDisableHardRedirects = false; on
wikimediafoundation.org
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: shell
Severity: trivial
Priority: Normal
Component: Site requests
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: b...@mzmcbride.com
According to http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/CommonSettings.php.txt
$wgDisableHardRedirects is set to "true" for all Wikimedia wikis.
This setting prevents redirects to Special pages, among other things. For
example, http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Comments doesn't redirect properly
currently.
This global setting in Wikimedia's configuration file is contrary to the
default setting for a MediaWiki install. On a fishbowl wiki like
wikimediafoundation.org, it shouldn't be an issue to set
$wgDisableHardRedirects = false;.
It probably wouldn't be an issue to do it for all private/fishbowl wikis, but
that's not as much of a concern (to me, at least).
