--- Comment #237 from Bill Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-11-26 17:23:01 UTC --- (In reply to comment #236) > Which patch? To clarify what they are: "diff -u for includes/DateFormatter.php" This patch satisfies the ORIGINAL request for this ticket, which was to autoformat dates even when they're not marked up with link syntax. This was a BAD IDEA and this patch should NOT be applied under any circumstances (in fact I think it makes mistakes with some date ranges, because of the difficulty in identifying dates that lack markup.) "Simpler patch, just eliminates links" This patch could be applied if desired, because it works the same as the current autoformatting except that dates aren't linked, just formatted. Note that there is a vocal group on MOSNUM that is opposed to ANY date autoformatting, so this patch will probably not be acceptable to them. "Eliminates links, leaves date format untouched" This patch is the most likely to be applied, because it essentially nullifies date autoformatting. Dates that are marked up with regular link syntax ([[]] but NOT [[:]]) are left untouched -- no formatting change, no link. This patch does automatically what people like Tony, Lightmouse, et. al. are doing manually. Applying this patch would be the same as manually unlinking every [[]] linked date on WP, except that it would leave the markup in place for possible future use. "unlinks dates, preserves markup, uses Accept-Language for defaults (or DMY)" This patch should not be applied, because the squid cache makes it unworkable. -Bill -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
