--- Comment #256 from Mr.Z-man <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-12-01 20:52:23 UTC --- We don't really seem to be getting anywhere here, I think at the least we need to summarize the options. Here's a list of the ones I've noted, some can be combined with others: 1. Remove date autoformatting entirely (rather than removing the option entirely from code, this could most easily be accomplished by setting $wgUseDynamicDates to false for enwiki) 2. Keep the current syntax, remove the links: [[date]] would continue to autoformat, but it wouldn't create a link, [[:date]] would continue to work as it currently does 3. Remove autoformatting and linking, "[[date]]" would be parsed as "date" - no link, no formatting 4. Create a new syntax for date autoformatting (a parser function, some new syntax, etc), [[date]] would work the same as any other normal link, [[:date]] would continue to work as it currently does 5. Wrap dates in a <span> for client-side customization with JavaScript 6. Change the default date format preference from "no preference" to something more sensible Option 1 would obviously be the simplest, though a combination of options 4, 5, and 6 would also remove most of the problems I think. I really don't care for option 2, and option 3 is pretty terrible IMO. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
