C) Many of the options are easy, Option 1 for example doesn't need a patch at all, its a matter of removing 1 line from the Wikimedia config files. Just because option 2 happens to have had code written for it first doesn't mean its the best option. D) I'm not entirely convinced its a good idea to use link syntax for a non-link. Category and Image links don't create normal links, but they do create links. E) I haven't tested it yet. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
