--- Comment #262 from Gerry Ashton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-12-02 03:34:13 UTC --- VoyagerFan5761 asks why not do #7. Discussion on the English Wikipedia "Manual of Style (dates and numbers)" seems to be building a consensus to not do autoformatting, especially if non-logged-in readers do not benefit. If eventually autoformatting is no longer done, and gradually all autoformatting markup is removed, then someone who wants to link to an article about a date for some reason will have to use the odd syntax [[:February 30]], and since there will be few examples of autoformatting markup around, the reason for this odd syntax will not be apparent. This does not compare to the unusual syntax for images, because the current form of image linking does not seem to be going away. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
