Summary: Special:NewFiles should use unambiguous browsing links
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The links to gallery pages of additional files are marked as "next" (for older
files) and "previous" (for newer files). This makes them highly ambiguous. Like
on Special:NewPages "older" and "newer" should be used.
The english version isn't the only one affected. On de, it is even worse:
Spezial:NeueSeiten has older = "vorherige" and newer = "nächste", whereas
Spezial:Neue Dateien uses older = "nächste" and newer = "vorherige", thus
being in direct contradiction.
Similar issues seem to be present in more lnaguages (all given in the order
newer / older):
fr: Spécial:Nouvelles pages has plus récentes / plus anciennes,
Spécial:Nouvelles images has précédentes / suivantes
es: Especial:PáginasNuevas has siguientes / anteriores,
Especial:NuevasImágenes has previas / siguientes
nl: Speciaal:NieuwePaginas has nieuwere / oudere,
Speciaal:NieuweBestanden has vorige / volgende
pl: Specjalna:Nowe strony has nowszych / starszych, Specjalna:Nowe pliki has
poprzednie / następne
...
I am filing this as a software issue because I strongly suspect that all
gallery pages use the same words, without regard to the attribute they are
ordered with.
