Summary: Intentional use of multiple DEFAULTSORT blocked
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14-svn
Platform: All
URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Category#Default_sort_
key
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Categories
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
If an article contains two DEFAULTSORT, for example one in a template and one
in the article, the second DEFAULTSORT overrides the first one. This was used
as a feature. For example: The article contains an Infobox template. The
template tries to set a "default" DEFAULTSORT. In rare cases this "default"
DEFAULTSORT is not perfect (especially when the article name contains umlauts).
A second DEFAULTSORT was added to these few articles and everything was fine.
This is still described as a feature at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Category#Default_sort_key
Now the second DEFAULTSORT triggers an ugly error.
Please remove this error. Or change the error message so it only appears if the
article source _without_the_templates_ contains more than one DEFAULTSORT.
