Sven Manguard <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Sven Manguard <[email protected]> 2011-11-26 18:05:16 UTC --- Thanks. A few technical issues to resolve: 1) If this is implemented, will it be implemented for all projects or just for English Wikipedia at first? 2) Will there be a grandfather clause built into the change, so that only files uploaded after the change is made will be effected, or will there be no grandfather clause? My preference would be to start with only English Wikipedia, because I have no way of getting the message to the other projects, and to grandfather old files in, because while they'll get taken care of anyways (see below), I don't want to risk things breaking. I'll note that a big push happened a few months back to try to knock out, on the English Wikipedia at least, all instances of 'largely duplicitive file names', which is what this issue has become known by. It's been moderately successful, but a few hundred remain, in part because there was no need to do it, and there are so very many other things that need doing in the namespace. If there's any chance that this is going to get worked on soon, please post it here, and I'll spread the word to the people that worked on the first effort. We can get the number of instances down to zero in a few days or weeks. (Irregardless of if its needed or not, we'll still do it once this thread starts seeing action from devs, because it's the excuse we need to fix the damned problem.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
