Krinkle <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Krinkle <[email protected]> 2011-12-19 22:20:55 UTC --- Hm.. it would be an API bug if it the canonical goal behind appending text to a page is to create a new thread, or even to participate in discussion at all. However, for one, the header of an LQT-enabled page should be editable as well. And secondly, how can we distinguish from appending something to the last section and appending a new section ? Instead of appendtext, it should probably use text=...§ion=new, like the front-end. That would be closer to something that canonically means wanting to open a new discussion when used on a talk page. Theoratically a bot could be using text=..§ion=new to create a new section in the header of an LQT-enabled page, so we'd have to find a way to do that still. Perhaps MediaWiki should get an additional parameter (or different action/module alltogether) for participating in discussions and letting extensions override this ? By default it would implement a 'raw wikitext' discussion thread, which is just sections on a talk page. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
