Michael M. <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #17 from Michael M. <[email protected]> 2011-12-23 10:44:06 UTC --- As I already mentioned in CR as an author of user scripts I depend in some way on the fact that the javascript code is also parsed as wikitext. Just this week I updated one of my scripts in a not-100-%-backwardscompatible way, so I had to inform the users of my script about the changes. With the "What links here" function this was no problem. To remove this means that an author of users scripts has no simple way to find out who is using his scripts. By looking at random .js user pages you will find that I'm not the only one who makes use of this feature, without looking much around I found [[User:Ale jrb/Scripts/igloo]] which asks users to include the backlink in a comment. One of my scripts I don't want to show up in Google, so I put __NOINDEX__ in it - this change makes this not to work any longer. When a script causes links that shouldn't be there, you just have to put a <nowiki> inside a comment at the beginning. And not parsing the script as wikitext makes it possible to circumvent Extension:SpamBlacklist and possibly other anti-spam-extensions, as I pointed out in CR. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
