Bug #: 33413
Summary: "Pages with broken file links" category should not
appear in some namespaces
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Categories
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Recently, pages with broken file links are automatically put into
[[Category:Pages with broken file links]]. This would be very useful for
finding image problems in articles, but it is crippled by the large number of
non-content pages polluting the category. The following namespaces should not
be put into this category:
* all talk namespaces - lots of broken image links, mostly due to deleted
images in signatures; fixing them is a huge waste of effort
* Project namespace - used as a talk namespace, so it has the above mentioned
problem (this is Wikipedia-specific, other projects might use their project
namespace in different ways, so maybe there should be a configuration setting
for which namespaces to exempt?)
* User namespace - on many wikis it is conisdered bad manners to make
unrequested changes on someone's user page,
