--- Comment #3 from Happy-melon <[email protected]> 2009-04-12 15:51:36 UTC --- Only if you assume that the arrays are 'correct' and not an honest mistake by someone who thought the defaults above would 'shine through'. The same could be said of any bug: the only difference between a bug and a feature is that a bug wasn't expected behavior :D If the arrays are *supposed* to be like that why do they *all* contain the namespaces 1-11, even when they're set to the same as the WM and/or MW default, but only some contain the higher namespaces? Equally likely that they were initialised before we added the Help and Category namespaces and someone forgot to update the config when they were brought in. Given that there hasn't AFAIK been *any* discussion on the topic, at least on enwiki, what would have prompted them to be *explicitly* set away from the MW default (which is for subpages in all talkspaces)?? The situation makes no sense unless you consider the arrays to be incomplete, in which case they should be expanded with the MW default in the absence of community consensus to the contrary; right now they're been explicitly overridden *away* from the MW defaults for no reason. We're looking on VPT at enabling subpages in Help:, you're quite right that that's a change from the default which will need consensus and a site request. But I don't believe it's logically defensible to claim that the situation as it stands is the intended behavior, hence bug, not feature. I disagree with your close. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
