--- Comment #21 from Van de Bugger <[email protected]> 2012-02-14 19:25:49 UTC --- Mark, Why didn't you ask for the most important blocker first? You requested parser tests — I wrote them, but the final destination for test was a trash bin, because of "a weird-looking syntax and modifies the preprocessor (always a dangerous step)". Then I throw away my first implementation, and proposed a new one -- a new hook, one-line patch, to let me implement my weird-looking syntax as an extension, so my weird-looking syntax is not a problem because it is not a part of MediaWiki anymore. You requested hooks.txt. I wrote hooks.txt just to get know that you think this stuff is not really wanted by anyone. Why didn't you request the most important thing — RFC from the very beginning? Why did you ask for parser test, hooks.txt, $this without ampersand? -------------------------------------------------- Off-topic: > The response I got was that this wasn't really something that anyone wanted. Err... Do you know something real that anyone wanted? (Immortality and tax-less life are not real.) Many people think Wikipedia is a trash created by lamers, so even Wikipedia is *not* a thing that *anyone* wanted. My awkward <dws/> is wanted by two persons. Not too bad for one-line hurtless patch. -------------------------------------------------- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/New_hook:_ParserBeforePreprocess Message to wikitech-l sent. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
