--- Comment #7 from badon <[email protected]> 2012-02-17 01:31:17 UTC --- It would be used in cases for large quantities of data entry where most or all of the data is identical. Here's an example (login with Demo/test): http://www.coincompendium.com/w/index.php/Special:RunQuery/Specimen_find?&Specimen_find%5BCertification+number+range+begin%5D=3495072-001&Specimen_find%5BCertification+number+range+end%5D=3495072-040&Specimen_find%5BType%5D=CCT1&Specimen_find%5BGrade%5D=69&Specimen_find%5BDesignation%5D=Ultra+Cameo&Specimen_find%5BCertified+by%5D=NGC&wpRunQuery=true That is a list of serial numbers that are supposed to have their own unique "CC1234567890" page. We have discovered instances where there can be as many as several thousand different serial numbers that need to be entered into their own pages, with all other information identical except for the serial number. Right now, we can use auto-edit links to manually click on them one at a time, and with enough people doing that, it seems to be getting done slowly. However, I have been told that some of the expert hobbyists have put together a few large lists of serial numbers that have already been verified, and are ready for data entry. Those could be automatically entered very quickly if auto creation of red links worked on Special:RunQuery. I can design that search results template to produce a red link just for that purpose. If you need any other information, let me know. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
