--- Comment #13 from badon <[email protected]> 2012-02-19 20:01:55 UTC --- No, that isn't right. Special:RunQuery and Data Transfer are not equivalent. Here is a simpler breakdown: * Special:RunQuery can be safely used by anyone............Data Transfer can't. * Special:RunQuery can dynamically generate data...........Data Transfer can't. * Special:RunQuery can dynamically manipulate data.........Data Transfer can't. * Special:RunQuery can dynamically verify data.............Data Transfer can't. * Special:RunQuery can do anything that....................Data Transfer can't. I know Special:RunQuery pretty well, but I'm not 100% sure about Data Transfer, since I haven't used it. Maybe you're planning additional features for Data Transfer to cover these shortcomings, but haven't mentioned that yet? If you could be more specific about what you don't understand, I can tinker around maybe set up a demo or something to illustrate. What do you think about the possibility of adding the fully automatic page creation and editing feature to Special:RunQuery red links, versus adding the feature to #autoedit (or a new #fullautoedit)? -- 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
