--- Comment #151 from Victor Vasiliev <[email protected]> 2012-02-25 11:09:05 UTC --- (In reply to comment #149) > I don't think injunctions like "Please don't change this unless you are a > developer." are very cool.

No, proper scripting language is certainly preferred to string functions in wikitext and I cannot imagine what must happen so we reconsider this. > And the previous "WONTFIX - please don't change" was predicated on a stray > remark by Tim Starling in a mail list. At WikiMania 2011 Tim changed his mind > several times on the best solution including Lua, parser functions, Victor's > scripting extension. Lua is an almost-final choice, made by consensus of WMF developers. Even if we change the language, the current plan is to develop infrastructure which is language-independent (so we can just plug in a different language backend without rewriting anything else). > Or maybe we should change this bug to "provide some form of string handling, > and soon" because otherwise we might have Lua kicking around for another 6 > years and still be no further forward. It's WMF engineering project now, and as far as I am aware the active work on it should begin shortly after 1.19 deployment and git migration. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
