Summary: Change Tags structure to use numeric IDs instead of text
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Currently the Tags core feature is using text names to refer to individual
tags. Referring to the tags using an ID number seems like a much better
solution overall.
It avoids typos or poor naming choices from being stored in the database
forever (and in the MediaWiki: messages). It also ensures cleaner database
results, allows for easier joining with other tables in the future (for outside
extensions), and avoids the general nastiness of allowing (apparently) any
character in the tag name, including question marks, quotation marks,
ampersands, etc.
Awaiting vociferous opposition and a rapid close.
