Doug <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Priority|Unprioritized |Low --- Comment #16 from Doug <[email protected]> 2012-04-12 21:42:40 UTC --- The original bug appears to be a special case of a general problem that has been well known for some time (more than a year) but apparently doesn't have a bug. That is the problem of skipping sections generally. <pages /> doesn't work if you skip either sections or pages, {{page}} works fine for full pages precisely because you have to list out every page. Although this is a pain if you have a frequent occurrence of this issue, that's the solution that ThomasV had recommended previously. This is, however, commonly a problem, anytime one encounters an intentionally blank page or has a book in which only the odd pages are in English, for example, and are being transcluded. But solutions to the general problem have been discussed on wiki and it can probably be dealt with using templates based {{page|}}. We may have even done it and I've forgotten where they are. Would Beau's solution to extend <pages /> also handle the sister case of odd or even pages? Part of the issue in the very specific case used in the bug report was created by choosing non-standard methods of formatting a complex work. There are viable workarounds that were discussed on IRC. But the general case of the bug is valid. -- 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
