Well, the extension itself is requested since URLs of non latin wikis get converted into percentage encoding like this :- http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AE%B5%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%80%E0%AE%9F%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%AF%E0%AE%BE:%E0%AE%86%E0%AE%B2%E0%AE%AE%E0%AE%B0%E0%AE%A4%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%9F%E0%AE%BF So I dont really see a case why people would want to localize this which would mean URLs get percentage encoded again. (In reply to comment #30) > Could make it something like /h/ so that everyone is confused equally > (although > personally i like /page/). I also agree that /r/ might not be the best due to > the association with revision (Especially given how things like svn use r1234 > for revision references). I dont mind /h/ or /m/ /l/ or whatever. Even /page/ is fine, but just that /<singlechar>/ would mean the url is also short (and hence faster to type on say mobiles) @MZMcBride, am sorry I couldnt find other comments why /r/ is less-than-ideal to stop this bug from moving? Can you please point them out? Can you also please point out what would be more ideal since few hundred communities are waiting for a way in which 'sane' URLs of their language wikis which are not percent-encoded, can be shared freely without annoying other people. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
