--- Comment #1 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> 2012-04-22 22:33:30 UTC --- >From bug 1450 comment 24: --- Someone actually needs to write the rewrite rules.. I had some comments from Roan somewhere... Locally I've got RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/r/(.*)$ /w/index.php?title=Special:ShortUrl/$1 # RewriteRule ^/r/(.*)$ /wiki/Special:ShortUrl/$1 Not sure why I've got the 2nd one commented out, bug it'd make sense to use that format. After that's setup, the simple part is just enabling it on the target wikis It's been reviewed, and isn't actually ready for deployment, hence -shell, -need-review and added bug 33551 as a blocking bug --- >From bug 1450 comment 25: --- (In reply to comment #24) > Locally I've got > > RewriteEngine On > RewriteRule ^/r/(.*)$ /w/index.php?title=Special:ShortUrl/$1 > # RewriteRule ^/r/(.*)$ /wiki/Special:ShortUrl/$1 This seems to overlap with bug 16659 a bit and bug 17981 a bit. Basically, ops should be exceedingly cautious in adding new URL structures/schemes that will have to be supported indefinitely. I'd like Brion to weigh in, if possible. --- >From bug 1450 comment 26: --- As for the proposed prefix of "/r/", I'm not sure I like it; I'd prefer "/page/" or something myself, meanwhile using something like "/rev/" or "/revision/" would make sense for shortened version permalinks (with oldid). --- >From bug 1450 comment 29: --- (In reply to comment #26) > As for the proposed prefix of "/r/", I'm not sure I like it; I'd prefer > "/page/" or something myself, meanwhile using something like "/rev/" or > "/revision/" would make sense for shortened version permalinks (with oldid). As mentioned in some of the other bugs, a lot of people are pushing for URLs to be more localized, and this would be a step away from that. That is, "r" or "rev" only work in English, really. --- >From bug 1450 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). --- -- 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.
