Summary: Usage of internal links to file:
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14.0
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Keywords: parser
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: Images and files
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The internal wiki link to a file using the optional second parameter does not
yield expected results.
I do not currently see a bug listed in the bugzilla reports, assuming I was
searching properly: tried, for example, "File", "File:", "Links", "Internal
Links", "File Links", "Internal File", etc. I read through a lot of bugs but
nothing seemed to immediately address this particular issue.
Start with facts I know:
*General internal link usage:
**[[MyWikiPage]] //=> MyWikiPage
**[[MyWikiPage|My Page]] //=> My Page
**[[Media:MyMediaFile.png]] //=> Media:MyMediaFile.png
**[[Media:MyMediaFile.png|My File]] //=> My File
Anything from that list would produce an anchor and display what's shown after
the comment.
My concern is with the internal File: link. Now, I understand the File link is
a loaded feature; with the additional ability to size an image for display,
position, etc. I feel WM bugs out when the link does not link to a displayable
file (i.e., an image). As an example:
*Internal File: links:
**[[File:MyWikiFile.pdf]] //=> File:MyWikiFile.pdf
**[[File:MyWikiFile.pdf|My File]] //=> File:MyWikiFile.pdf
In the second example, I feel (to remain consistent with other internal links)
the anchor display text should be "My File" instead of "File:MyWikiFile.pdf".
I have to assume that since this is a rendering issue that it's all server side
processing, so I don't think that operating system and browser matter. But
just in case, XP Pro IE7.
