Bug #: 39822
Summary: Special:Version should link to mediawiki.org release
notes in most cases
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.20-git
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Currently, Special:Version contains a series of gitweb links, which are
virtually useless to 99.9% of people who might happen upon the page.
Meanwhile, the release notes are nowhere to be found, even though we have
reasonable pages to link to:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.18
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.19
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.20/wmf1
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.20/wmf2
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.20/wmf3
[...you get the idea...]
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.20/wmf10
We already have a need to make the release notes more discoverable on Wikimedia
sites, and this is the perfect place to do it. Furthermore, it makes complete
sense for us to also have landing pages for any 1.20alpha, 1.20beta*, etc,
redirecting as appropriate to the main page.
Reedy has a start on this here:
