Brian McNeil <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Brian McNeil <[email protected]> 2012-09-08 10:46:44 UTC --- >From the point of view of Wikinews' requirements, this is a "kludge" that would address a problem we have: Say Commons has [[File:Spread of Zombie Apocalypse.png]] and, country by country, people are developing a taste for brains. If we publish an article [[n:Zombies reported in Paris]], including this file, then someone looking at that article should always see the version where France has just been coloured-in as infected. If, later on, we publish [[n:New Zealand last Zombie-free nation]], then the file included there should be the more-current version leaving that as the only country not coloured in. Unless there are far more-complex requirements that justify use of the External images parameter, I would suggest the appropriate solution is to have another parameter within [[File: ]] which accesses the version in-place on a specific date. Thus: [[File:Spread of Zombie Apocalypse.png|date=2012-11-01|...]] could be used in one Wikinews article, and [[File:Spread of Zombie Apocalypse.png|date=2012-12-21|...]] in a later article. That isn't really a bug, but a feature request - and seems far more logical than mucking about with the external images parameter. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
