--- Comment #4 from Krinkle <[email protected]> 2012-09-24 20:33:01 UTC --- @Jack_Phoenix and @Isarra: The reason I prefer not to fix it is because it should be removed from core. It is one of those features that apparently various extensions want to re-implement. That alone is imho enough reason to justify removing it from core, because when it is in core, the only way to properly re-implement it is to surpress the default implementation in an inefficient way. That mean the feature is useless, it means there are more ways to implement it. Yes, we should ship MediaWiki with a good implementation, and that is by default Vector's SimpleSearch (which is enabled by default as of the 1.20 bundle). Providing a generic implementation like mediawiki.legacy.mwsuggest that is not Vector-skin specific is perfectly justified, and I'm happy create a little extension that does just that. People that don't use Vector could install that, and it would do exactly what mwsuggest did in core. But then it should still be removed from core so that people can have a choice which implementation to install. -- 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. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
