Bug #: 40666
Summary: 'version-poweredby-others' message should not link to
MediaWiki CREDITS file
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: ---
I disagree with this change, from July:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/13558/
The message 'version-poweredby-others', which shows up when you add '...' to a
list of authors in $wgExtensionCredits, was changed from just reading "others"
(in English), to being a link to the MediaWiki CREDITS file. This makes sense
for core MediaWiki, of course, but it doesn't make any sense for extensions -
and many extensions use that '...' notation. I believe the change should be
reverted, and the linking should instead be done in whatever code specifically
handles the display of core MediaWiki credits in Special:Version.
