--- Comment #3 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #2) > Note: all wikis creating an "encyclopedia of something" use this feature, > and a Google search seems to find dozens millions results even outside > wiki[pm]edia.org and wikia.com, so of course this extension should be bundled > in the main release and release notes should have some very visible warning > about it. This note feels like bullshit. Do you have any evidence to support the claim that all encyclopedia-related wikis use this feature? (Links to specific non-Wikimedia wikis would be very helpful.) And which Google search produced millions of results? I looked through maybe twenty or thirty results from <https://www.google.com/search?q=%22MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage%22+-wikipedia> and almost all of them were un-customized (the default MediaWiki message) containing only "Template:disambig". The removal of this feature from MediaWiki core should be noted in the release notes, to be sure, but I see absolutely no evidence currently that this feature is widely used to the point that it should be bundled with MediaWiki, as you suggest. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
