Bug ID: 43928
Summary: 'Forward' column label is misleading - should reflect
database schema
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Interwiki (extension)
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
In the Interwiki extension, there is a 'Forward' column that represents the
'iw_local' column in the interwiki table. This is confusing, since 'forward'
isn't really any more meaningful to the average wiki sysop than 'local' -
having two different terms for the same thing just means that much more we have
to learn to map to the actual function.
The legend can handle explaining regardless of the particular name used here,
but the discrepancy between database and front-end representation adds
unnecessary confusion especially if a sysop won't always have access to this
extension.
