Bug ID: 48034
Summary: Option to disable 'Treat signature as wikitext
(without an automatic link)'
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The Danish Wikipedia is currently undergoing a discussion about either
a) introducing a policy with certain requirements to the signature, or
b) technically limiting to only standard signatures (as defined per
MediaWiki:Signature).
However b) doesn't seem to be an option right now, as we would like it to be
done retroactively (reverting all current signatures to standard).
As far as I can see, the solutions in
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33944 and
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15160 wouldn't give the intended
output, as it would prevent users with existing non-standard signatures to
revert. The later was closed with WONTFIX (new core ability), however this was
in 2008 and things might have changed since.
While we appreciate the arguments given in
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1491 (that the signature can't
do anything that people can't type themselves), the option of supporting the
policy with a technical limitation seems like a good idea.
