John Broughton <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from John Broughton <[email protected]> --- Google translate didn't turn Comment 2 into anything meaningful for me, so here are four alternative solutions, which could be implemented in the software, one or more of which may already have been suggested above (in Polish). In articlespace (only): 1. The software adds an administrative category, "Articles with wikilinks to redirect pages", when an article is saved that has one or more problematical links. 2. Links to redirect pages are shown in yellow, both when previewing an edit and after saving the page. (With VisualEditor, the yellow coloring would appear immediately after typing the wikilink, which is ideal.) However, the editor can save the page with the (problematical) wikilink still on it. 3. The software issues a warning when an editor tries to save a page with a link to a redirect page, but allows the editor to override this. (Problem wikilinks need to be highlighted, of course.) 4. The software issues a warning when an editor tries to save a page with a link to a redirect page, and prevents the editor from overriding this. (Problem wikilinks need to be highlighted, of course.) Alternatives #1, #2, and #3 are compatible; all could be implemented together. Alternative #4 is problematical in that an editor who is doing a minor change might be blocked from saving that change even though he/she had nothing to do with creating the wikilinks that go to redirects, and he/she may not understand how to correct this. (Think of a relatively new editor, or an IP editor.) Implementing #1 would be invisible to the reader; #2 might cause a bit of confusion. *** Or someone could just create a bot that notifies editors that they've made a mistake with their wikilink - as does DPL bot, for links to disambiguation pages. *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
