Sage Ross <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #6 from Sage Ross <[email protected]> --- I think maybe it should just recognize when a url points to an existing Wikipedia article, and offer that as an internal link option, similarly to the way that you get an internal link option for the article titled [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/foo]]. That latter behavior represents a tiny edge case, though, as there are very few articles that start with http://. If there is ever going to be some sort of 'advanced' mode for links, then options to use external links to existing articles and internal links to articles starting http* should be hidden away there. In the vast majority of cases, users intend to create internal links if the article exists, and do not intend to create internal links to pages starting http*. Incidentally, we want to add the same functionality to the EducationProgram extension for when users paste in a url to the article form: bug 44397. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
