Indeed; Bugzilla seems ill-equipped to properly handle these kinds of requests. You cannot reasonably expect people to find the related pages on mw.org when there's no mention of them when they do exist (and in other cases they don't at all), but nor is there any way in the interface to make such clear or even link to related information. Hopefully you may come up with some ideas of what can be done about this, because I've got nothing at the moment that don't involve hurling the entire bugzilla UI out the window. -- 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
