Bug ID: 55977
Summary: Metadata on file description page is difficult to link
correctly
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.22-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: File management
Assignee: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
On a file description page, there is a Metadata section near the bottom. This
has two columns, one for item names the other for values. Each name/value pair
has a corresponding pair of pages in MediaWiki: namespace, containing the text
to show for the name, or a formatting template for the value.
The pages for the values sometimes contain links, and it is possible to modify
the input value $1 when constructing the link, in order to link to a suitable
page. See for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Exif-make-value
(which formats the value associated with
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Exif-make ) In this page, some makes of
camera are given a piped link because the straight link would go to the wrong
page - for example, [[Apple]] would go to the fruit, but [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]
goes to the correct page.
Something similar is needed for
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Exif-software-value (associated with
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Exif-software ) but here the problem is
that if $1 merely states a bare version number like 6.0, that might be
ambiguous - in the context of an Apple iPhone, it should link to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_6 but if the camera is not an iPhone, that's
clearly the wrong link. Either the value passed into $1 needs the camera make
adding, or a second parameter needs to be added which has the camera make.
