This patch just adds in redirects, so users still go to ?action=edit. Even if Special:Action/edit/Foo became the eventual destination, you would want Special:Edit/Foo to end up there. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Drop_actions_in_favour_of_page_views_and_special_pages seems rather dead. I even named the classes "SpecialEditRedirect" instead of "SpecialEdit" in case we decide to make it a special page in the future. > Plus we now have complicating factors like Wikidata and VisualEditor and Flow > to consider, where an "edit" means something almost entirely different. True. I think those are edge cases though, and don't make the special pages less useful for wikis/pages not using Wikibase/Flow. VE is interesting because some users go to ?veaction=edit instead of ?action=edit. I'm not sure there's an easy way to handle this, will think about it. -- 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
