--- Comment #3 from Tyler Romeo <[email protected]> --- > MediaWiki hook > Allows extension to change functionality That's the purpose of hooks. The issue here is not with the hook, but with extensions that are misusing the hook. For example, let's say we make the hook more specific in an attempt to make it less "generic and dangerous", and instead the hook allows extensions to *only* change language_urls. Extension developers could still misuse the hook and insert non-language URLs into the template. The problem is that the template parameters are not well-defined enough, and because of that extension developers are misusing the template parameters. It would be ridiculous to instead make fifty different hooks, each for a different template parameter that needs to be altered. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
