Nik Everett <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Nik Everett <[email protected]> --- This behaviour looks like it stretches back to 2005. I've added Bryan as a CC on this. The relevant commit messages are: commit 435ed6274eb2d7daf8681c3a16ab6883541c59a5 Author: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <[email protected]> Date: Sat Mar 26 23:30:53 2005 +0000 * (bug 1398) patch by Thue Janus Kristensen that modifies the behaviour of the 'Go' button, if an IP address is entered the search engine first checks if an article by that name exists, otherwise it goes to the user contributions list of that search engine ( this would catch en.wp.org/wiki/127.0.0.1 ), also, entering a valid username with the current namespace-3 + : prefix will go to the users page, regardless of whether it contains any text or not. commit eb0489b5da4ee3a3e1824a1741bdf60fc67bf2a5 Author: Brion Vibber <[email protected]> Date: Sun Mar 27 01:28:03 2005 +0000 Fix minor issues missed in patch review: * Use getDbkey(), not getTitle(), when constructing new titles * Don't bother checking for existence of a user page on go; with the namespace prefix it's pretty clear what's meant, and the inconsistent behavior would be more confusing than illuminating. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
