--- Comment #22 from Brad Jorsch <bjor...@wikimedia.org> --- (In reply to comment #20) > Emulating MediaWiki behavior doesn't seem ideal to me. It feels like > reinventing/rewriting MediaWiki as a MediaWiki extension. It's too bad we didn't add the semantic information into the existing PHP parser and make it runnable as a service, instead of trying to rewrite the whole thing in a completely different language. But that ship has already sailed.

I don't much like the parallel Flow-specific links tables, but I suppose that's necessary because Flow makes talk pages so complicated that trying to find the usage of the link/file/template/etc from the talk page itself won't work too well. Don't forget the list of pages using the file at the bottom of File-namespace pages. And there are also a number of API modules that query the existing links tables; there should at least be some way to (1) identify that a page *is* Flow and (2) search these flow-specific links tables to find the actual "thing(s)" doing the linking in the particular page. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
