--- Comment #47 from Scott Martin <sc...@urbigenous.net> --- (In reply to Technical 13 from comment #46) > The number of links that already exist to Commons is infinite ...No it isn't. What you meant to say is "the number of links that can be created to Commons using 'commons:' is already infinite". > and I don't see a justifiable reason to need to "double" that. What you can't see, many others can. > People have been typing [[commons:]] just fine for years now, why is it > suddenly so important to change it to [[c:]]? First: please stop typing things with double brackets around them. It doesn't do what you think it does. Secondly: nobody has claimed that this is "suddenly important". Thirdly: nobody is proposing to change "commons:" to "c:". > For the record, this is not a technical limitation, this is a decision made > by people to change the way that things currently work. As, such, it is a > bad idea. "For the record", I really don't think you understand what's going on here at all, and it's probably a good idea for you not to prognosticate on what makes a "bad idea" until you do. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
