--- Comment #10 from [email protected] 2010-03-21 04:58:07 UTC --- I recommend that in addition to the interwiki #ifexist parser function, we also implement existence checking of interwiki links such as [[m:foo]], and provide for red/blue link coloration depending on the result of that check. Red links can be useful, in that they tempt users to create a new article. Therefore, in some cases, we don't want to have a template causing an interwiki link to appear as unclickable text, or not to appear if the page doesn't exist; we just want the link to be red. We can implement such coloration via #ifexist as described at [[w:Wikipedia:Link_color#Making_links_appear_a_different_color_for_everyone]], but it would save keystrokes and simplify the markup just to have existence-detecting interwiki links. Presumably we'll use the LinkEnd or LinkBegin hook for this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
