MZMcBride <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #45 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> 2010-03-31 21:57:37 UTC --- I'm not so sure about this. Personally, my scripts often rely on the assumption that image.img_name is the same as page.page_title when page_namespace = 6. I use this assumption to generate reports of files without file description pages, file description pages without files, and comparing enwiki_p.page.page_title to commonswiki_p.image.img_name. I imagine there are other scripts on the Toolserver and elsewhere that rely on a similar assumption. This change would likely break these scripts. I'm also concerned about naming conflicts. In bug 20971#c4, Brion suggests that only non-conflicted image names would be stripped. Deliberate inconsistency here doesn't seem like an ideal situation for editors or anyone else. Though I suppose page text will be inconsistent for the rest of time if this change is implemented anyway. On an emotional level, stripping the file extensions feels wrong. A JPG simply isn't the same as a GIF or a PNG or an SVG. Even users who are only adding the file inclusion code to pages need to understand and appreciate that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
