--- Comment #16 from Mark A. Hershberger <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Brad Jorsch from comment #13) > MWJames, my point is that SMW was depending on buggy behavior, and just > because you can write a unit test showing that the bug was fixed in 1.23 > doesn't mean we should unfix the bug. From my point of view as a part of release management, it appears that SMW depends on some undocumented behavior of MW. It looks like Brad was unaware of SMW's dependency on this behavior, saw the bug and decided to fix it. Keeping this "fix" will hurt around 8.5% of MediaWiki installations[1] while only abou 30 or 40 people have complained about the old behavior in the past. In the meantime, they've been able to cope with that behavior. It would be good if the SMW devs could go back and look at the previous bugs claiming to be fixed here and see if the arguments presented there show that fix is merited despite their concerns. In the meantime, I'm slating https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/105829/ for a revert. Could one of you verify that reverting that code fixes this problem?
