--- Comment #2 from Stefan Nowak <[email protected]> 2010-04-11 16:56:23 BST --- Within my research prior to filing my issue, bug 16561 also came across my way! BUG 16561 NOT REALLY A DUPLICATE BUG: Its reporter Piotr Kubowicz argued for "Wiktionary pages" and their "broken section links" and the negative local link effect, nevertheless mentioned that implementing his suggestion could be beneficial to ANY MediaWiki, whereas my suggestion dealt with the same "broken section links" but focused more on the negative effect on Wikipedia cross-page links to broken sections! As shown in my example. SADLY, BUG 16561 PROCESS STALLED: The last process is almost 1.5 years ago, the status still "new", not resolution observable. I STRONGLY ADVOCATE FOR THIS ENHANCEMENT: Those who argued against bug 16561 were mainly arguing defensively from a technical status-quo and seemingly ignorant to the potential benefit! (Smelled a little bit of pure self-referential techno/bureau-cracy) I have not collected empirical evidence, how often I encounter broken cross-page section links, and how long it takes me to eventually get to links supposedly content. But from my memory, it happens quite sometimes! Hopefully some person (eventually a developer) recognizes the potential of this, and realizes it! If it helps this person to have some reasoning/evidence, I am ready to provide/collect! LAST QUESTIONS: 1) Is my bug now really considered a duplicate? 2) Shall I thus continue my reasoning here, or better at the (supposedly) duplicate bug site? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
