Roan Kattouw <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Roan Kattouw <[email protected]> 2010-04-11 20:38:45 UTC --- (In reply to comment #2) > 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. > It's the same bug in the software. The only difference between the other bug and yours is the *reason* why you think it's bad (both reasons are equally valid), but *what's actually wrong in the code* is the same. So from a software point of view, the bugs are definitely duplicates. > SADLY, BUG 16561 PROCESS STALLED: > The last process is almost 1.5 years ago, the status still "new", not > resolution observable. > That happens, because most bugfixers are volunteers who work on what they want to work on. Spreading this issue over two separate bugs only works against progress, not for it. > 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) > That bug wasn't argued against, people were just pointing out that fixing the bug is *difficult*, not that they *disagree* with it. There's nothing wrong with that: fixing this bug *is* difficult, it's OK to acknowledge that. Read Chad and Brion's comments carefully and you'll see that Chad agrees with you "Would be neat" but points out that it's difficult to fix, and Brion simply lists some technical requirements without explicitly stating his opinion. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
