--- Comment #6 from Amir E. Aharoni <[email protected]> --- (In reply to James Forrester from comment #3) > On this one I'm minded to WONTFIX, but I could be argued around. What are > the reasons for letting people remove content they can't see with select-all? As WhatamIdoing says, redirecting, for example for merging. This may be achieved using some special scenario. (And hey, blanking must point at something special in any case.) Copying here the description from bug 67200 which was closed as dupe: Deleting the text from the article and converting it to a redirect page still leaves all the categories in it, as well as Other Stuff such as magic words and invisible templates. This is a regression in comparison to the source editor, where the editor could just delete everything and be sure that categories, magic words, invisible templates and everything else is gone. Just redirecting an article shouldn't necessarily remove everything, because it's actually possible that the editor wants to leave the article in a category. Some projects, including enwiki, have categories, templates etc. in redirect pages. But probably some kind of a warning should be shown. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
