I don't have any objection to the idea in principle. The idea that a "#" followed by a magic word at the beginning of a page will produce a magic result is pretty arcane and senseless. Changing the syntax to something like {{#redirect:}} has plenty of merit in my mind. Broadly, I think it would make sense to take a holistic approach rather than an incremental approach here, however. That is, if there are going to be (somewhat major) changes to syntax, they should be planned so that they can be consistent and sensible. For example, changing all magic words to be able to start with "#" (the subject of another bug). And it would be wise to look at other parts of wiki-syntax that could use improvement. On the whole, I'd say this bug is worthy of further consideration. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
