--- Comment #5 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> 2011-04-03 17:10:42 UTC --- (In reply to comment #4) > action=expandtemplates is not an extension, it's in core. Oh, that's confusing. I thought we were talking about the API module for the extension. Okay, that makes more sense now. (Though, really, the API module is pretty much the identical functionality of the extension, it's just in core.) > Your comment confuses me and I don't understand what you want exactly, so I'm > reclosing this bug.

The original request was for an option to expand page content directly into HTML from action=expandtemplates (and actually, it looks like the subsequent comment wanted to get the XML, wikitext, and/or HTML all at once, simultaneously). You're suggesting using the parse module instead. Your solution requires an extra request, but it's probably the more sane approach. I know personally when I've used the Special:ExpandTemplates extension UI, it would've been helpful to be able to get the output in HTML rather than in wikitext, but for developers/programmers, the overhead of an extra API request probably isn't high enough to warrant adding an option to the expandtemplates module. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
