Bug #: 28426
Summary: Remove stub link formatting user preference from
MediaWiki core
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
The stub link formatting user preference should be removed from MediaWiki core
and either be placed into a MediaWiki extension or be implemented as a
JavaScript script/gadget.
The feature contributes to parser cache fragmentation, which is bad and to be
avoided. It's an old, quirky feature that would likely never be implemented in
MediaWiki core if were proposed today. It's merely a(n) historical artifact
that it's currently in core and it shouldn't be any longer.
