Actually the results are very meaningful for scripters ;-), since it is a very practical way to see the global usage of scripts, to make it easy to update all of them. See e.g.: http://krinkle-tools.grizzdesign.nl/KrinkleSausage.php#perfile Instead of displaying warnings to the user if the requested page is not in the File: namespace, I would prefer to expand the original purpose of the special page so that these uses could become indeed supported. In other words, maybe the special page could be enhanced to completely fix Bug 1886, as Krinkle suggestd on Bug 1886 comment 7. As for the present bug, is there a change of it being caused by the fact that the deleted page was not really a file? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
