Max Semenik <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from Max Semenik <[email protected]> 2011-08-07 11:20:39 UTC --- Indeed, wiki*.*/wiki/ looks a bit schizophrenic. It is a leftoff from times when there was wikipedia.org/images/, wikipedia.org/tarballs/ and so on. Since these are not used anymore, we can shorten URLs a bit without interferring with other bits and pieces. If the wikipedia.org/Article_Name schema is unacceptable from an ops viewpoint (it's still possible though not advised), we still can shorten URLs to something like: wikipedia.org/index.php?... wikipedia.org/w/Article_Name This might involve the following steps: 1) Relocate the MW root directory to the site root. 2) Turn the previous .php files at w/ into symlinks 3) A year later, set $wgArticlePath to w/ at the same time redirecting the old .php files with rewrite rules. Although it's a PITA, it (or similar changes) will result in nicer URLs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
