We're currently on version > 1.17 (although 1.18 will probably be deployed soonish). Whoops, since 1.18 was re-branched, support for the hook is actually in 1.18 which is much closer to coming to Wikimedia. >It seems to me that it will be necessary to have the possibility to customize >the algorithm. It's unlikely support will come for a mediawiki namespace message to control the default sortkey (or at least, I personally don't plan to write support for that, someone else can of course write support for that). Its slightly complicated by the fact one needs to do stuff with the job queue to ensure that category collations get refreshed any time anyone edits that message and to be honest, that's quite an expensive operation to let people do willy-nilly since the entire categorylinks table would have to be refreshed (although I guess it might not be super-expensive on a small wiki since no pages have to be re-parsed) plus it doesn't seem very necessary - how often does said algorithm change? Anyhow, I just created an extension [[mw:Extension:SubpageSortkey]] in the hopes it may eventually be part of a solution to this bug (It of course would need to be reviewed before it would be allowed to be activated, and that often takes some time) but please read the docs and let me know what you think/if it would fix the issue described in this bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
