Bug #: 30992
Summary: SForms misreads template parameters
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: SemanticForms
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
If I have a template with named AND numeric parameters, and I order my SForm to
put a named parameter first, all the numeric parameters will be off.
This presents itself strongest with optional named parameters along with
numeric parameters in partial forms. Let's say we've got a list, where each
item can be marked as 'deprecated', which is the first optional (and named
parameter), with numeric parameters used for all the actual template fields to
display the item. As soon as someone marks one item as 'deprecated' and edits
the partial form, every {{{1}}} becomes {{{2}}} and so on, moving over the
parameters of every item already entered. If they don't spot this and save the
form (which at least on my wiki has happened) they then effectively destroy the
display of the whole list.
I reported this to Yaron in IRC a week ago, filing here for completeness and so
I know when/if it ever gets fixed. I have high hopes given track history!
I am currently holding off using SForms until this gets fixed, but partial
forms would really make my wiki more usable to my non-technical users. I'm very
excited about the future.
