Thanks for writing this up. I've added a few quick comments and put it on my watchlist. I *hate* action urls. They overly complicate Article and related classes, and date from a time before special pages existed. While on the one hand I think the cleanup recently to make Action classes and move the code out was a positive thing...I agree the better course of action is to kill them entirely. Of course, things like action=edit should work as back-compat for near eternity (supporting action=foobar redirects to Special:Foobar/Title would take very little code). -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
