Re: [Wikitech-l] Collecting UI feedback for PolyGerrit - Gerrit

I have issues with copying the text of changed files: `ctrl+a` does not work as it used to anymore: While using the side-by-side diff view, go to a changed file, click on the old/new revision, press `ctrl+a`. In the old UI only the text of the selected file would have been selected, but now the

We have the same in Norwegian, but linking on part of a composite is almost always wrong. Either you link on the whole composite or no part of the composite. If you link on a part of a composite, then in nearly all cases I have seen the link is placed on the wrong term. Some examples on what

-{}- is already commonly used on LanguageConverter wikis for "this is a syntactic element but does nothing except separate a word". The preprocessor already understands it on all wikis, as well. (But then we explicitly serialize it to literally `-{}-` if your content language doesn't have

Re: [Wikitech-l] non-obvious uses of in your language

The problem with all anti-linktrail practices is that they make search (or search and replace) in the source very hard. This relies both to bot owners and humans who use the insource: regex search engine. I think a brand new approach would be necessary. For example, [[foo]]bar would behave as now,
