Examples? Both of the circumstances, and the bugs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20455 --- Comment #6 from Splarka h...@goldrush.com 2009-09-01 22:59:22 UTC --- (In reply to comment #5) (In reply to comment #3) Actually, the link to the current page is very useful in many circumstances, Examples? Both of the circumstances, [accesskey]+[c] (usually) for the nstab-ns button is very handy for refreshing just the HTML of the current page. This is contrary to ctrl-r or f5, which revalidate CSS/JS with a lot of extra HEAD requests in Mozilla browsers. On dialup, or with a tiny bit of lag in any of the servers serving head scripts/styles, this can make a huge difference. The nstab link also contains, on Special pages, the parameters you've currently selected. So one simply has to hit the accesskey for nstab-special (if defined) to refresh without revalidate (per above). and the bugs. bug 14796 ? (In reply to comment #0) If they click it, a link leading to the current page is an utter waste of users' time. This absolutely doesn't apply to a wiki, where virtually every page is potentially dynamic, some from one second to the next. Suggest WONTFIX with prejudice. This bug report is an utter waste of users' time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

On the other hand, we might be able to get away with a string search-and-replace on the cached version. This doesn't just apply to the main page, it applies to any page linked from the navigation menu. We do this kind of link duplication in the content action tabs too, in Monobook, and probably in some other skins too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

I wouldn't be too hasty in blindly following someone else's usability bandwagon - let's think about whether it's a real problem and so on before doing anything here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
