Web browser: --- Bug ID: 49044 Summary: VisualEditor: Category editor should also find categories without a category description page Product: VisualEditor Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: Unprioritized Component: Editing Tools Assignee: krinklem...@gmail.com Reporter: krinklem...@gmail.com CC: jforres...@wikimedia.org, krinklem...@gmail.com, rm...@wikimedia.org, tpars...@wikimedia.org Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: --- Users and categories should not be auto-completed based on page names (API action=opensearch) but instead based on their own respective query modules (list=allusers, list=allcategories) because the existence of a description page is optional and neither a subset nor superset of the database tables. * Pages can exist for inexistent objects. * Objects often don't have an associated page. 718db58f introduced category editing with autocompletion from opensearch (with hardcoded 'Category:' prefix). This should be switched to using list=allcategories instead. That way the input field will no longer include results for inexistent categories, and no longer omit results for existing categories lacking a description page. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
