Re: [Wikitech-l] WebRequest and PHP bug 31892 fixed 6 years ago

And what is the point of making "pretty urls" in case of MediaWiki? I think they're already pretty much pretty in MediaWiki :) /edit/$1 is slightly prettier than ?action=edit, but as I understand it doesn't affect anything, even like SEO. And I don't think /help/$1 is any better than /Help:$1 at

Re: [Wikitech-l] WebRequest and PHP bug 31892 fixed 6 years ago

fixing bug 32621 is a todo. The first attempt failed and some tweaks are needed to use the PathRouter to fix that bug. PathRouter allows for the use of custom paths to expand. NamespacePaths is an example of one thing you can do (say giving Help: pages a /help/ path) but you could also apply t

This thread has probably reached that limit of fresh arguments. Can we continue with proper documentation, reporting and patches? We care about GitHub and we believe it is an important source of potential contributors. This is why we are mirroring our repos there, and this is why we are workin
