--- Comment #23 from Fut.Perf. <fut.p...@googlemail.com> 2012-03-09 22:51:23 UTC --- So, if I'm reading the code correctly, the pre-1.19 version (https://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/Title.php?revision=96846&view=markup&pathrev=96847) used two separate system messages: [[MediaWiki:Logentry-move-move]] for the actual log entries, which were and still are "$1 moved page $3 to $4", and [[MediaWiki:1movedto2]] for the null revision in the page history, which is "moved $1 to $2". The new version (https://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/includes/Title.php?revision=96847&view=markup&pathrev=96847) uses only [[MediaWiki:Logentry-move-move]], and applies it both to the log entry and to the null revision. Nobody has a problem with how the log entry itself used to work and still works. What people want changed back is the edit summary of the null revision. I see Niklas above saying "Page histories are implemented in stupid way where the log entries are posing as normal edits with the log entry in edit summary." Indeed, but isn't that just what was now introduced? It's with the new system that the log text is crammed also into the page history, in a form that doesn't make that much sense there. In the old system, the page history had its own, tailor-made string, which made much more sense there. Another lay question: if there are really localisations that need the full three-parameter form also in the page history and not only in the log entry, would it be possible to return to using [[MediaWiki:1movedto2]] but add the performer's name to it as a third, optional parameter, which localisations could choose to use or not use? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- 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
