Bug #: 29200
Summary: Creation of new thread fails if no content is entered
(should be possible)
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: LiquidThreads
AssignedTo: agarr...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: m...@tgries.de
CC: bhar...@wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
When adding a new thread, for example as a placeholder to motivate new comments
to a subject, or to ask a short question, the current Lqt implementation fails
to create the new thread
- if only the discussion title ("Subject" line when clicking "Start a new
discussion") is given ; and
- if no content is entered in to text input field for the content
observed in Liquid Threads (Version 2.0-alpha) (r89075)
As far as I understand, the technical reason is that the underlying sub page
creation for the subject fails - when no content is present.
However, in the framework of creation of a better user interface of Wikipedia
and MediaWiki Talk pages, this should be possible, though.
I suggest to create in this case automatically page with a placeholder content,
namely the given Lqt thread title subject as HTML content in the sub page body.
Thus the page looks empty, but has (relevant-to-thread) dummy content.
