--- Comment #3 from Ryan Kaldari <rkald...@wikimedia.org> 2011-06-29 20:00:42 UTC --- Yeah, the problem is that action=query is really designed to work with local pages, not transcluded files. I agree that there are ways to accomplish the goal, but none of them take less than half an hour to figure out (unless you happen to be Roan or Brion). If a volunteer is just coding something for fun, they may not have the patience to work it out. Most likely, they will write a test that doesn't cover all of the cases and they'll end up with a buggy tool. While researching this, I learned that a lot of people still use an old pre-API AJAX method to accomplish this task: sajax_do_call( 'SpecialUpload::ajaxGetExistsWarning', $filename, function() ); It would be nice if these old ajax.js methods were rewritten into API calls that were just as easy to use. Is it even safe to keep using the ajax.js methods or will they be deprecated at some point? -- 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
