Someone just shot down both
test.wikipedia.com and
meta.wikipedia.com.
Meanwhile, let's go through these:
The really bad problem is that there is no easy way to
go back to reedit
redirected pages. For example, suppose that for any reason I want to edit
"philisophy" (which redirects to "philosophy").
Easy. At the top of the screen, when viewing the redirected "Philosophy"
article, there's a line starting with "Watch this article...". At the end
of
this line, there's a text "(redirected from Philispohy)". Click on the
link,
and you go to the edit page of the article containing the redirect.
This might or might not be related to the problem
that
http://meta.wikipedia.com/wiki.phtml?title=Larry_Sanger/Columns
isn't redirecting.
The tarball I have doesn't have a redirect there. I can't check
test.wikipedia.com, because it is offline.
My own personal top priorities, though, are as follow (drawn from
http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/fpw/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Bugs ):
(1) I'd like to turn off the section numbering. Does anyone like it? I
don't. I'd rather not have my sections numbered--I'd like to have the
choice, anyway. Sometimes, I have just one heading at the top of a pages;
that shouldn't be numbered "#1". This sort of thing is better done by
humans, not made automatic, IMO.
You can turn it off in your user preferences. I'll change it to be off by
default for new users.
(2) This one: "The script parses an ending period
as part of an external
link. e.g.
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Recent_Changes. It should
probably ignore final periods. --Stephen Gilbert"
I know, I know...
I couldn't figure our how to do that with a single regular expression
search&replace - yet!
(3) This one: "There's no "Talk" functionality for user pages."
There
should be talk functionality for all namespaces. I also agree with this:
'I think what would work is for each namespace (such as "user:" or
"Wikipedia:") there will automatically be a related talk namespace (such
as "user talk:" or "Wikipedia talk:"). That would resolve the issue,
though perhaps the need for this points out a flaw in the current design."
But there is! Exactly as requested! Boy, that was easy...
(4) This one (if it hasn't been fixed yet): "The script just missed an
edit conflict, and claimed "Your page Wikipedia:Bugs was successfully
saved!" when in fact it saved the "Added
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" revision."
I think that's a weird one, and probably outdated as well. Tell me if this
still applies.
(5) This one :-( : "I cannot simply hit the back button in my browser,
after I have saved a page, and make another change to the page. I do that
all the time in UseModWiki, but I can't do it on PediaWiki because I get
into an edit conflict with myself."
OK, for now, do this: Back button, then reload (just hit F5 in most
browsers). Should work then.
I struggled with this for quite some time, and I hope once we get a bomis
CVS repository, I'll get some help ;)
(6) This: "Other namespaces : Talk" is just
confusing to about 99% of
users. This should be changed to something like "Discuss changes to this
article: Talk".
Well, if there's an article "foo", a "Talk:foo" page, a
"wikipedia:foo" page
and a "user:foo" (or even more!), they all get listed there. It's not just
for talk. Just look at the sidebar, no misleading titles there ;)
(7) Finish the list of the new features.
http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/fpw/wiki.phtml?title=wikipedia:New+features
As most new features are visible (and usable), this can be filled in by
others as well. It's wikipedia, after all! ;)
Oh,
test.wikipedia.com is online a gain! I just fixed the mathematics bug.
It was on the page. Don't type a backslash at the end of a line, the script
takes it for something else...
(This won't become the most common error in the wiki, I guess...)
I just uploaded the "default: no header numbering" version to the
sourceforge site.
I also reversed the buggy changes I made there to support other languages.
This needs a different approach.
Don't worry, I saved the real bugs for the Monday change :]
