I'd be for replacing the action links with
subdirectories, but against
putting all language wikis in the same subdomain, because I think that's
much more of a "cultural" change than changing the URLs for edit pages
and so on.
Also, why can't articles just be at the root?
so:
hi,
in 1.5, we have the possibility of changing URLs used for projects.
previously, there were two forms of URLs:
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit
we now have the choice to replace "action=" with a new path:
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/edit/Main_Page
however, at the same time, we could implement a change in the way domain
names are used, that has been discussed several times in the past:
-
http://wikipedia.org/en/article/Main_Page
-
http://wikipedia.org/en/edit/Main_Page
as well as being nicer from a technical perspective, i think this reduces
the disconnection between different languages of the same project. so, i'd
like to propose that we move to the last form of URLs at some point.
does anyone have comments on or object to this change?
kate.
