Different e-mail and signed up back in Jan. 00:01 < AryehGregor> I wonder why he's closing bugs WONTFIX. 00:02 < ^demon> Good question. 00:03 -!- fanno [n=Morten@90.184.93.233] has joined #mediawiki 00:03 < Natalie> Splarka, zai: GlobalUsage (which would replace CheckUsage) is just awaiting code review. 00:03 < AryehGregor> Meh, WONTFIX is fairly reasonable, the suggestion is very fragile. 00:03 * AryehGregor leaves it 00:03 < ^demon> Splarka: Some of them seem ok. 00:03 < Splarka> Natalie: sure, so is LiquidThreads and SemanticMediaWiki 00:04 < Natalie> Well, Brion put it "on the list." 00:04 < Splarka> ^demon: math nerds you mean? 00:04 < zai> natalie: does that mean it might become a feature in mediawiki 1.16 ? 00:04 < Natalie> zai: It's an extension. 00:04 < Splarka> or br[iaoy]{2}ns 00:04 < zai> oh, I see 00:04 < Natalie> You can download it and run it, it just hasn't been reviewed by the WMF sysadmins for use on WMF wikis. 00:05 < Splarka> huh, didn't know it existed 00:05 < Platonides> I also have problems locating so much br[yi]ans 00:05 < ^demon> Hmm, not sure if one of these WONTFIXs is good though... 00:05 < Natalie> WONTFIX requires a lot of caution. It can be a slap in the face of the bug filer. And it's supposed to mean "never gonna happen ever, so stop asking." 00:05 < zai> Natalie: great, ty :-) 00:06 < Natalie> No problem. 00:06 < Splarka> heh 00:06 < Splarka> http://www.mycroc.com/browse.php?u=aHR0cHM6Ly9idWd6aWxsYS53aWtpbWVkaWEub3JnL3Nob3dfYWN0aXZpdHkuY2dpP2lkPTEzMjYw&b=61 00:07 < ^demon> Natalie: It also sometimes means "Can't be bothered," but of course we don't admit that publicly (oops!) 00:07 < Natalie> ! 00:07 < Natalie> That's really what LATER is for. :P 00:07 < Natalie> Or just leave it open and ignore it (current widely used practice). 00:07 -!- JohnLocke [n=simsim@41.218.3.136] has joined #mediawiki 00:07 < Splarka> wtf is this browser bar site for mediazilla.. >_< 00:08 < ^demon> Natalie: Yeah we should probably use LATER more than we do, but w/e. 00:08 < Natalie> Well, the problem with LATER is searchability. 00:08 < Natalie> I'm in favor of just keeping the bugs open if they're unresolved but resolvable. 00:09 < Natalie> That's why you have a bug tracker, after all. :P 00:09 -!- purplepopple [n=laurahal@adsl-99-144-230-113.dsl.emhril.sbcglobal.net] has joined #mediawiki 00:09 < JohnLocke> hi. is there a generic way to translate wikitags in mediawiki?
