Ah, that explains it. I’ve been a bit busy too, but not that busy (my finals are late summer). Yes, the “Lucy” Editor as it is called, although it’s a bit more than an editor apparently. It completely screws with URLs & even supersedes MediaWiki in some places. Xaroth was talking about MediaWiki as if it was outdated & full of problems, & how Lucy had to pick up slack in some areas (& the two systems clashed in places), which gave me a bit of a chill. I fear the worst for MediaWiki, & open source. Quote: MediaWiki is the only major web software that does an automatic translation between underscores and spaces in URLs. While this probably made perfect sense back in 2003 when MediaWiki was originally released, it causes more confusion and technical problems today than it’s worth and places unnecessary restrictions on what page names can be. Lucy is working towards conforming with modern web standards everywhere that it can, and URL structure is one of those places. Unfortunately, there are some strange intersections between MediaWiki and Lucy in this regard, and this specific bug is an example of this friction. We’ll work to fix this instance quickly, but I have no doubt in my mind that we’ll have similar problems moving forward for a while, so please bear with us while we get these ironed out. That’s except from the Fandom Labs Discussions, so it’s not covered by the NDA. Anyone can go see that. Thanks for the JS, although I can’t install it until tomorrow (mobile’d). Cya ’round :)
