Description

This project tracks issues relating to the SpecialPage framework in MediaWiki, and a handful of individual special pages that bundle with MediaWiki core.

  • Maintenance reports: Built-in query pages such as Special:LongPages, Special:OldestPages, Special:WantedPages, Special:WantedFiles, etc (see mw:Maintenance reports).

Issues about individual special pages are tracked as part of the extension or core component it belongs to. Such as:

It seems to me that is very bad for tags and these tables need to be fixed, as well as was done with version table.

stjn added a comment to T162190: "Translate" links on Special:AllMessages should link directly to the respective messages at translatewiki.net.

That is an argument for sending people to the best possible interface (action=edit), not arguably the worst and most wonky. And doing the redirection to Special:Translate client-side if possible (if action=edit gets visited with a parameter indicating that this needs to happen). Hacking around it with https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Amire80/allMessages.js shouldn’t be necessary.

stjn added a comment to T162190: "Translate" links on Special:AllMessages should link directly to the respective messages at translatewiki.net.

Well, the problem is that the SearchTranslations fails for any untranslated tag messages with spaces in their names, for example: https://zu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AllMessages?prefix=Tag-&filter=all&lang=zu&limit=50

Nikerabbit added a comment to T162190: "Translate" links on Special:AllMessages should link directly to the respective messages at translatewiki.net.

This is not possible in all the cases. We have ignored messages which should not be translated in translatewiki.net. We have optional messages (of which your example is an example of) that usually should not be translated in translatewiki.net. Then we have messages where the key does not match because we have had to rewrite the key for various reasons.

Re-opening since it clearly wasn’t: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Служебная:Системные_сообщения?uselang=en links to https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ASearchTranslations&group=mediawiki&grouppath=mediawiki&language=ru&query=1movedto2+moved+[[%241]]+to+[[%242]] which does not find the relevant message at all. Even if a link to translatewiki.net is required to go to the special page, it should go to Special:Translate, not to Special:SearchTranslations. Though personally I think just linking to the edit page would be better, since Special:Translate isn’t accessible without JavaScript enabled.

Umherirrender added a comment to T139858: Improve granularity of Special:RevisionDelete for log entries.

It is not possible to revision delete the page name only, it hide all information for the log event, that includes the page and all parameters. It does not revision delete the action.
So the task is still invalid as written, because it is not possible to hide the action, but it is possible to hide the target of the event. But that was already in the previous comment.
It seems not possible to allow more gradually ways of deletion here, as there are only 3 options, but I leave it open to allow further responses to this topic.

Can you provide steps to replicate? I do not see what log type you have hide. Maybe the title is just part of the parameters (like for move logs or user renames)

Izno added a comment to T380683: More accessible section links in logged edit summaries.

It's a bit of outdated thinking here (not necessarily your fault): CSS content is now announced in many cases by accessibility agents (and not in others). Moving it into CSS isn't necessarily going to fix away whatever we think the arrow is doing here and whether it's actually necessary.
