The RecentChanges page is broken: when all the pages were moved from /wiki.cgi?* to /wiki/*, it wasn't properly updated, so now clicking on an author's name doesn't work. Who is the appropriate person to fix this?
- The person who broke it, of course. :-)
- I didn't break the code, but I think I see the problem. The script name is (mainly) used in two routines: ScriptLink? and ScriptLinkTitle? (used for author links so that you'll get the nifty pop-up with the ID and hostname). It looks like only the first of these was modified for the new /-style links. The fix should be simple--just modify ScriptLinkTitle? the same way. --CliffordAdams
- I broke it. Now I will go fix it. The purpose of the change is that many search spiders refuse to index past the '?', and I am hoping that changing the urls to look like /wiki/* will help them index us. --JimboWales
O.k., it is still broken. The way it is broken now is that I'm using a mod_rewrite passthrough to make the URLs look the way I want them (which is semi-important), but this causes the script to think that cobrand.bomis.com (the name of the machine where wikipedia lives) is the ip doing all the editing.
Therefore, I should not use mod_rewrite passthrough to do what I want. So I have to think about the right way to do it.
