Hi,
it has come to my attention that certain Browsers seem to insert
question marks as a replacement for characters they don't support. If
one of these poor people is editing an article, it will end up in
breaking all non-latin characters.
This is one example.
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Kabbala&diff=2653437&old…
I think that it is a almost-ever-true assumption that there are no
articles that are consisting of more than one question mark, if any.
So whenever an interwiki gets altered into [[he:????]], there has to be
something wrong.
a) Could an skilled wikipedian searach for a list of articles that
contain interwikis that are full of question marks?
b) could an even more skilled wikipedian think of a script that checks
article changes for this behavior and
1. denies the article change
2. cries for help
3. informs the author that his browser should be seen as a
relict of a past millenium?
Breaking interwiki links and other non-latin characters is not cool.
Just say no to interwiki-breaking.
There is a new feature in the mediawiki CVS head.
That's now possible to compare the user's browser against a blacklist, and put a
warning if necessary before any article update. The default non unicode
compliant browser list is now almost emtpy, but I encourage anybody to submit
me new browser idents which cause problems.
Best regards
