Category: None Group: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: colon omitted in link to category page Initial Comment: Consider a page X containing only the following wiki markup: [[:Category:some category]] Let page be a Page object for X. Then links = page.linkedPages() for link in links: wikipedia.output(page.title()) wikipedia.output(page.aslink()) outputs: Category:some category [[Category:some category]] i.e. the leading colon has been swallowed. I suggest the colon be kept due to the semantic difference between [[:Category:some category]] and [[Category:some category]]. (A similar problem might exist with interlanguage links; I haven't tested, though) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Russell Blau (russblau) Date: 2007-08-03 11:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=855050 Originator: NO Page.aslink() has an optional parameter "textlink" (defaults to False); if True, the leading colon will be output. This is a relatively recent addition to the framework, and many bots have not yet been updated to use it. This parameter does not yet work for interwiki links. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=603138&aid=176697…
