Tarquin,
someone au bistro, suggested that our
article
count was still the coma method. I made a test,
and
indeed, this page
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_de_test_rien_que_pour_moi
counts for
one. It contains just ",".
Didnot we vote something on the topic once ?
Well it was done on meta.
Why are we still with the old system ?
As far as I know only the en-wikipedia on the new
server is running with
the new count system.
Ah ?
I must have been dreaming about a vote somewhere,
which was
1. supposed to be international
2. initially set up because *the french people* (me
essentially) complained some guys were having much fun
adding hundred of stupid visible or even invisible
commas in articles to have them counted as articles
Ok, this is an stupid issue, but I find quite curious
that this topic was initially raised by the french
wiki, that so many french people expressed their
dislike of this method, that final conclusion was to
drop the count system, that we indicated in our talk
pages that the count system was changed
just to find oneself totally ridiculous many months
later discovering that *nothing* has changed and that
the old system is still the one working.
Ok, back to the old fun of seeing non-grammatically
correct commas in articles now.
I mean. This is the kind of day I feel very old.
