Like this:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:AllPages/Hill
used to display 480 titles starting at "Hill". Now it does what PrefixIndex does. If I wanted that, I'd use Prefixindex. How do we get access to the original function? (And I don't understand the bit about "excessively long output" at all, it always displayed 480 titles (except at the end of the wiki).
It is now broken, and should be put back. (In particular, the python wikipedia framework has been broken.)
Two things in particular are now broken: the ability to display a section of the title index from an arbitrary starting point, and the the ability to display titles starting with at a prefix that doesn't exist in the database. (Also the undesirable switch from Allpages to Prefixindex.)
How do we do those now?
Robert
(also a meta question: how do we find out about these things before waking up to find them broken?)

The format changed to avoid excessively long output. I've looked at the form and those links on wiktionary and don't see anything incorrect or not "working".

morningNo longer displays pages from a title. In some cases it will display a
list
of index pages.
For example,
http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AllPages&from=Hillsbo...http://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AllPages&from=Hillsborough%21&namespace=0displays
a list of index pages from Hilma, instead of pages titles from Hilma.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:AllPages/Hiffe displays no pages
at
all, and clicking on "Go" switches to Prefix index.
Not useful. Can we put back the working version please? _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
