never comitted to trunk? What happened to that code? Any chance of getting it into the core software?
I think it was written for 1.5 or something. I doubt it would apply very cleanly today.
Where is it? I wouldn't mind taking a look at it to see if it can be brought up to speed.
Well, I've taken a look and there were a couple of surprises:
* It already handles the issue of being able to specify where unmarked links (i.e. links with no explicit namespace) go to. * It was written for MW 1.10, so there should not be much work involved in getting it to apply cleanly to head! (Specifically 1.10alpha, branched at r19771)
What would it take to get this into core? Is there a specific reason why this has not already happened (i.e. known issues, or incompleteness) or is it just a matter of someone not getting round to it (either requesting it or dealing with the request)?
