Hi,
I really do like the new interlanguage links interface, and hope we can
put it in use ASAP. Some comments:
1) Can you check the code into CVS under a separate tag?
2) The interface is well done. It's a neat idea to have a separate edit
screen for this purpose, since editing interlanguage links and editing
text are reasonably separate. However, we probably want the
ilinks+add/edit links to show up on the edit screen as well.
3) We need to log interlanguage link edits. We can't use RC because of
the different logs involved. So we need an ilinks log similar to RC, and
an individual ilinks history as well as a recent_ilinks type page (which
could be integrated into RC). We need to do this to prevent unnoticed
link vandalism. Being able to roll back changes would be a plus. If we
implement that, we can open ilinks to anons, otherwise I suggest we do
not.
4) I'll probably do some layout edits on the interface. We do need the
ability to add several ilinks at once. I don't know if the nice language
dropdown really gains us speed as it's just too damn full. How about:
Source: [en:Main Page ]
Destination(s), one per line:
[de:Hauptseite ]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]
[Do it]
We already have the two language codes and everyone working on one of
those wikis knows them. (Add a link to the list just in case.) Without
the square brackets, there is fairly little typing involved.
5) Once I have the code, I'll probably add "Select all / Select none"
JavaScript buttons to the checkbox lists.
Regards,
Erik
