Gentlemen, allow me to tell you about a bug you will rarely notice,
unless you turn off styles in firefox, or use a text browser.
$ f=http://taizhongbus.jidanni.org/index.php?title=Special:Version
#(or any other Special: page)
$ w3m -dump $f\&uselang=en|grep -i special
‧ Special Page ‧ Special pages
The above drives one nuts: two links with almost the same name, but
pointing to different things.
In Chinese, it is even worse because page/pages translates to the same thing:
$ w3m -dump $f|grep 特殊
‧ 特殊頁面 ‧ 特殊頁面
In Mediawiki 1.10 the English is now a little better:
‧ Special ‧ Special pages
But why the first link back to the page we are on anyway, when there
is already a "Retrieved from" link, and why only for when one does not
use stylesheets?
We examine these two links again, on a different Special page:
This is the link that should be thrown into the trash can pronto:
<li id="ca-nstab-special" class="selected"><a
href="/taizhongbus.jidanni.org/index.php?title=Special:Listusers&uselang=en"
title="This is a special page, you can't edit the page
itself">Special</a></li>
along with its "Views" header, which now becomes empty.
And this is the reasonable link that should stay:
<li id="t-specialpages"><a
href="/taizhongbus.jidanni.org/index.php/Special:Specialpages"
title="List of all special pages [q]" accesskey="q">Special
pages</a></li>
http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20031110.html says
never have a link that points to the current page.
Compromise: one link OK, two too much.
Version: 1.10.x
Severity: trivial
