Description:
I ran across this intruiging bug when I was adding custom Monobook definitions
to Meta. MediaWiki follows the convention that all titles are normalized to
capitals, and thus it would be applicable to subpages. So, going with a
cultivated habit, I sought to create my monobook page here: [[User:Ambush
Commander/Monobook.css]]
Now, this is incorrect, the correct page is [[User:Ambush
Commander/monobook.css]], and titles are case sensitive inside subpages. This is
not the problem. The problem is that [[User:Ambush Commander/Monobook.css]]
still shows this warning:
Note: After saving, you have to bypass your browser's cache to see the changes.
Mozilla/Safari/Konqueror: hold down Shift while clicking Reload (or press
Ctrl-Shift-R), IE: press Ctrl-F5, Opera: press F5.
And also displays the contents in a PRE (something magical for the user css and
js pages).
Since Monobook.css does *not* work, and this implies it works, confusion.
Only tested on Meta.
Steps to reproduce
- View [[User:Username/Monobook.css]]
Expected results
Either I automatically am redirected to [[User:Username/monobook.css]] or the
page tells me that this does not affect my Monobook settings. At the very
simplest, the custom page notice could be removed.
Actual results
I am led into believing that the page does work.
