MediaWiki talk:Returnto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What is the point of this message? The $1 is apparently replaced with Main Page, which never seems appropriate. Would it be better to change the $1 to [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}]]? Superm401 - Talk 21:46, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- It appears underneath the source of the page when you try to edit a protected page – 86.140.176.154 11:01, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Protected edit request
Enclose this message in <span id="mw-returnto"> ... </span> tags, so that its appearence may be customized using CSS. (If it turns out that this message only displays as plain text, this won't work and will have to be reverted, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't). Thanks – 86.140.176.154 11:01, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please don't break this
User:Mets501's edits broke the entire functioning of the returnto message, which is to include a link back to some particular page, usually the source page of some action. This caused bugzilla:11339.
Please don't override that link again. If you think some uses are listing the Main Page instead of the correct link, please report _that_ as a bug so the software can be fixed; don't just break every other use of it. :) --brion 19:28, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was unaware that this was used in multiple locations and not just in the bottom of "view source" pages. Sorry again. —METS501 (talk) 20:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Can we get that functionality reintroduced back to the rollback function? El_C 20:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Period
I've deleted the period, so its not included in my copy paste when using rollback. Revert if need be. Mercury 13:59, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- I've reverted your change; without the period, Special:Userlogout, and the confirmation screen after Special:Userlogin, both become grammatically incorrect (and possibly other pages as well); the 'return to' link looks strange on those pages after a lot of complete sentences when it isn't a complete sentence itself. --ais523 16:51, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
