Bug 3451

this is more useful I guess:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BugSquish

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Bugzilla_extensions

Indeed, these extensions are very interesting. Would need to be tested; but these are complements to the above suggestion.

For the first one, how about a simple template ?

[https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id={{{1}}} Mageia bug #{{{1}}}]
<noinclude>


e.g. automatic link to Mageia bugzilla bug 3451 with

<nowiki>{{bug|3451}}</nowiki>

displaying as

Mageia bug #3451

</noinclude>

It's in place and it works.  (I used it to load this bug.)

I can try the second if you like.
(Just give me an example of a file to test.)

Can work yes, but that's not it. Interwiki (and bugs, and downloads and maybe later others) are things meant to be fixed once and unified through all our localized wikis. If we need to update these later, a single change in the config for all wikis is better than looking after each template in each language.

I added the two entries in the database. After testing on the wiki, it looks like it is working for download links, but not for bug links (I don't know why).

Database has this :

mediawiki_en=> SELECT * from interwiki WHERE iw_prefix = 'bug';
 iw_prefix |                   iw_url                   | iw_local | iw_trans 
-----------+--------------------------------------------+----------+----------
 bug       | https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=$1 |        0 |        0
(1 row)

mediawiki_en=> SELECT * from interwiki WHERE iw_prefix = 'download';
 iw_prefix |                  iw_url                   | iw_local | iw_trans 
-----------+-------------------------------------------+----------+----------
 download  | http://www.mageia.org/downloads/get/?q=$1 |        0 |        0
(1 row)

Thanks! Strange. Wondering, could https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Template:Bug go into the way. Could you check by deleting the template? (can't do here)

I removed Template:Bug, but it didn't fix the problem.

:-/ What about using "bugs" or "bugzilla" in iw_prefix instead of "bug"?

Partially related: this extension could be interesting in the future: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpecialInterwiki

In the meantime, I think a bug template would be useful.
{{bug|3451}} would invoke the template directly, while
[[bug:3451]] should call the registered intermedia for bug,
so there shouldn't be any conflict.
(Wouldn't a template be a little more efficient ?)

BTW, are there plans to localise bugzilla ?
Or the links to bugzilla ?
Or is it just to use the same style as intermedia links ?
(Not a problem, just wondering.)

Shoudn't, but you never know.

See my previous reply. Depends on where you place efficiency.

> BTW, are there plans to localise bugzilla ?

No.

Not sure I understand.

Old ? it's not really working

No, but we did follow the procedure to do it, and it doesn't work. Well, it partly works (the downoad keyword is ok, the bug one not). And I don't see how we will get any further than that. So maybe it's a wontfix or a fixed, or in between.
