# I found another problem: there is the URL probably registered as the user: ../w/User:Contribution, so it appears in the “Special pages” list. At the same time, the page shows the contributions. Don't you think it needs some fix? — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]] 08:26, 27 November 2020 (UTC) | # I found another problem: there is the URL probably registered as the user: ../w/User:Contribution, so it appears in the “Special pages” list.

# The problems with that very bad yet important page MicrotonalInstruments referenced from the main navigation bar: it gives the title header "MicrotonalInstruments", must become "Microtonal Instruments", at the same time, the change should not break possible existing links (redirection?). (I want to wikify this page well because I already put some important fixes. But they go nowhere, because it is mostly dirty HTML inside wiki, not wiki — not maintainable. Before it is wikified, further effort would be a waste of time. I would do it, but not at once, and only when I'm tired of main work, that will require keeping this page "Under construction" for a short period of time.) — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]] 17:44, 27 November 2020 (UTC) | # The problems with that very bad yet important page MicrotonalInstruments referenced from the main navigation bar: it gives the title header "MicrotonalInstruments", must become "Microtonal Instruments", at the same time, the change should not break possible existing links (redirection?).

On the MicrotonalInstruments item above: I've found your comment in the history: "please resist any dd-"workarounds" the wiki will get fixed soon". I totally agree. I was about to show to you this kind of work-around, sorry that I make some redundant noise. I'm interested in resolving of the issue with the page name and "MicrotonalInstruments" vs. "Microtonal Instruments". When I have time, I can start to wikify the page without waiting to the fix of externally reference margin and other fixes. Would you agree is the only reasonable way to fix this content is to wikify it first? If I start, could we possibly clash if you do some fixes in parallel? Hope not... | |||
(Just for the record: we do have the history of changes and archiving, but these wiki techniques are badly outdated and not so operational. The civilized approach is the coupling with some appropriate revision control system, the way it is done by GitHub and its embedded Wiki (multiple standards with the default in the form of Markdown). By the way, I'm one of the collaborates of Microsoft Visual Studio Code, the author of Markdown extension written in JavaScript; it does a lot of things related to the document self-consistency, automatic TOC and links with advanced options, and, importantly, does typographic corrections on output, for example, converts --, ---, or "" into typographically correct Unicode, and a lot more, anyway, I got tons of experience with that. These typographical problems are very irritating to me. I examine the possibility of improving things by Mediawiki scripting — not at all sure if it may make sense. First of all, not so unsafe. Then, corrections wiki to wiki is bad: wiki source should remain clear, the corrections should be done on the fly between wiki and resulting HTML rendering, but it may work only globally, not on the per-user basis. Besides, JavaScript is badly outdated here. So, probably nothing would pay off the effort.) | |||
