"no redirects" option
Is there an option to not include redirects? ∞ΣɛÞ² 20:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
- I am not aware of such an option, but at least redirects are enclosed into <div class=allpagesredirect> (which already has italic CSS). So
div.allpagesredirect {display:none}
- will hide them (leaving empty table cells unfortunately), while
div.allpagesredirect a {color:gray}
- will simply make them easier to distinquish from normal pages. CSS code goes into your monobook.css ∴ Alex Smotrov 19:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I was looking for a built-in MediaWiki option (that should be present anyway). Oh and I use simple.css. ;) ∞ΣɛÞ² 21:36, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Probably not, but anyway
Is there any special page for suffixes? Such as to search for articles that end with (ice hockey) or something? I haven't found one, so I doubt there is, but I might as well ask. Bsroiaadn 13:38, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
- No, there isn't. Maybe request it at WP:VPR or WP:VPT; it's a neat idea. This, that and the other 07:34, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- Request a better search engine, too, since the current one sucks petunas, relying on external search engines (like Google) to pick up MediaWiki's slack. Misplaced Pages's navigation system sucks too, requiring dabs and categories to also pick up the slack. ∞ΣɛÞ² 19:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
- Don't reinvent the wheel. If google does the job there is no need for MediaWiki to do so. Also, your idea of what the dab pages are there for is plain wrong. As long as it's seen as a goal to be able to reach an article by typing the name directly dab pages will be necessary. No improvement in Wikipedias navigation system is going to change this, because the problem is in the ambiguity of the English language. Taemyr 01:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
