Line 18:
* I wish there was a quick way to pump out pages in LaTeX
* I wish there was a way to go to a language page, click on a task link, and jump to that language for that task
: Should be fairly with Javascript by peeking at the referring URL. Probably trivial. If someone provides me with a .JS, I'd likely add it. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 09:38, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
:: Try this: <lang javascript>document.location = document.location + "#" + document.referrer.split("/").slice(-1);</lang> --[[User:Guga360|Guga360]] 22:03, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
* I wish there was a clean (i.e. easily editable) way to share code between pages
** Something like WP infobox template transclusion? --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 19:29, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
*** I don't know; I haven't played with that feature. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 09:38, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
* I wish there was a way to display a cross-section of the Solutions by Language category and the Solutions by Task category
** Sorta done with ImplSearchBot. Not likely to be done in a complete fashion, as the matrix is too large, though a paginated version is plausible.
* I wish pages could include a list of "what links here", rather than have it as a link on the side
** Should be doable with a theme that uses JS to query api.php. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 09:38, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
* I wish [[C#]] worked
** Not likely to happen at all with pretty URLs, as the # gets interpreted as the basis for an anchor target. However, it may be possible to pre-hook Apache's processing of <nowiki>[[link]]</nowiki>, and have it use a non-pretty link instead of a pretty one. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 09:38, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
* I wish it were possible to give libraries aliases. (i.e. [[GTK]], [[Gtk]], [[GTK+]], [[Gtk+]], [[Gtk2]] and [[PyGTK]] are all pretty much the same.)
* I wish there was a program to convert Vim syntax highlighting scripts into PHP files, so that we might have more robust syntax highlighting.
** This isn't so necessary any more; I've got a much better understanding of GeSHi, a langfile generator wizard is in the works, and I'm getting langfile submissions every week. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 09:38, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
==[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]]==
* I wish the Google search were built into the page and didn't log me out
** Is the Google search still logging you out? It hasn't done that to me. However, I could probably add an embedded Google search widget below the MediaWiki search box. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 09:43, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
* I wish links weren't case-sensitive
* I wish a category's links on pages would disappear when the category was deleted
Line 44 ⟶ 52:
:::This wish is low priority for me. I just thought it'd be cool to put the number of edits I had on my userpage. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 17:28, 4 March 2008 (MST)
* I wish you had to preview an edit to make it
** This can be done in your preferences. I wouldn't want to force it site-wide. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 09:43, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
*I wish div boxes didn't mess up the edit links on a page.
** Is this still happening? --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 09:43, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
::Yep. Look in the [[sandbox]] at the fourth and fifth task divs that I put on there. There are a bunch edit links next to them that came from other headings. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 17:58, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
::Now that I look at it I don't think that shows it. I forget what did it before. I'll have to experiment more later. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 18:51, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
*I wish that if a category were redirected to another category, its members would be added to the new category. Ex: Page1 is a member of Category:Cat1, then Category:Cat1 gets blanked to say <nowiki>"#REDIRECT [[:Category:Cat2]]"</nowiki>, Page1 should now be a member of Category:Cat2.
*I wish that sorting of category members ignored case (ex: GUI comes before Games in Solutions by Task).
:Add a <nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT:key}}</nowiki> to the page.--[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 20:52, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
*I wish MW could automatically change the edit comment link from <nowiki>"{{header|Lang}}"</nowiki> to "Lang".
::When editing, so that the "comments" in the changelog are right and the redirect link at the end goes to where you were editing? That would be nice. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 21:43, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
Line 77 ⟶ 90:
::: It was an ancient doubt of mine. I understood lately that in "common" pages the absence of + help keeping the programming examples sorted; anyway it would be nice if a mediawiki setup would allow to autosort == sections... or maybe it's just extra cpu load that can be avoided. --[[User:ShinTakezou|ShinTakezou]] 14:09, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
:::: Yeah. Manual sorting is easy enough (especially given current update rates) that there's really no need to put in machinery to do it; not enough gain to justify the pain. —[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 15:18, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
::: Automatically sorting language examples would be an appropriate task for a bot. --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 22:07, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
==[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]]==
* Recent Changes feed with more entries than just 25, so that it's easier to keep up to date with ''all'' edits (since any one of them could e.g. be a change to task reqs I need to know about, or a discussion point I want to contribute to, or ...); as it is, new edits often fall off the end of the feed when I check it in the morning. Watching isn't helpful because I would have to watch many pages, and the watch notification mail doesn't include diffs like the feed does. The obvious URL to use is http://rosettacode.org/mw/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&feed=atom&limit=200 , but that still returns only 25. --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 11:48, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
