We've already standardized on ''not'' using the idea of WikiWords;
 
* What's this 'we' shit, white man?  -- RobinLeePowell
** everyone who was using the wiki a lot before it moved? --jay
 
** It's even (somewhat inexplicably) the second line on the [[jbocre: FrontPage|FrontPage]].
 
why should we need to force our names into them? I want to go by [[jbocre: rab.spir|rab.spir]], because [[jbocre: RabSpir|RabSpir]] is simply wrong for a Lojban name. [[jbocre: TsaliTsali|TsaliTsali]] is even more horribly contrived.
 
Is there something in the Wiki source that can be easily changed for this?
 
* What's wrong with [[jbocre: rab.spir|rab.spir]]? [[jbocre: RabSpir|RabSpir]] is just for sign in (and I have only had to sign in the very first time I used the wiki). --[[User:And Rosta|And Rosta]]
** It shows up on the RecentChanges page and links to [[jbocre: RabSpir|RabSpir]], which I don't intend to create.
 
The patch is there, so could whoever runs the Wiki (Jay?) please apply it before we get too attached to our WangleWord names?

[[jbocre: Jordan DeLong|Jordan DeLong]] agree.  WikiWords are horrible and ugly.  Robin: here's a patch which 'fixes' it.  It however goes all the way and allows everything (spaces, ^H, etc) in user names.  I don't think this is neccesarily bad for our purposes though:
 
(apply in the lib/ dir).

Btw, while we're at it, I also think we should munge it so it doesn't automatically make FooLikeThis into links.  I can put a patch to fix this also if people want.
 
* There are a few links on this wiki which rely on that behavior -- [[jbocre: adam|adam]]
** All the more reason to fix it now and prevent people from introducing new ones. -- mi'e [[jbocre: .djorden.|.djorden.]]
 
*** You '''must''' be joking.  Tell you what, you go through and fix every place in the wiki that that feature is used, and I'll consider it.  -- RobinLeePowell
**** Nope:  I think when jay first put up the old wiki he put a thing about wanting to standardize on [[jbocre: and|and]] for links.  Anyone who ignored it deserves to have their pages break.  --jrd
 
**** Furthermore, it'd be trival to fix them all using perl, if anyone actually cared to do so.  I'd rather just let them break though (people can fix them if they see them broken).  --jrd
***** I don't think you understand.  I'm pretty damned certain that the internal functioning of phpwiki relies on this behaviour.  -- RobinLeePowell
 
****** I do understand, I looked at the source.  The easy way to fix it is to gut the part of the html renderer which looks for WikiNameRegexp and forms them into links.  I can post a patch which does this if you're willing to apply it. --jrd

Can we fix it so that double [[jbocre: always escapes (e.g. "[jbocre: rab.spir|rab.spir]]" gets turned into a link, I think, as might [[jbocre: this '''nonlink''' here|this '''nonlink''' here]])? (This comes out as garbage on screen, and proves my point.) --[[User:And Rosta|And Rosta]] (when I say "can *we* fix" it, I mean us collectively, of course; I myself am incapable, and merely gratefully depend on the expertise of others)
 
* This appears to be related to that little "use new markup" button.  Perhaps the way to escape [jbocre: has changed, but a brief glance around yeilded no data---I'm guessing it's a bug.  Workaround is just don't use new things like tables on pages where you also want to escape [jbocre: .  -jrd
* SandBox has tables and escaping [jbocre: both working at once. Are we supposed to use new markup or not use it?
 
** SandBox has the "use new markup" button unchecked.  I guess tables are allowed with that off then.
*** New Markup appears to be broken, AFAICT.  -- RobinLeePowell
