MediaWiki talk:Allpagesbadtitle

This message is missing the "or" between "one" and "more". -- Dissident (Talk) 03:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC) What Dissident says. --ais523 17:56, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. Surpised this wasn't noticed sooner.  Thanks for pointing it out. JesseW, the juggling janitor 08:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Grammar?
Shouldn't the statement read The given page title is invalid...? Any comments about this would be helpful. -- S iva1979 Talk to me  09:25, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I have tagged this talk page accordingly with the above mentioned template. If users disagree with my proposal, they are free to remove the template and explain their reasoning on this matter. -- S iva1979 Talk to me  21:09, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I've rephrased it. Let me know if this helps. JesseW, the juggling janitor 05:31, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

A question
I have no clue if anybody is watching this page, but would it be possible to put a link somewhere that pointed to a list of what exactly it is that you can't put in article titles, to avoid frustrating people who have to keep guessing at appropriate titles? Or is that already done somehow using another feature? --tjstrf talk 10:31, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, if you try an invalid title (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:| works), you get a different message which does have a link. I'm not sure how to set this off. --ais523 13:29, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Looking at the source, that page is referring to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Badtitle (which in turn claims to not exist when entered directly). It's also not triggered by attempting to create pages with prefixes from other languages, those just redirect you to the page in the other language. So do we have any idea what this page even does? --tjstrf talk 00:44, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Please change invalid interlanguage/interwiki prefix to interlanguage/interwiki prefix. There is not such invalid prefixes, just that they are invalid page titles. Removing invalid would be more clarifying. 54nd60x (talk) 07:37, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking we should just default this, the default is:  - anything wrong with that? —  xaosflux  Talk 10:00, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't inter-language be interlanguage and inter-wiki be interwiki? 54nd60x (talk) 11:23, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * spelling things like that should be reported on phab, to fix the base message - localization isn't the best solution for something like that. — xaosflux  Talk 13:41, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * (I've defaulted the message). — xaosflux  Talk 10:33, 16 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Also something else that I decided to bring up here as it didn't apparently get watched on the corresponding talk page is editnotices. I know that editnotices have their own format and due to this, it's not recommended to have documentation, sandboxes, and testcases for editnotices as they could be existing for other pages. Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Category shows there is documentation and sandbox, and there are also similar things for other editnotices (specifically I noticed namespace notices) that may need cleaning up. Can those pages be deleted or the documentation moved into a different page to be forked from on the template? Also the sandboxes? Thanks. 54nd60x (talk) 11:29, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Probably needs more discussion, in general EN's don't need documentation - though a very small minority of them (such as ones that apply to an entire namespace) could benefit from them. — xaosflux  Talk 13:41, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
