I am not sure if that functions makes sense anyway (except for making too long names breakable, see RC.
I never used this function in the past, but with long name like this page name, it very hard to read without spaces. We should have this working or remove this. Also see RC - page name should not break/wrap. We should consider wikiname style in the CSS file:
.wikiname
{
white-space: nowrap;
}Little of topic: Publishers in Israel pay to editors and translators by the amount of characters. Some of them don't pay for the spaces. One editor was so angry about this, he send the publisher his work without spaces...
Page names SHOULD wrap on RC or you end up with a column needing 50% width (e.g. for a page like this one) and wasting a lot of space, squeezing together comment column to a few %. And for them being able to wrap, we need some spaces in there - either at subpage separator /, or at word boundaries AND subpage separator (like currently). -- ThomasWaldmann 2004-01-16 11:51:45
That is true only for the current RecentChanges layout - one table row per page and all edits. see MoinMoinBugs/AddSpacesAndRecentChanges.
Plan
- Assigned to:
- Status: fixed in patch-212. Wiki names are displayed with/without spaces according to user preferences, ui elements like edit bar/ action menu (in modern and rightsidebar themes) use always words with spaces.
