Description Chris Wood 2004-09-01 02:58:47 UTC
If you include a template with headers in an article with it's own headers, the
headers from the templates have the wrong IDs, like this:
==Header in article (id="1")==
==Header from template (id="1")==
==Header2 from template (id="2")==
==Header2 in article (id="2")==

...which leads to unexpected results when clicking on the edit link to a section
(you may be sent to edit a completely different section).

Is this possible to fix? If not, we should probably disallow headers in templates...

I've marked this as major because, although it has a workaround, users may not
realise what has happened, leading to inadvertent screw-ups...
Comment 1 Chris Wood 2004-09-09 01:56:19 UTC
(Sorry, marked wrong bug as resolved)
Comment 2 Muke Tever 2004-09-15 00:43:50 UTC
Note also that if there isn't a native header corresponding to the template's bogus ID; e.
g. the article is like this--

==Header in article (id="1")==
==Header from template (id="1")==
==Header2 from template (id="2")==

--the user clicking the [edit] link for the header with id 2 will be presented with an 
empty edit box.  

Either the included page shouldn't generate [edit] links, or the [edit] links should point 
to the included page directly (in which case the user must be informed his edits could 
affect many pages).

Fixed in CVS HEAD and REL1_3. See Bug 60
Comment 4 River Tarnell 2004-09-21 02:38:25 UTC
This isn't fixed, but the behaviour is wrong in a different way.  The edit links
are now numbered 1, 2, 3, 4... as if they were all in the article.  See
[[User:Kate/sandbox2]].
