I opened the request from bug 4040 as an individual bug. Please look at the links to the "parent pages" at [[yi:user:Gangleri/tests/TOC_and_sections]]. There the links overlap. The links should be embeded as: ‫[[באַניצער:Gangleri]]‬ | ‫[[באַניצער:Gangleri/tests|tests]]‬ regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
changed summary to emphasize the todo's: new summary: BiDi: Embed links for parent pages according to content language (In reply to comment #0) > I opened the request from bug 4040 as an individual bug.Please look at the links to the "parent pages" at[[yi:user:Gangleri/tests/TOC_and_sections]]. There the links overlap. *details* If you move the mouse either on באַניצער or on Gangleri you will see that the link is "interrupted" by "tests". I think it should be a general rule that links should be generated only by consecutive characters only. > The links should be embeded as:‫[[באַניצער:Gangleri]]‬ | ‫[[באַניצער :Gangleri/tests|tests]]‬regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]] Please use a method which is suitable for the most browsers. We should use the same method for all such / similar fixes. See how bug bug 3922 is implemented. bug 3922: links are not properly rendered in a BiDi category list *providing more testcases* a) http://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=129120 http://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=user:Gangleri/tests/BiDi/%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%AE% D8%AF%D9%85_M%C3%BCnchen_%28%D9%85%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AE%29/foo/bar&oldid=129120 there "Gangleri" is in the middle; there are parent pages to the left and to the right of it b) http://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=129113 http://ar.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=user:Gangleri/tests/BiDi/%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%AE% D8%AF%D9%85_%D9%85%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AE_%28M%C3%BCnchen%29/foo/bar&oldid=129113 there you can see two overlappings according to the BiDi algorithm; move the mouse on "foo" or "Gangleri"; what looks very odd is that between the two "|" characters located leftmost and rightmost to "foo" there are other characters as well
Test cases are available at http://www.anubite.co.uk/mediawiki/head-rtl/index.php/category:Bugzilla/04045 a RTL wiki mirrored at another LTR wiki http://www.anubite.co.uk/mediawiki/head/index.php/category:Bugzilla/04045 *note* The page title at http://www.anubite.co.uk/mediawiki/head-rtl/index.php/user:Gangleri/bugzilla_report_/_04045_/_%D7%90_a_/_b_%D7%91 looks like a puzzle. This is what the bidirectional algorithm does with such mixed LTR and RTL charactes. Thanks Rob!
*note* The title of http://www.anubite.co.uk/mediawiki/head-rtl/index.php/user:Gangleri/bugzilla_report_/_04045_/_a_b_/_%D7%90_%D7%91_/_%21 משתמש:Gangleri/bugzilla report / 04045 / a b / א ב / ! displays as משתמש:Gangleri/bugzilla report / 04045 / a b / א ב / ! However if you know how to copy the page title from the url above you may copy and wikify it. This is why directionality of titles should *not* be tuched. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
We would have to change the message 'pipe-separator' from ' | ' to ' ‫|‫ ' for RTL interface and ' ‪|‪ ' for LTR interface, but the problem is how to make the message dependent on the direction of the interface.
Fix committed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#change,5231 . (Thanks a million to hashar for cleaning up the Git mess that was involved in committing this simple little patch...)
