I went to Omegawiki and searched for "ear" When I got to that page (after the diambiguation page), the heading read: DefinedMeaning:who (5510) instead of DefinedMeaning:ear All of the definitions and synonyms/translations were for "ear". There's a screen capture of what I saw here: http://www.mediamax.com/rsperberg/Hosted/omegawiki/who-for-ear.jpg This duplicated behavior I experienced earlier today. In that instance, I first searched for and edited the "mouth" page, then searched for and edited the "nose" page. However, when I was on the page with the "mouth" definitions, it had a different heading, and when I was on the page with the "nose" definitions, the heading was DefinedMeaning:mouth (5471) This took place this morning. The log says the time was 13:24. This morning I was using Firefox 1.5.0.11. This evening, I was using IE ver 7.0 (7.0.5730.11.xpsp_sp2_gdr.061219-0316CO), on Win XP SP2.
Hm-m. It seems like a bug to me, and I don't see reference to it here. But a note at Omegawiki indicates this is known behavior, so I guess this is a false alarm. Rsperberg
The id of the DM for "ear" with definition "The organ of hearing, consisting of the pinna, auditory canal, eardrum, malleus, incus, stapes and cochlea." is "who (5510)". I can see how this is confusing, but it is not a bug. DM ids cannot be renamed.
Reopening since this annoying and confusing "feature" should imho dissapear. Actually, when linking to "Definition:something_(numeric-id)", the "something" part is required but irrelevant, and can even be empty. What appears on the final page, is also pretty irrelevant. It reflects a piece of edit history. So, we should find page titles better suited for human consumption on the long run.
