Description Joshua Ciappara 2009-02-28 13:34:24 UTC 
You guys are probably pestered about this all he time, but will it be possible sometime to allow <noinclude> to work in the MediaWiki: namespace? This tag would be invaluable to description and documentation. Thanks.
Comment 1 Niklas Laxström 2009-02-28 16:10:16 UTC 
I don't think mixing documentation with contents in this case is a good idea. However, there has been talk about providing a mechanism to show the existing message documentation we already have. There is still unsolved problems that prevent implementing it right now.
Comment 2 Joshua Ciappara 2009-03-02 11:59:43 UTC 
I'm certainly no software expert, but what makes you feel that documentation here wouldn't be a good idea? Many of the MediaWiki: pages on the English Wikipedia, for instance, would be quite difficult to comprehend for a new user (or even an experienced one, for that matter). If we could describe the usage locally, this problem would be eliminated. All the same.
Comment 3 Niklas Laxström 2009-03-02 12:09:14 UTC 
My point was about *mixing* documentation with the content. They should be separate.
Comment 4 Nemo 2012-07-25 07:54:12 UTC 
*** Bug 6907 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 5 Pavel Selitskas [wizardist] 2013-01-10 14:19:34 UTC 
Niklas, can we make documentation accessible via {{int:Messageid/qqq}}? The bug subject could be implemented then via editnotice, I guess.
Comment 6 Nemo 2013-01-10 14:23:49 UTC 
Pavel, {{MediaWiki:<messageid>/qqq}} already works, but some cleanup is needed, see bug 41578.
Comment 7 Siebrand Mazeland 2013-01-10 22:42:55 UTC 
The Wikimedia Language Engineering team has no plans to actively add this feature. Patches are welcome and will be reviewed, of course.
