Description Subfader 2011-09-18 10:40:17 UTC
When I use {{Special:Prefixindex/Foo Bar}} only a certain ammount of pages are shown.
It's just a  poor plain list without any info about more pages. Ass pagination links on bottom please.

Example: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Subfader/Pagination_on_special_page_inclusion

** I'd like to see some "Ass pagination", but I ment "Add pagination".
Comment 2 Subfader 2011-09-18 10:42:21 UTC
Did I already express my hate for poor Bugzilla features such as preview, edit or a proper search? :P

With the pagination links linking to the special page directly? On one hand it does make sense, on the other, people translcude special pages to get a specific set of results into a page (For example, list of user subpages). I'm not sure if they'd want the paging links going to some other page.

I don't care much where the link goes as long as there is some or info about more existing pages or even navigation.

"people translcude special pages to get a specific set of results into a page (For example, list of user subpages)"

Yeah but you're introuble as soon as you have more than X subpages.

Same for other inclusions, e.g. {{Special:Newpages}}
Comment 5 Brion Vibber 2011-09-19 21:07:51 UTC
Broadly speaking, it probably makes sense in the future to replace these awful old-style inline inclusions with dynamic widgets that can query the wiki in a way that's reasonably friendly to caching etc. Those should do any paging/refresh/etc via ajax and such, and not be embedding separate data into the low-level page output.

I'd pretty much agree with that. ajax/api makes sense here.
