Topic on Extension talk:DiscussionTools/Flow

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T310520

If I write a comment the own signature works. But any other comment is changing.

[[Benutzer:User]] > [[index.php?title=Benutzer:User]]

([[Benutzer Diskussion:User discussion]]) > ([[index.php?title=Benutzer Diskussion:User discussion]])

The extension add index.php?title= to both.

i. e. https://simpsonspedia.net/index.php?title=Diskussion%3AMoe_Szyslak&diff=317213&oldid=317211&diffmode=source

What's going wrong?

Extensions using the Parsoid library (including DiscussionTools and VisualEditor) have some issues on wikis that do not have short URLs set up.

This is reported as bug T310520 but I think it's unlikely that anyone will work on it soon.

It looks like you should be able to enable the use of short URLs on your wiki! Currently, your canonical URLs look like this: https://simpsonspedia.net/index.php?title=Moe_Szyslak but links like this also work: https://simpsonspedia.net/index.php/Moe_Szyslak.

You can set $wgUsePathInfo = true; to make MediaWiki use this format for the canonical URL, and that will probably also resolve the weird behavior in DiscussionTools. (You may also need to change $wgArticlePath if you previously customized it.)
