Like this:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:AllPages/Hill
used to display 480 titles starting at "Hill". Now it does what PrefixIndex
does. If I wanted that, I'd use Prefixindex. How do we get access to the
original function? (And I don't understand the bit about "excessively long
output" at all, it always displayed 480 titles (except at the end of the
wiki).
It is now broken, and should be put back. (In particular, the python
wikipedia framework has been broken.)
Two things in particular are now broken: the ability to display a section of
the title index from an arbitrary starting point, and the the ability to
display titles starting with at a prefix that doesn't exist in the database.
(Also the undesirable switch from Allpages to Prefixindex.)
How do we do those now?
Robert
(also a meta question: how do we find out about these things before waking
up to find them broken?)
