[Typo3-typo3org] TER to Wiki Problem

[Elmar Hinz]

Hello,

I am thinking about a solution how links from extensions in TER to the 
wiki could work.

The idea is to print out a link with each extension that points to the 
wiki. For the extension key "rtehtmlarea" the link would look like this:

http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/rtehtmlarea

By following this link one could instantly use all features of the wiki 
to comment and document the extension.

I would like to put this in as a feature request. But there is still a 
problem with the underscore. tt_news would generate a page with the 
title "Tt news". Not really pretty.

http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/tt_news



I have two ideas. But both result in other problems.

1.) Using the extension name instead of the key:

a. The extension name isn't garanteed to be unique.
b. Extension names contain special characters like spaces, 
questionmarks, commas that would need special treatments, before 
outputting the link.


2.) Using a special prefix for extension keys:

http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Extension:tt_news

Coding of the wiki source would be necessary to identify the prefix and 
to keep the underscores in this special case.


Regards

Elmar
