Ian Weller tells me FAS users can be queried on IRC by messaging zodbot: (02:56:24 PM) ianweller: .fas karsten wade (02:56:25 PM) zodbot: ianweller: quaid 'Karsten Wade' ..<snip>.. (02:56:29 PM) ianweller: .wikilink quaid (02:56:31 PM) zodbot: ianweller: [[User:quaid|Karsten Wade]] This does seem to be handy, if not outisde typical workflow. It doesn't seem complete though: (03:08:31 PM) dbewley1: .fas dale bewley (03:08:33 PM) zodbot: dbewley1: 'dale bewley' Not Found! I checked and I have the 'privacy' box ticked in FAS, so I guess that's why I'm missing. I see that to appease the wiki czar, we've so far decided to link to [[User:FAS_LOGIN|Full Name]] and fall back to camel case after a manual query fails. To be honest, I'm not very inclined to search for FAS usernames given a full name just to link them from the article. I think it would be a little too onerous. If camel case names are deemed evil, should we discuss how valuable it is to have name links at all? Generally I'm all for the more links the better, but I'd prefer to keep things as easy as possible on us writers. Maybe we can discuss beat writer personal workflows. Describe our own habits, and pick up some tips from others. Probably best to start a new thread for that. -- Dale Bewley - Unix Administrator - Shields Library - UC Davis GPG: 0xB098A0F3 0D5A 9AEB 43F4 F84C 7EFD 1753 064D 2583 B098 A0F3 _______________________________________________ Fedora-news-list mailing list Fedora-news-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-news-list
