Gentlemen new topic, the bar has gone up. :roll:

https://crowdin.com/translate/freecad-a ... pl#6582166

The link I provided contains a Wiki page reference in the translation string.

Of course every translator can modify it to his own language version ... but this is not what I wanted to point out.

If you change the name of the page in any way, the link in the program will be dead :!:

Below is the content for those who do not have an account on the Crowdin platform, but are interested in the topic.
The BIM workbench also has a <a href="https://wiki.freecadweb.org/BIM_Workben ... t;complete documentation</a> available under the Help menu. The "what's this?" button will also open the help page of any tool from the toolbars.
let this be just an example ...

Not exactly a housekeeping issue, but yes there are more such cases. F.e. the links in the Help menu. It is not very likely that the BIM_Workbench page will be renamed, but if that happens redirects will of course be created so that old links still work.

Or are you proposing a different solution?

Well, I have no idea how to solve it.

But I wanted to bring this to your attention.

The strings in Crowdin contain links to various pages, that one is just an example...

https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Special:DoubleRedirects
there is one for "Exposing C++ to Python/ru"
appears to require renaming/deletion of pages to fix it

broken redirects have some as well...

btw, it would be nice if there was a graphic template instead of just small font text link on the new features...

as idea, someone would obviously need to do a nice svg (the one i did is of course useless, artistry is not my cup of tea...)

Thanks. The double redirect was fixed. The pages with the broken redirects were not used and have been deleted.

Regarding the suggested template:
I don't know if it is wise to introduce new templates. Right now they don't survive when the Wiki is converted to GitHub. Markdown does not seem to support them?

Yup, that seems to be the plan.

learned 2 things about the wiki...

a) the wiki is smart enough to do diffs on complete copy/paste - cool, that means that one can just copy a complete page into any editor with highlight for wiki, do the edits there (much more pleasant than doing them in the browser), paste the whole thing and the wiki takes care of the actual diff, sweet!!


b) one has to wait a long time for seeing the update of an image when performing an "upload new version" to replace the image, it just did not show to begin with...

however it seems like some cache is now updated, and it somehow worked...

anyhow https://wiki.freecadweb.org/File:Macro_ ... _form1.png can be deleted now.

while we are at it, do not see any use for 16x16 png icons...

or an unused windows logo...

some of these pics have links, so if no objections, i will work those links away and then someone can do the wipe on that list...

ps: it turned out to be 3 things, one about the forum mark-up as well, the links render as links although they do not have any markup on them - did not know that before... (or maybe i did and forgot about it :-))
