[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Agree that we allow ourselves to add new Link Types
Hi devs, During the discussions regarding http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XRENDERING-290 ("Add support for linking to a user profile page in XWiki Syntax”) we hesitated adding a new link type named “user:” because that would have broken backward compatibility for users having a wiki named “user”. See http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/vw3derowozijqalr and the ensuing http://markmail.org/message/t2wb2xq7534qsshg Now time has passed and we’ve just added the support for the “space” prefix for wiki links, as in e.g. [[space:Space1.space]]. FYI, we’ve added the following in the release notes: “ We've introduced the possibility to explicitly create a link to a Space in XWiki Syntax 2.1, e.g. [[space:Space1.Space2]]. However if you had a subwiki named space the new notation will conflict with the syntax for referencing that wiki. Thus you'll need to edit existing links such as [[space:something]] to [[doc:space:something]]. And if you wish to reference a given space in the space subwiki, you'd write [[space:space:something]]. “ The rationale is that the resource reference syntax is not really tied to the wiki syntax and we’re not going to increment the wiki syntax version each time we add a new type of resource. So with this VOTE I’d like to ensure that we’re ok to allow ourselves to continue adding new resource reference types. For example we could add “user:” in the future without having to go through a VOTE again. Whenever we do this, we would just need to mention it in the release notes. Of course we shouldn’t add a prefix named “xwiki” ;) Please cast your vote. Here’s my +1 Thanks -Vincent
+1 As someone (was Denis I think but can't find where anymore) suggested, it would be nice to introduce some admin section to review and enable/disable resource types (any extension can provide new resource type). On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 6:20 PM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote:

+1, since any extension could do it, why not ? and yes, we need a way to disable some, or even better rename them, since the breakage could be huge for existing wikis. On Tue, Feb 9, 2016 at 9:58 AM, Guillaume Delhumeau < [email protected]> wrote:
