Wikifunctions talk:Report a technical problem

Should have added to it abstract:. Arlo Barnes (talk) 04:15, 24 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Arlo Barnes: Yes, we're waiting to run the interwiki script. See T420654: Set up an interwiki prefix for Abstract Wikipedia.

(Why is this on the talk page?) Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 13:43, 24 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

On the project page it says

Discuss with others: You can ask questions about possible bugs or feature ideas at a few locations. This may be helpful if you are unsure how to clearly describe the bug or feature idea:

• The discussion page here.

so I took that suggestion. Thank you for the Phabricator link.

@Arlo Barnes: OK, this is now done! Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 21:21, 24 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

I have the option enabled for automatically adding pages I create to my watch list, this does not work for some types of pages. This behavior is consistent across all my edits on this wiki.

Does work:

• Translation of messages
• Namespace Talk:

Does not work:

• Translation of categories
• Namespaces Help: (using translation tool)
• Functions, test cases, implementations, objects, etc.

Transcluded from my user page:

• HUGE BUGS which concern correctness, like, how are these still open:
  • phab:T373607 Test evaluations where the Implementation threw or returned void (Z24) are treated as successes
  • phab:T427454 2-ary apply pairwise / apply with common first/second evaluate incorrectly, returning a list with only copies of the final element
• Not-so-huge correctness bugs:
  • phab:T406784 Test evaluations are for an older revision of the Implementation, but aren't indicated as such and aren't cleared from cache for a while
  • phab:T407700 A Reference (Z9) pointing at a persistent Wikidata claim subtype (Z6020) is considered not equal to a literal Z6020 with the same Z9 in its identity field
  • phab:T417614 Fetch Wikidata item (Z6821) doesn't include sitelinks
  • phab:T423853 Argument reference (Z18) are not always resolved
• Major bugs which hinder editing:
  • phab:T386422 Allow currying / partial application
    • Not really a bug (although one dev seems to think it is), but this would simplify compositions so much, removing the need for a bunch of applyN helpers
  • phab:T433746 Test results refuse to load when there are very many tests for a Function
• Editing annoyances, which will disproportionately affect new/inexperienced users:
  • phab:T335713 Clicking "undo" in the history for a Function, Implementation, etc. brings up the editor but doesn't undo anything
  • phab:T343559 Always allow manually calling Implementations even if they aren't connected
  • phab:T410839 Test result details include the relevant Implementation but aren't considering which Implementations were chosen for recursive calls
    • Blocked by nestedMetadata functionality
  • phab:T433743 Hyperlinks in preview of localStorage clipboard are clickable
  • phab:T433744 "Copy result link" is not tied to the result/submission
  • phab:T433745 Unable to populate nested list when the UI component exists on page load ([Object object]-typed list)
• i18n fails:
  • phab:T343460 Indicate which language a foreign label is from
  • phab:T359663 mul labels aren't used as the default when no native label exists, nor are they used in search
  • phab:T410501 fetch Persistent object (Z828) and co. ignore the live version of predefined objects, only returning the hardcoded labels etc.
  • phab:T419365 Allow ruby annotations in HTML fragment (Z89)
• Features that would be needed for maintenance in the long term:
  • phab:T260953 MCR slot on persistent objects for long-form documentation
    • I got sick of waiting and made a talk page template
  • phab:T292892 Introduce a Union generic type
  • phab:T350715 Add an indicator to test evaluations which are particularly slow
  • phab:T383842 Provide an n-argument apply
    • The function in question works fine, but one dev said the user-land hack is unstable, unstable, and will likely break soon and refused to elaborate, so tracking this in case a bunch of Functions need rewriting suddenly
  • phab:T404897 Search for Functions by the programming languages of their Implementation(s)
  • phab:T410599 Prevent multiple inputs in persistent Functions sharing the same label in a language
  • phab:T419501 Include a link to the source for built-in Implementations
• Features that would be nice to have:
  • phab:T301418 Block-based visual programming interface
    • I got sick of waiting and made my own
  • phab:T343685 Re-use localised labels from Wikidata
