::: The use of the ''raw'' version was only a suggestion and is not planned to be integrated here (as far as I know). So it can be decided on a case by case basis.

::::It definately ''had'' been implemented . . . on most of the Wikia sites, where the 'long-hand' size template was used (rather than the shorthand templates which are used on most Wikipedia/Wiktionary etc), the raw was used in the long URL entry. I've had to correct loads of these. And as for the Wikipedia/Wiktionary etc short-code templates, it seems to have been implemented into these too - though these don't seem to be causing a problem. Back to where raw has been used on the Wikia entries, it isn't a problem for experienced wiki editors to correct this, but for the causal wiki reader (like: ''what happens when I click here'') - an error message doesn't look very good nor very professional - so we should both refrain from using raw on Wikia entries, and correct any existing Wikia entries which use it.

=== action=raw is deprecated === | |||
According to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27331 we can expect at least MediaWiki 1.18 and subsequent versions to fail to honour the "action=raw" parameter on [[special:statistics]]. The statistics page will display as if the "raw" parameter isn't there, so this is mostly an issue for any automated scripts which grab page counts from multiple MediaWiki projects. If the only reason for using "raw" was to force English-language output, perhaps "uselang=en" would be suitable? | |||
I'm not sure why this would affect Wikia as they normally run one version outdated by design. It does affect [[Kamelopedia]] and a couple of minor languages recently added to the [[Uncyclopedia]] series, as well as possibly [[Wikipedia]] itself (as the location of the original bug report). Odds are, once the "alpha" designation is removed from MediaWiki 1.18 in a month or so, "action=raw" will break on wikis updating to that version in significant number? --[[User:Carlb|Carlb]] 21:13, 28 July 2011 (PDT) | |||
