Forum:Namespace Link Glitches

Whenever I try to type a link with a namespace, and click the suggested page from the drop-down, it deletes the namespace. i.e.  becomes

Either this is a glitch, or maybe the dumbest thing yet in terms of functionality changes.


 * This is a temporary problem, which has already been identified by Wikia Staff as a priority to fix. The auto-suggest feature is being rebuilt, and will undergo a series of intermediate changes, not all of them desirable.  Ya gotta break some eggs if ya want to make an omelette ...  17:14: Wed 23 May 2012

Mmm. However normally chefs break eggs in a controlled environment such as a bowl in the kitchen, rather than all over their customer's faces.-- Category:Acer4666 18:10, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

 * Normally the customer pays the chef to make that omelette. Also, the restaurant doesn't necessarily provide a public-use bathroom or otherwise allow customers to use any of the restaurant's services or amenities for free. (Just completing the analogy, as I see it. I agree with your point though.)


 * And for the sake of completeness, customers didn't pay the chef, but on the other hand, they brought the ingredients to the chef so he could make the omelette. And even in that situation, people have all the right to complaint about that restaurant and to spread over the world that's the worst restaurant in the city. --Category:Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 18:53, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Meh, I've been to worse. And this omelette is a huge one, unlike most of the omelettes Wikia makes. Just sayin'. Cat: meow ∙ hunt 01:47, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

 * If readers can't find what they want (and since Search and Suggestions don't provide the proper results) we just loose audience, which drops ad revenue, so, the new search was buggy when it was introduced, and not thought out or tested properly. Normally, the business would worry about driving away the ad buyers by reducing traffic... Even if the search results page is the proper way to do search, by not having the proper search results in the dropdown or results page, it doesn't work. If people don't get the suggestions from the drop down entered properly, they'll stop adding content, which reduces readership, because there's less content, so people go elsewhere.
