Note that moving links out of components' description will make sync with bugzilla impossible. --Nemo 17:12, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
 * What about the descriptions that currently don't have the link in their Bugzilla description? --Waldir (talk) 18:08, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Either it's considered obvious, or it should be fixed by adding one. --Nemo 18:14, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed. So since this is a wiki and it's easy to sync, the descriptions should be first fixed/harmonized in bugzilla. Otherwise it would be detrimental to attempt to keep up with a list that is inconsistent and/or incomplete. --Waldir (talk) 02:56, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't understand your point. We're updating the description on the wiki and then we'll sync bugzilla with it. But bugzilla has only the description, not a table for each component, so if you remove crucial information it will be impossible to update bugzilla descriptions. --Nemo 08:15, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I dint't know that a bugzilla sync was planned. Well, I noticed that the bugzilla description can contain links, e.g. the "Apache config" component description in bugzilla has a link to the operations/apache-config repo (and the version on the wiki doesn't, btw). I imagine that such links are built using html markup, which is undesirable in the wiki, so a full sync would be awkward anyway; therefore, I don't see a problem with the links being appended to the desc in Bugzilla only (e.g. " ", or something to that effect), since that's not going to be the only difference anyway. --Waldir (talk) 16:01, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * No, appending URLs is horrible. Anyway, I knew that it's a lost battle. ;-) --Nemo 16:13, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, we'd have to choose between a less-than-ideal description string in bugzilla or a less-than-ideal string on the table... I personally prefer the table to be more streamlined as it's way more informative (and actually allows people to contribute to it without jumping through hoops) --Waldir (talk) 17:49, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Extension:Configure
If you're interested in it, not that there's a rather tedious but probably not too hard job to do about it, sync'ing the various config summaries in its i18n file with those on the wiki. See the tasks currently on translatewiki:User:Matma_Rex (who can't do it) and 40290 where this was half done. Cheers, Nemo 12:06, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
