Bug ID: 36179 Summary: New bug links are automatically added even before review occurs Product: WineHQ Apps Database Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: appdb-unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: frederic.delanoy@gmail.com
When you add a bug link to an AppDB entry, you get a message
"The Bug Link you submitted will be added to the database after being reviewed."
while it gets automatically added anyway.
Either the bug link shouldn't be added automatically, but only upon an "OK" review, or the message should disappear.

--- Comment #1 from Jerome Leclanche adys.wh@gmail.com --- Is there really a point to these bug link reviews? They seem like an annoyance more than an useful anti-spam strategy.
As long as a mass revert can easily be done by admins...

Is there really a point to these bug link reviews? They seem like an annoyance more than an useful anti-spam strategy.
Bug links are not susceptible to spam, but people do sometimes mistype bug numbers and there's always some joker who wants to link bug 1 to something, so yes, they do need to be reviewed. However, since the links appear right away, I would recommend changing the message to something like "The link has been tentatively added to the database and queued for review by the maintainer or an administrator."

--- Comment #3 from Ken Sharp imwellcushtymelike@gmail.com --- They're only there for as long as it takes for it to be reviewed. It's no disaster if someone accidentally links the wrong bug.
