Components [ticket system] should be accessible through the wiki (see attachments)

[Ivan G Shevchenko <linuxadmin@…>]

it is very annoying, that one have to:
1) create components inside the admin-tickets section
2) create SAME components inside the wiki

what if i have dozens of components?

while i am sure, that i'm not the first one to notice this issue, i couldn't find existing tickets about it, sorry.
perhaps, if someone find such tickets, he could link my attachments there.

slightly offtopic:
is a feature planned that will enable grouping components into (let's say) trees?

[Ivan G Shevchenko <linuxadmin@…>]

by the way: what's the point of adding descriptions to components?

admin / ticket system / components

where can i read it? am i missing something? ;)

There is no explicit tie between the wiki and ticket systems. If you want to make wiki pages for them, you are certainly able to, but you are implying those additional semantics, not Trac. You are correct in that we should remove the description field or find a way to show it to the user though. I'm sure there is a separate ticket about that somewhere.

Replying to nkantrowitz:

Now that you acknowledge there's an issue, either:

• close as duplicate, taking the time to find the actual original ticket
• if there's none, keep that ticket as a reminder to fix the issue

But closing as wontfix doesn't make sense.
