Description Jonathan 2009-09-25 20:47:16 UTC 
Version:           2.2-GIT (using 4.3.68 (KDE 4.3.68 (KDE 4.4 >= 20090907)), Eth-OS)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.30-ARCH

It should be possible to disable Amarok's feature to append the suffix (Band) to the Wikipedia-URL. The Link to "Alban Berg (Band)" is very useless.

Agreed, it is annoying
Comment 2 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-09-26 17:34:57 UTC 
From this forum post http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=115&t=81926#p130302 
I copy a possible solution:

Hope this helps; if compiling from source:

"edit line 226 of

amarok-2.1.85/src/context/engines/wikipedia/WikipediaEngine.cpp

so that the double quoted expression reads
"wgArticleId=0,"
instead of "var wgArticleId = 0"

and recompile. This seems to fix the problem (for me at least). It seems wikipedia has changed its format when returning a non-existent page."

Could somebody have a look at that, please?

Thanks, someone already fixed this in git master.
