What is the usecase of this message? Is that an advice to the user, or is it a call to action like a button label?

Jean-Fred (talk)‎

I've documented the message.

About new "Continue editing" link in MediaWiki

Hi. Although I encountered very useful the new "→ Continue editing" link, the text shown by this feature is not always completely self explanatory for those users who have activated the "Show preview on first edit" check box in their options, because the link appears in the very first edit page, when no edition was made at all. The situation is even worst for those who have the "Show preview before edit box" feature active in addition, since a nonsensical "Continue editing" legend appears at the top of the -yet not edited- page.

I remark that the fault is not really the link presence itself, since this feature is useful even in the cited circumstances, but only the text shown.

So, I suggest the text of MediaWiki:Continue-editing/en (and also the name of mediawiki message itself, if possible) should be changed to "Go to editing area" or something so. Thus, the feature will be correctly understood in all cases.

This should go into bugzilla: to get wider attention.

About MediaWiki:Ow importtsv not utf8/en

That must should be must. Btw, may I do these sort of edits myself, without discussion?

It's done.

What is the $2 parameter on this message?

555 (talk)‎

Thanks for asking. I've documented the message. $2 is an edit summary.

translation of "entry point"

In Version-entrypoints ("Entry point URLs") I do not understand very well what an 'entry point' is, despite reading the wikipedia article on this and Special:Version where it is used. Can anybody explain this to a computer layman?

Lloffiwr (talk)‎

I've expanded the docs, is it any clearer now? I think there's no need to translate it literally.

Nemo (talk)‎

Not really to my poor brain. However, this is not a huge problem as the table sort of explains itself in a way. Thank you anyway for trying to explain a tech thing to a non-techie.

About MediaWiki:Wikibase-description-input-help-message/en

Typo in the English original message? It shows desription instead of description

555 (talk)‎

MediaWiki:Articlefeedbackv5-log-hidden/en what refers $2 to?

In the message 'hid $1 on $2' $2 may be either something like Sitename or like date. According to this translation will be different in some languages. Does anyone know what is $2 inthis message

Robby (talk)‎

It's probably a date but someone should double check.

Nike (talk)‎

Message is documented now.

Siebrand‎

Thanks

What happened to the installer?

Hi, I just wanted to change a message, but was unable to find the extension via the translation tool. Was it deactivated somehow? Cheers

[[kgh]] (talk)‎

Nice find. It's still somewhere, but not up for translation. This has to do with the Git migration I'm sure. We'll look into it and re-add it.

Siebrand‎

Cool, I thought it might probably be something like that. Looking forward to Installer. :) Cheers

[[kgh]] (talk)‎

ParserFunctions has also vanished

[[kgh]] (talk)‎

That's not been active for a while. Still needs some major maintenance no one's gotten to...

PLURAL needs to be swapped.

[[kgh]] (talk)‎

Indeed, and the parameters need documentation.

SPQRobin (talk)‎

Done.

Siebrand‎

Fixed. Thanks.

About MediaWiki:Maintenance-createAndPromote-output-creating/en

I am not absolutely sure, but I think that there is an namespace variable around which may be used instead of User:

[[kgh]] (talk)‎

You mean {{ns:user}}?

Siebrand‎

In case that is the variable: Yes.

[[kgh]] (talk)‎

Fixed. Thanks.

About MediaWiki:Srf-error-missing-label/en

Thanks! Reported in bugzilla:35972.

"Maybe you want edit" should read "Maybe you want to edit"

Thanks for the report. Fixed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#change,4393. Not updated here, yet.

MediaWiki:Articlefeedbackv5-warning-abuse/en

In the text of this message the expression submit button is used. For me this expression is to general. It refers to the function of the button, not to the text of the button. There are some messages which have the word submit in their name. Which of them this expression submit button is referring to?

Thanks.

Looks like the message is unused. I submitted a patch to remove it. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#change,4389
