We have sent a new password to the e-mail address for $1.

Message documenation states that $1 is an e-mail address. Shouldn't "for" be removed? "for" should only be there if $1 is a username.

Blocking Wikia Staff, Wikia Helpers, or members of our Volunteer Spam Task Force user team (VSTF) is not possible. Please use Special:Contact to report any issues or problems with our staff.

Special:Contact looks pretty ugly. Use "contact form" as link description?

Successfully toggled adoption eligibility status for account $1.

Appears to be a prime example of saying easy things the hard way. What about "$1 can now adopt a wiki."?

Siebrand18:24, 18 May 2012

Can someone rewrite the message for me? I don't understand the part "progress bar not found item's sprite". (I know what a progress bar is.)

// WikiPhoenix (Talk)14:23, 29 April 2012

This message references a portion of the sprite (a set of small images combined into one big image for easier loading and caching in browser) that represents an image/icon for a not-yet-found item of the current hunt.

In short, it's what's displayed in the progress bar as a default, not-activated state. I hope that's clearer. :)

TOR (talk)01:48, 5 May 2012

The purpose is clear, but the message in English is not:

"Please select proper dimensions for ScavengerHunt's progress bar not found item's sprite".

How about changing that to:

"Please select proper dimensions for ScavengerHunt's progress bar, as it was not found in the item's sprite."?

Siebrand10:29, 6 May 2012

"Please select proper dimensions for ScavengerHunt's progress bar, as it was not found in the item's sprite" makes WAY more sense in my option.

// WikiPhoenix (Talk)18:18, 9 May 2012

Since there were no objections, I changed the message in our code. Thanks for pointing this out!

Please document message. What is "Go Search"?

Siebrand08:17, 13 May 2012

"Go-Search" is a name of a feature. I suspect this refers to an unique entity. I have to confirm that with the product manager and verify if and how it should be translated. I will get back to you on this one.

Michał Roszka (talk)12:20, 18 May 2012
 

Is there a similar date format message for whole Wikia? In Sweden, we use "date month year" instead of "month day year", so it would be perfect if I could change that.

// WikiPhoenix (Talk)16:41, 11 April 2012

This particular message only mentions day and month, not year.

Siebrand21:50, 11 April 2012

Yes, I know. Again; is there a similar date format message for whole Wikia?

// WikiPhoenix (Talk)13:03, 14 April 2012

Not anything specific that *I* know of -- this message is an outlier because it only user day and month. Wikia uses MediaWiki, so those defined in MediaWiki core, and available through user preferences per language are available and used.

Siebrand13:11, 14 April 2012

Okay, thanks anyway.

"i.e." (id est, "that is") should be "e.g." (exempli gratia, "for example").

McDutchie (talk)12:12, 9 April 2012

Thanks. Fixed.

Siebrand11:10, 11 April 2012
 

Context, please.

Siebrand22:30, 3 March 2012

Maybe it is missing a space after ":"?

Toliño Fala aquí comigo 14:39, 5 March 2012

I've already told Wikia I've left a ton of feedback on Wall. They will probably be dealt with soon.

Siebrand18:30, 5 March 2012
 

Geez. This was just silly. Removed and replaced with Title::getPrefixedText() Sorry. :/

TOR (talk)19:11, 5 March 2012

Hmm, that depends. I understand this was kind of a display title hack, right? If you don't have localised namespace names, this gave a little of a localised feel to the MessageWall:PageTitle titles.

Siebrand19:22, 5 March 2012

We do have localized namespaces (or will/should have).

How? Documented where and how to get them?

Siebrand19:30, 5 March 2012

Basically it's an implementation similar to how special page aliases are handled.

Here's an example: http://trac.wikia-code.com/browser/wikia/trunk/extensions/wikia/TopLists/TopLists.namespaces.php

Parameters in this message should support GENDER.

Siebrand19:10, 5 March 2012

This requires some code shuffling. I've created a ticket in our tracker and will take care of it later this week.

According to documentation $1 is "preferred name". Of what? Please provide an example of the final message.

Siebrand07:53, 5 March 2012

It's something along the lines of: "Lucas Garczewski (TOR) left a reply"

The "preferred name" is the user's "real" name that they submitted via prefs or our user profile feature.

TOR (talk)18:27, 13 March 2012
 

I think punctuation is missing for this message.

I'm, I think at least, a relatively experienced MediaWiki user. I've however never understood deletion, removal, revision deletion, and oversight. I'm possibly forgetting some deletion or content hiding mechanisms here.

Are you sure you want to use "revision deletion" here, and if so, what does that mean? :)

Siebrand18:47, 5 March 2012

I'll check with product today.

TOR (talk)18:08, 13 March 2012
 

Confusing terminology in here and other messages around this one. What is the difference between "removed" and "deleted"?

Siebrand07:50, 5 March 2012

The difference is this: the wall owner can remove (i.e. hide from other users) messages from their wall. Only admins can delete messages (i.e. MediaWiki delete).

TOR (talk)19:03, 5 March 2012

Then use "hide" instead of remove? :)

Siebrand19:04, 5 March 2012

That could give the impression that the user is only hiding it from their own view – the stronger wording was put in to reinforce the message that this is removed for everyone (except admins).

Inline CSS is discouraged these days, I think.

Siebrand19:27, 5 March 2012

In browser-based coding that's true, but this is a mail message, where you do what you can to get the message to display correctly in different mail readers.

TOR (talk)17:12, 13 March 2012
 

In the singular, this message becomes "View all 1 reply" which is ungrammatical. Suggest changing to:

View {{PLURAL:$1|one reply|all $1 replies}}
