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."?
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.)
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. :)
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."?
"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.
Since there were no objections, I changed the message in our code. Thanks for pointing this out!
Please document message. What is "Go Search"?
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.
This particular message only mentions day and month, not year.
Yes, I know. Again; is there a similar date format message for whole Wikia?
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.
Okay, thanks anyway.
Context, please.
Maybe it is missing a space after ":"?
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.
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
According to documentation $1 is "preferred name". Of what? Please provide an example of the final 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? :)
Confusing terminology in here and other messages around this one. What is the difference between "removed" and "deleted"?
