Thread:Support/Toolserver:Commonshelper2-*

I have infomed the autor. This is here for everone to be informed, too.

I've noticed some minor difficulties with [ Toolserver:Commonshelper2].

There are several messages about metadata all linking to a page "link" - better were individual pieces of text instead. Neither the messages nor the message documentation tells us, where links go. Thus translators are chanceless to use meaningful link anchors.

Reusing the word "metadata" for the textual description of files in a wiki (if I interpret messages right) is problematic, since "metadata" is also being used already in file description pages for embedded metadata found in many sound or image files. See MediaWiki:Exif-* messages for hundreds of examples of them. Identical words denoting different things in a usage context should be avoided if possible. How about using "wikitext description" or something similar throughout?

Message refers to an "Upload" button. Please consider using a placeholder since we do not know the exact translation. See also: "messages quoting each other".

Reading the words in message, I am first inclined to automatically translate "for the wiki" as "about the wiki" but I rather think "in the wiki" is meant.

Message lacks an (indefinite) article at the beginning.

Reading message I sincerely doubt that TUSC could upload a file directly (I may be wrong), so the wording seems misleading. Likely, something like "Authenticate via TUSC and then commonshelper2 will upload the file directly for you." is meant.
