Enabling LiquidThreads caused a lots of notification mails to be send. The mails were turned off by default and can be enabled through the preferences.

I have never subscribed the option to receive hundreds of emails just because someone has replied to some messages here.

Activating by default a new option that will send emails is extremely damaging. This is clearly spam !

I now I am receiving hundreds of messages at very high speed and there's no way to stop it, until your outgoing queue stops delivering messages sent here since many weeks (or month ?).

This is a sever bug. Please stop your spam sending bot (I have just removed the option you have activated, it does not stop the flow).

Please remember : NEVER activate by default any new option that will send emails to users, unless they subscribe them explicitly.

GRRRRR......

Let's consider it even after what we had to revert from you :) Be advised that there is an open bugzilla:21457. Thanks for the report and apologies for the inconvenience. I got some 25 messages myself, too... :( I'll see if I can disable the defailt setting. Cheers!

Been bold and committed mwr:58850 to disable 'lqtnotifytalk' by default. Users now have to deliberately enable notifications from LiquidThreads

Thank you ... Am happy with your being carefully bold

Why the order of the message was changed on Special:Translate? It is very hard to review all messages, when you cannot restart with the message, which was last edit from you. Maybe it is the same problem, why fuzzied message are not counted on Special:LanguageStats.

I have no idea what you are talking about. As far as I can see no ordering was changed.

Sorry, I am meaning the other look of that special page.

THe number of messages for StatusNet was reduced from some 1250 to fewer than 950. The messages are extracted from the code, which is different from the way it works in most other products we support. The order can indeed change, but at least there are some 300 fewer messages to be reviewed and translated...

9 unused lqt messages were removed.

Is it used in the current LQT-version? (Didn't find in the source code where it's used.) If yes, what supposed to be after the text "above:"?

 Done Execellent find. Looked for a few others, and found 2 more unused. mwr:58828.

Thanks!

I've finished updating LQT-translations, and found some other unused messages:

• Lqt-any-date
• Lqt-only-date
• Lqt-date-from
• Lqt-date-to
• Lqt-archive-subtitle
• Lqt-archive-intro

 Done

The issue should be reported to bugzilla.

Is it possible to have more space between the word More and the small arrow in Liquid Threads? In Upper and Lower Sorbian the arrow is very close by the word Wjace resp. Wěcej. Upper Sorbian has a shorter variant Wjac. This helps. But Lower Sorbian has not. --Michawiki 16:31, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I think it would be best if you reported this in bugzilla:. Please make certain that you attach a screenshot there.

Somehow, summary and Save, Preview, Show Changes buttons are wrongly enumerated (or omitted from tab enumeration) when editing messages or templates. So it's not possible to switch from editor to summary with Tab key. Problems happens today. I use monobook.

I have no idea what you mean. I think a screenshot would mean the world.

Start editing. Then press tab key. Focus and cursor should be moved into Summary field. Work in case of LiqudThreads. In regular edit window focus came to Cancel, Help and special symbols area.

If you don't mean the translation dialog from Translate extension, this is a bug in MediaWiki and should be reported on the bugzilla.

I think this is related to a few issues that came from the UsabilityInitiative JavaScript library. I have disabled them for now, and asked Raymond to test well before enabling them again.

Thank you for help! Issue looks resolved.

Typo fixed: close -> closed.

Mwe-closed_captions ("Closed captions") probably has a typo in the English version – it should be closed captions (not close), which causes the translations to be wrong. The message refers (IIANM) to wikipedia:Closed captioning, not to closing some captions (rather, to the exact opposite – to display the subtitles). --Mormegil 13:33, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Is it possible to add plural support to the following StatusNet messages:

• StatusNet:Cf7b59e514fbc9b51acae5870a092d4476ba66ff-about_d_minutes_ago/en
• StatusNet:E2e6df41af2f246162baa5e122b2e3e043cb9cfa-about_d_hours_ago/en
• StatusNet:473c34a36a1d3804cb08d5326322a1fe123956c5-about_d_days_ago/en
• StatusNet:5680605f3e393ae2814a483bc5bb4e71539c99ea-about_d_months_ago/en

By the way, StatusNet message names are scary. ;)--OsamaK 03:29, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

StatusNet does not yet properly support plural. It also uses a bunch of patchwork messages. We are/I am working with StatusNet to get this resolved asap. You can choose to not translate these messages for now, or translate them anyway and wait until they are marked fuzzy. Siebrand 13:39, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Also, the Arabic translation is over 35%.. Do you know whether it will be included in the next update of identi.ca (I think in November 20)?--OsamaK 14:46, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I will be adding it as a new language this evening. I do not know about the release procedures that StatusNet has. I have spoken to Brion last night, and I expect a lot of i18n related updates this week. So please keep working on it! Cheers!

Can we have a bit of documentation for Protect-unchain-permissions ("Unlock further protect options")? I do not understand it - that may be contextual - and several translators have understood it differently as it seems to me, and as far as my understanding of the respective languages goes. --Purodha Blissenbach 12:45, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

This is a nice exercise for you to get familiar with the MediaWiki core code. Looking forward to your documentation. Thanks. Siebrand 15:52, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Extensions like Makesysop have not been supported here for a long time and never will again.

Message Makesysopfail was deleted on january 2007 from translatewiki, but exists pl de in Wikipedias. Sp5uhe 23:13, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

The extensions are no longer active at the time of writing (see wikipedia:Special:Version)
