Registering an extension fork – partial message key collision

Hi, any updates on this? I have been thinking about this myself a bit, and the only solution I can think of would be to prefix the colliding messages on translatewiki.net, but not in the extension. So, for example, UploadWizard would keep its tag-uploadwizard message here, but MediaUploader would be assigned mediauploader-tag-uploadwizard, which would be mapped to tag-uploadwizard during translatewiki.net -> code repository migration.

I have no idea if this is possible or not.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. You can prefix message with "prefix = mediaupload-" in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/translatewiki/+/refs/heads/master/groups/MediaWiki/mediawiki-extensions.txt, see exisiting lines there.

I would suggest to send a patch for register of the new extension with the prefix lines for the message keys with collision.

I will review the patch.

Ah, that would solve it, thank you! I will submit a request to register the extension soon.
