Patch query

Hello. gerrit:887322 does not seem to be working properly. I created User talk:MarcoAurelio/Archive 2 to test it and as you can see it keeps using LQT. I wonder if the hook is being executed by LQT itself? —MarcoAurelio (talk) 19:12, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

I apologise. I've just been explained that once the page gets created the Hook just stops working. If the aim here was to totally avoid newly created discussion pages to use LQT, new code is probably needed. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 21:17, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Yes, known issue. Haven't had time to explore if it can be improved yet. Nike (talk) 13:29, 25 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
If it is of any help, Wikimedia created a $wmgLiquidThreadsFrozen set which use this config (see also codesearch). Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:33, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
I think it doesn't work for us, because we have $wgLqtTalkPages = true;. If I set it to false, all existing threads disappear. Nike (talk) 16:45, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Special:TranslationStats

Hello, I see that this page, when loading the statistics of any language, leaves a large unnecessary space below, can it be fixed? No se (talk) 15:41, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

You can follow https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T291081 for progress. Nike (talk) 19:35, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
I also see that this wiki, unlike others, like Wikipedia, Miraheze or Uncyclopedia, does not have the Syntaxhighlight extension, that extension would help me a lot to know if the code that I enter in any page of this wiki will look different or not, I mean, with that extension, I can check if a link I put will look blue, I can also check by the color if it's a template or a magic word No se (talk) 02:57, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
I don't know why you say so. SyntaxHighlight extension is installed on this wiki.
I also recommend to use Support for questions and requests that can be processed by other people too. Nike (talk) 06:40, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
I believe @No se may be referring to CodeMirror, which has a syntax highlight option for wikitext. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 12:00, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oh that may be it. I'm not keeping up to speed with all the different editor extensions. Nike (talk) 12:07, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Why is the language code of message documentation qqq?

Sorry to bother you. I would like to ask a small question: Why is the language code of message documentation qqq?

I learned that qaa to qtz are all reserved codes, but why was qqq specifically chosen? After some searching, I found phab:T17802, which introduced qqx as the language code of message key, inspired by qqq. However, I couldn't find why qqq was chosen. I only found Special:Diff/210480 which said that message documentation was moved from MediaWiki talk:MESSAGE NAME/info to MediaWiki:MESSAGE NAME/qqq. The earliest infomation I can find is this deletion log (and tens of logs following) on December 26, 2007, which cleaned up MediaWiki talk namespace, probably moving documentation to /qqq.

Since you are the founder of this website, I guess you may know the answer. However, it is hard to remember something that happened 10+ years ago. I apologize if this is too difficult for you. TripleCamera2022 (talk) 13:45, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

There isn't a substantial reason other than using a code reserved for private use. `qqq` is easy to remember so that's probably why it was chosen. Nike (talk) 16:08, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
OK. Thanks! TripleCamera2022 (talk) 07:40, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
