Summary by WikiForMen

Problem solved!

WikiForMen (talkcontribs)

Since REL1_39 the translations (from SkinCustomiser/languages/i18n) are not shown in the sidebar. Why? Any ideas? --WikiForMen (talk) 13:18, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Proposed changes - removals and additions

1
Quiddity (talkcontribs)

Please see Project:Side bar redesign 2022 for details on some significant changes. This was originally proposed at the Village Pump (Topic:X0kn21jhwiowhjfh).

Ideally any discussion can continue on either the talkpage of the Project page, or within the original thread. Thanks.

Translations into Chinese

Translations are wrapped in code blocks. Chinese has several variants, so it's needed to create three subpages for a single message (/zh, /zh-hans, /zh-hant). Text in bold are the messages' name.

mw-download

/zh, /zh-hans: 下载MediaWiki

/zh-hant: 下載MediaWiki

mw-extensions

/zh, /zh-hans: 下载扩展

/zh-hant: 下載擴充功能

mw-communication

/zh, /zh-hans: 联系交流

/zh-hant: 聯絡交流

mw-bugtracker

/zh, /zh-hans: 漏洞跟踪器

/zh-hant: 錯誤追蹤器


The last request has been 4 years ago and still no one is implementing it, so I just post it again.

from my own experience using MediaWiki, only creating zh, zh-hans, zh-hant is fine; regional variants can fallback correctly.

Yes Done by creating the above 12 pages.

Lakejason0 (talkcontribs)

seems like regional variants fail to fallback on MediaWiki.org…… I didn’t expect this since only creating three works on my wiki’s sidebar.

Additional messages are below.

Lakejason0 (talkcontribs)

emmm, I tried using zh-tw and zh-cn here, and it seems that we also need to create these pages for regional variants (they are even missing another message mw-sandbox.) It doesn‘t make sense to me since my wiki works fine without creating regional variants messages for sidebar. Sorry for the inconvenience (I suffered from creating 8 pages for one message a lot of time, because some of the other messages can’t fallback correctly, but I didn’t realize that a multilingual wiki like MediaWiki.org cannot even correctly fallback the sidebar.)

so:

/zh-cn, /zh-sg, /zh-my should use /zh-hans;

/zh-tw, /zh-hk, /zh-mo should use /zh-hant.

/cdo doesn’t make sense to me; it seems like Vietnamese related.


mw-sandbox

/zh-hans, /zh-hant, /zh-cn, /zh-tw, /zh-hk, /zh-mo, /zh-my, /zh-sg: 沙盒


Sorry again and thanks for your help! that 12 pages is now correctly loaded and seems perfectly fine.

Lakejason0 (talkcontribs)

Sorry, the question is not fully solved; the 4 messages in main thread for 6 regional variants are still needed to be created (24 messages), and another 8 messages for mw-sandbox too.

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

Per Template:GetFallback and Template:GetFallback2, Chinese language has 25 variants:

| gan | gan-hans | ii | wuu | za | zh | zh-cn | zh-my | zh-sg = zh-hans
| ami | cdo | gan-hant | hak | lzh | nan | pwn | szy | tay | trv | zh-classical | zh-hk | zh-min-nan | zh-mo | zh-tw = zh-hant
Lakejason0 (talkcontribs)

a lot of them are not Mandarin, and I have no knowledge of them. I guess you can just proceed that fallback logic to create pages.

Can someone redirect the tech blog URL to point to this? Thank you!

Changed.

Should be fixed now, awaiting cache purge and potentially phab:T207288.

It's maybe because of Vector, but changing the page MediaWiki:Sidebar don't affect the sidebar of my wiki.

Someone knows where i have to make the modification ?

How do you reformat sidebar

Ahancie (talkcontribs)

I would like to have the sidebar in the wiki I work on to look like the sidebar here at mediawiki.org, without the dropdown menus. I have searched through mediawiki documentation and can't find anything that helps me with this. Can someone help me with this, please?

We link to Category:Top level with the label "Browse categories" as the first and so most prominent link in the MediaWiki.org section. I can't think of a use case which this serves at all, let alone well. Should we just drop it?

Qgil-WMF (talkcontribs)

Makes sense.
