Hi all, On => https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCategoryCollation/fr#Language-specific_collations just before third paragraph, we present 'includes/Collation.php' which refers to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org//r/p/mediawiki/core;browse/master/includes/Collation.php$42 but this path does not exist on Phabricator

mediawiki/includes/Collation.php
Path Was Deleted
This path does not exist at rMW8b92664c7ce9. It was deleted in e8c15f0e9437 and last existed at rMW6e9b4f0e9ce4.

First path instead related to includes/collation/IcuCollation.php ( => https://phabricator.wikimedia.org//r/p/mediawiki/core;browse/master/includes/collation/IcuCollation.php$93) is ok.

What path should then be used for mediawiki/includes/Collation.php ? Thanks

I hope ive found :

• click on e8c15f0e9437 of the Phabricator message and go to view diff , then
• T32 ; add intermediate node 'includes/collation/' in path (reference; https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/rMWe8c15f0e9437dfabf6d92156f8f1abdd8015665c)

sounds ok ?

Hi all, On page => https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCategoryCollation , at the end, reference is made to access the démo of 'ICU Collation Demo' to https://ssl.icu-project.org/icu-bin/collation.html but this site no longer replies Is there another value for this example, or do we suppress this reference ? Thanks

Christian FR (talk) 18:36, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

done; thanks.

Hi all, For example on => [[Category:ArticleDelete_extensions/de]] but any subpages of EN root version (FR,...) the banner other languages displays as:

English  • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/ca|català]] • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/de|Deutsch]] • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/es|español]] • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/fr|français]] • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/gl|galego]] • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/he|עברית]] • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/ja|日本語]] • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/ko|한국어]] • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/pl|polski]] • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/pt|português]] • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/pt-br|português do Brasil]] • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/ru|русский]] • [[::Category:ArticleDelete extensions/zh|中文]]

Christian FR (talk) 12:03, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

I have fixed the following categories and their subpages:

• Category:ArticleDelete extensions
• Category:ArticleDeleteComplete extensions
• Category:ArticleEditUpdatesDeleteFromRecentchanges extensions
• Category:ArticleSaveComplete extensions
• Category:ArticleUndelete extensions
• Category:PrefixSearchBackend extensions
• Category:SearchGetNearMatch extensions

Is the a relative simple way of creating tags. Those basic words of tagging pages.

Saw a lot of tools but still no simple way other than categories.

categories == tags in mediawiki

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T237288

hi all, on page => https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AdvancedSearch , in second paragraph we say "The configuration options of AdvancedSearch are documented in the file docs/settings.md" with docs/settings.md = {{git file|project=mediawiki/extensions/AdvancedSearch|branch=HEAD|file=docs/settings.md|text=docs/settings.md}} and when we hit docs/settings.md we get in Phabricator "The requested project does not exist" followed by a long list of items - then, what 's wrong ? - thanks.

Christian FR (talk) 20:09, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

could you file a bug on phabricator about this?

thanks; ok done => https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T237288

Exploring manually, i found the file here but i dont know how to build the link to skip there.

https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-AdvancedSearch/blob/master/docs/settings.md

done; thanks.

Hi on page => https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Android_FAQ paragraph "Read in different languages" displays ... select "⧼Mobile-frontend-language-change⧽"... showing that {{int|Mobile-frontend-language-change}} is untranslated

Although previous {{int|Mobile-frontend-news-items}} is well displayed, and since following items exists :

MediaWiki:Mobile-frontend-language-change/fr => https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Mobile-frontend-language-change/fr
MediaWiki:Mobile-frontend-language-change/en => https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Mobile-frontend-language-change/en

I dont understand why Mobile-frontend-language-change is not interpreted. Thanks.

Christian FR (talk) 13:37, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

I've changed it. This happens not when the message is untranslated, but when the message doesn't exist at all. Apparently, it has been renamed.

done. Thanks.

Hi all , on page => https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch In first paragraph we say:

By default only the namespaces specified in your preferences will be searched. Logged-in users can change their preferences to specify the namespaces they want to search by default. This can be done by selecting and deselecting boxes in the ”search” section of user preferences.

But my user preferences in Search tab has no namespace for search ! Can some one correct please ? Thanks

Christian FR (talk) 21:21, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

This behavior was changed long ago: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T54817

Now (since 2014) the preference of namespaces to be searched by default is set on Special:Search itself and not in user preferences

Help:Searching probably needs updating too

ok both pages have been cleaned and the reference to the User Preference page for namespace setting has been deleted.

Hi, it is not allowing to add new hosting provider that support mediawiki, link can not be added!

As far as I know, this site does not list hosting providers.

Hi all, on page => https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ORES/BWDS_review we say "We need native speakers of the target language to help us sort these lists and remove words that were picked up by mistake." but the process of correction is not explained; may I do that by myself ? (and how?) or is there an admin for that (and who is he/she?).

Another point is where to find the log of contributions rejected by ORES due to BDWDS automatic filtering, and also the process to check the *manual* reverted corrections to increase the list of BDWDS. Thanks.

Christian FR (talk) 05:13, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

done; corrected manually.

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T235188

Help:Blocking users/tr is completely broken.

'''Kullanıcıları engelleme''', [[$h-sysops|hizmetliler]]... was wrongly inserted four times.

I could not fix them.

Shirayuki and I have done a big work of cleaning. I just ckeck the /tr page and it is present once only. If you have difficulties to restore a previous text on one article this is my receipe; use two steps: 1] write the text as it should be but just under a different form i.e. KKullanıcıları engelleme... and validate it 2] correct this text to find back the true translated string in your TR language i.e. Kullanıcıları engelleme... and validate it. This last version should persist.

T4 no longer exists in last version

Some revisions are still broken. Please do not do edits like "KKullanıcıları".

Turkish skill are needed for that - readers understand by themselves this is an example.

The old revision is still broken:

https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Help:VisualEditor/User_guide/230/pl&diff=next&oldid=1983609&diffmode=source

?? https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Help:VisualEditor/User_guide/230/pl&diff=next&oldid=3477662

Last is ok and taken into account in the page generation. I stop this subject.

Unwanted correction (just added one space at the end of first translated item and got a mess of corrections not mines); cannot cancel help !!!
