Hi,
Messages such as these:
* MediaWiki:Pfunc-convert-unit-length-metre

* MediaWiki:Pfunc-convert-unit-length-mile
all have a problem: they only take the plural of the word itself, but
the number is left out. For example,

Hi,
MediaWiki has a list of language names. These names are used in
several locations; the most visible location is the list of
interlanguage links that appears in every article.
Recently i've been making little fixes to that list. I fixed what i

Note that the UniversalLanguageSelector extension was rolled back to
its 2012.12 version to ensure compatibility with MediaWiki 1.19 and

I imagine that mw.msg provides more features, such as plural and
gender, and that makes it closer to the server-side i18n, but Niklas

In any case, if it's deprecated, it should be documented.

The MediaWiki Installer is in a somewhat unique position with regards to

it has a separate i18n file. The messages do not appear in the core group

I wouldn't do it per language, even though there are languages that hardly

Perhaps it could be done per message - to have a function somewhere in

The question of date formats came up on the India mailing list [1] and this
made me think: Currently, how does a MediaWiki instance decide what is its
default date format? CLDR, PHP or something internal?
