The optional list of additional input methods from other languages were included based on bug reports(Bug 28474). It helps to write words other than Tamil in articles like http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AE%87%E0%AE%A8%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF (Article about Hindi, where some words will be in Hindi for illustration). Articles about language, places, people , scripts are other example. Wikitionaries also will get benefit from the feature. We never expect people use that feature to start writing articles in non-tamil languages, even though it is possible. But that is spam and avoiding a feature for that is not right way, IMHO. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
