--- Comment #6 from Srikanth Logic <[email protected]> 2011-11-08 07:58:10 UTC --- Bug 28474 for a different requirement. Quoting it "This should be helpful: - for true multilingual wikis - for users contributing in a language or script foreign to the wiki * - for developers wanting to test new IME - for Scripts being used for many languages, such as Cyrillic, or Latin" The points 1,3,4 definitely doesnt hold water in the case Tamil Wiki. Point 2 is a very very minor use case (like Santhosh pointed out in http://tawp.in/r/3b6 ). There might be atmost 100 articles(am giving a generous guesstimate here) out of 40k odd articles. So presenting the full list on toggle button is not an apt solution. I dont know why there is a consistent vision to keep user preferences low, but One size doesnt fit all is a bad approach. The bug 28474 suggested a user preference for "Full Narayam". I would go beyond and suggest a configuration for the extension itself which could help the cases like Tamil wiki's case(of not having other languages if user preferences cannot be done) where its not required. Narayam or whatever tool that is built is FOR the community and this approach of not giving preferences is not a healthy sign. Different communities have different requirements, So please dont implement everything for everyone and push on them, atleast ask if its relevant to all before doing so, otherwise give a configuration option to ignore the new update. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
