Summary: Local evaluation of magic words for commons files
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Language setup
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: cenarium.sy...@gmail.com
For commons files, magic words such as {{CONTENTLANGUAGE}} or {{SERVERNAME}}
are not evaluated locally but with the commons values. File descriptions are
often given in a variety of languages to make it readable in the language of as
many projects as possible, but it clogs the description and makes finding the
relevant language more difficult.
So it would be very helpful for readers to only show the description in the
local language, using {{CONTENTLANGUAGE}} (one may even give the option to show
other languages if desired). So this magic word would be evaluated locally. For
other magic words, I imagine there may be reasons not to do it, we may ask at
commons about that.
