--- Comment #3 from Ravishankar <[email protected]> ---
//As we do not have any native Tamil
speakers on the Wikimedia Language Engineering team, we are not able to assess
your observations.//

This is the precise issue. I understand that no developer team can have
speakers in all world languages. Nevertheless, their work affects all people. 

For Tamil and Malayalam, at least there are some people to test and report
bugs. But for majority of the Indian languages and many other languages there
are no one to report bugs. So there is no way of knowing what works, what works
not and what things were broken that were working well already.

The Wikimedia team should develop better procedure to deploy codes of these
nature. You may have a separate beta installation but majority of the community
doesn't know its existence and they will not understand all the issues and use
cases unless it is rolled out into their own project. Even if they understand
the issue, they will not how to report and where to report. 

Understanding this context, hope the developers will try their best to test
rigorously before they deploy. Live Wikipedia projects are not testing grounds.
At least, I don't expect it from the developing team of world's largest
information source.

Thanks for reading this essay ;)
