--- Comment #16 from Andre Klapper <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #13) > Andre:Please understand the situation here, dev team provided a wrong fix and > we are not able to type malayalam in our wikis. The community's request was to disable ULS completely by default. As http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector/FAQ#How_can_I_disable_Universal_Language_Selector explains, "Only part of the functionality can be disabled. Input methods can be completely disabled by clicking the keyboard icon and clicking Disable input tools. Web fonts can only be disabled per language in the settings." (This part of the FAQ was already linked in the similar bug 46306 comment 17.) Hence there is no UI to enable or disable ULS completely and "by default". Hence for completely disabling ULS (as requested in this bug report), removing ULS was required in order to fulfil the request by the ml community. I assume that the developers acted in good faith, fulfilling the requests of the community. If I get the last comments correctly, I assume that input methods for Malayalam are wanted again. Input methods are available via ULS. I don't know which conclusions the Malayalam community would like to draw out of this, but you are free to discuss this on https://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/വിക്കിപീഡിയ:പഞ്ചായത്ത്_(സാങ്കേതികം) first. To me it is currently unclear what is now asked for in this reopened bug report, as the community's request was fulfilled (though in a surprising way). Somebody needs to clarify this and the community needs to speak with one voice here (after finding agreement, for example on വിക്കിപീഡിയ:പഞ്ചായത്ത്_(സാങ്കേതികം)), clearly keeping in mind the technical constraints explained above. Currently this bug report is not actionable. I can imagine that both the ml community and any developers are highly interested in avoiding more misunderstandings. Some general information to potentially speed up the process of getting any kind of server configuration changes deployed: If anybody would like to create some software patch to change some server configuration again, please see * http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_access * http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial The files to change for this request are https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/operations%2Fmediawiki-config.git/HEAD/wmf-config%2FInitialiseSettings.php and linked to from comment 3. Please note that providing help with Git/Gerrit is out of scope for this specific bug report. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
