--- Comment #5 from Ryan Kaldari <[email protected]> --- This is a perfect example of making the interface confusing for 99% of users in order to accommodate a 1% edge case. Sure, if you ask random people to change their interface language, they are more likely to find the option if you put it next to the word 'language'. But for the majority of people on en.wiki who want to use the interlanguage links instead, you've made that interface confusing. Regardless of where you put the ULS widget, I don't think anyone on the internet is going to intuitively understand the concept of changing their interface language separately from the content language. No other site on the internet does this. Most sites change both simultaneously, which is what the interlanguage links do (unless you've customized your interface on other wikis). On multilanguage wikis like meta and commons, there is obviously a need for this (even if it is confusing). On wikis that don't use the Latin alphabet, there is a need for customizing your input method and fonts. Frankly though, I'm not even sure the ULS interface is needed on English Wikipedia. Relatively few people are going to change the interface language and there is no issue with it being difficult to input English-language content. What do you think of removing the ULS widget from en.wiki entirely, and just relying on the standard preferences? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
