--- Comment #2 from Mahitgar <[email protected]> --- Thanks i will elaborate as below *Brieffest summary above mentioned study report thread is " For people with technical background enabling something and selecting something are very easy steps but not necessarily for a good majiority newbies, that what my report suggest, that they still fails to understand the nitty gritties involved in enabling and selecting an input method Newbies visiting non-roman script wikis and Marathi language wikipedia in particular are intrested in learning how to type/input their mother tounge script,but many of them still fail to understand that some thing called input method needs to be activated some where and they need to select one of the option.So effort in bug no 51344 and 51345 is to provide input method as default for the newbies for their practicing the requisite skill without having any haassle to enable something and select something. So main purpose of all the bugs filed by me is 'Xs4all' and fullfilling the real main purpose of ULS * The additional parameter is being requested at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:InputBox#Parameters *Please see at for the help page to practice input method I created an input box at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help_talk:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Input_methods/mr-transliteration *In that input box current parameters are : <inputbox> type=create width=57 placeholder=येथे टिचकी मारा,कोपऱ्यात चित्रातले चिन्ह येते,मग चिन्हावर टिचकी मारा व अक्षरांतरण पर्याय निवडा.(This translates "Please click here,in the corner a sign apears and then select input method अक्षरांतरण i.e. transliteration buttonlabel=कोपऱ्यात चित्रातले चिन्ह येते,मग चिन्हावर टिचकी मारा व अक्षरांतरण पर्याय निवडा This button lable again reiterates above help staement in place holder break=no prefix=w:mr:विकिपीडिया:धूळपाटी/केवळ मराठी (सराव) This button takes to a special sand box (which again we are expecting to have default input method feature. </inputbox> ::Although I have provided very descriptive information for users to practice my study suggests there is good improvement but still a good majiority fails to understand these nitty gritties of enabling and then selecting,(For question why one will need to read my detail report) ::So the purpose of this bug is to provide such parameters that will make available an input method as default for a given language ::So if this bug gets successfully fixed then my would be syntax for input method practicing inputbox would be some thing like following <inputbox> type=create (/Input method typing practice) width=57 placeholder=येथे टिचकी मारा,कोपऱ्यात चित्रातले चिन्ह येते,मग चिन्हावर टिचकी मारा व अक्षरांतरण पर्याय निवडा.(This translates "Please click here,in the corner a sign apears and then select input method अक्षरांतरण i.e. transliteration input-language-code=mr input method ULS =अक्षरांतरण(or transliteration) (or inscript whichever method I want to choose) buttonlabel=कोपऱ्यात चित्रातले चिन्ह येते,मग चिन्हावर टिचकी मारा व अक्षरांतरण पर्याय निवडा This button lable again reiterates above help staement in place holder break=no prefix=w:mr:विकिपीडिया:धूळपाटी/केवळ मराठी (सराव) This button takes to a special sand box (which again we are expecting to have default input method feature. </inputbox> *Where this will benefit ::If possible these input boxes can be incorporated along with virtual keyboard for practice ::These input boxes can be incorporated in help pages and relevant media wiki messages (if any) ::These input boxes will be usefull to language learning articles on wikiooks * Again why input boxes ? ::As I said can be usefull to wikibooks and relevant help pages :: At bug 51344 to make a input method default for a help page you asked me to come up with community consensus.To provide a good help feature for 700 wikis atleast 700 intitative taking people will be needed and more than them to support them.An input box that makes inputmethod default can energy on this aspect. ::Thanks and warm regards -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
