Dear friends:
Thinking about a contribution at Esperanto Wikibooks about facebook and
facebook sample code I run into the following problem which affects every wiki
with Esperanto language.
In order to store the source code for a page as
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Esperanta-bonveniga-giceto-pago/217219394947?v=app_62088208022
which is a general welcome facebook page listing many Esperanto topics one
needs to preserve the Esperanto characters in the original form.
In Esperanto wikis the special Unicode Esperanto characters Ĉ Ĝ Ĥ Ĵ Ŝ Ŭ
ĉ ĝ ĥ ĵ ŝ ŭ are changed to Cx Gx Hx Jx Sx Ux cx gx hx jx sx ux during
editing. This is a very usefull feature. The problem is that it can *not* be
deactivated.
In order to offer this function in a more general way at every installation I
suggest the following.
a) Esperanto magical conversion should become a part of special:preferences.
This would allow to use it at every installation including multilingual
platforms as meta:, commons:, foundation wiki etc. without the need of gadgests
as
[[commons:MediaWiki:Gadget-EoMagicalConversion.js]]. By default they should be
enabeled if the language is Esperanto and disabeled otherwise.
b) For the main textareas as editing, writing emails, viewing sourcecode etc. a
checkbox should be available to activate or deactivate it. The implementation
might require two parameters in special:Preferences but this is a minor detail.
Please feel free to contact me for any questions.
Best regards [[user:gangleri]]
FYI: The code for the facebook page is available today at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=8688034 please edit the page
copy the text and insert it at a project in Esperanto. make a preview, You will
see that Esperanto characters are not preserved inside the text area box.
