--- Comment #42 from Nemo <federicol...@tiscali.it> --- (In reply to comment #41) > OK, so the functionality you are looking for is you want to change the way > the > base page is treated. No. It doesn't need to be the base page. The solution agreed upon is that the override would be in the content language subpage, MediaWiki:<key>/en on a wiki with en as wiki language. > > The language subpages are just tweaks and have priority right before the CDB > of > that language, and not higher.

Yes, this would be option 2 in comment 13 if I understand correctly what you're saying. > > My last question is this: which do you want to have a higher priority, > overrides or language tweaks? In other words, if requesting a message in fit, > and DB/ and DB/fit both exist, which takes precedence? Another way to word > this > question is should the base page take precedence over *all* translations, or > only over CDB translations? Assuming our "DB/" is "A/en" of comment 13 and "DB/fit" is "A/fit", in the example of comment 13 and assuming they both exist, DB/fit takes precedence: in option 1 DB/ comes later and in option 2 it's not even checked. This makes sense because otherwise customisations would be untranslatable, while (in my example) one may well want to translate the MediaWiki:Histlegend customisation too, on a multilingual wiki. They may get out of sync on the wiki but it's their responsibility to fix. Both options also satisfy Liangent's requirement in bug 1495 comment 34 (after the /zh-* subpages are deleted). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
