Summary: User language settings for autocreated accounts at
Commons should carry over from homewiki
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Language setup
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
If an account is autocreated at Commons, the language preference for the user
should be the one from the homewiki.
Sample: http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Novan1
has "eo" as setting in the homewiki (eo_wiki), but the interface appears in
English at Commons. With this enhancement it would appear in Esperanto.
This is different for Commons than from other wikis as Commons hosts files for
other wikis. If the sample user would edit enwiki, the language should
generally be in English.
