Summary: Picking article title per language version doesn't
work
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: Language converter
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Now I am reporting a bug that concerns interaction between two features of the
language converter on sr.wp:
1. The feature that allows an user to explicitly state what title should be
displayed on any of the language versions (sr, sr-ec, sr-el). Its syntax is
like this:
-{T|sr-ec:<title for sr-ec version>;sr-el:<title for sr-el version>}-
2. The feature that transliterates the article title and content from sr-ec to
sr-el and vice versa.
Explanation:
The feature (2) transliterates the whole title either to Cyrillic or Latin
script, which doesn't always give right results. The feature (1) was introduced
in order to provide user option to specify how exactly titles should be
displayed in either version.
==========================
Previous / wanted state:
So, supposedly the feature (1) should overwrite the doings of the feature (2).
If the feature (1) is called, the (2) should stay put concerning the title. If
the feature (1) has not been called, the (2) should define both title and
content.
==========================
The Problem:
This doesn't work like that anymore. The user is still able to choose different
titles for different language versions using the feature (1). It works. But it
seems that the feature (2) is now able to process the results afterward, which
defeats the purpose of the feature (1) in most cases. An illustration:
State before:
if(feature 1 used) {
title = as defined by feature 1(title)
} else {
title = as defined by feature 2(title)
}
Present state:
if(feature 1 used) {
title = as defined by feature 1(title)
}
title = as defined by feature 2(title)
I hope you get my meaning.
==========================
Examples:
In this article:
http://sr.wikipedia.org/sr-ec/Innuendo_%28%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B1%D1%83%D0%BC%29
Has been stated:
-{T|sr-ec:Innuendo (албум);sr-el:Innuendo (album)}-
Which means the titles for the versions should be:
sr-ec:Innuendo (албум)
sr-el:Innuendo (album)
On contrary, the actual results are:
sr-ec:Иннуендо (албум)
sr-el:Innuendo (album)
Thanks,
M
