--- Comment #18 from Robert Leverington <[email protected]> 2011-03-14 18:31:12 UTC --- Thanks for posting this list. I'd be happy to split the workload with you, though we would need to have separate bug reports for each item (a lot seem to be very related so could be combined in to a few larger reports). I do think that its imperative to commit reasonably often as mentioned earlier, looking at these changes though there are a lot of items I do not believe this will result in any large-scale change. Additionally I don't think there is an issue with making a large number of commits out of branch (though please correct me if I'm wrong). (In reply to comment #13) > Here is a quick, possibly incomplete, list of things I am working on: > - language code / locale code links to wrong pages. > - language code / locale code links cannot be avoided. > - some language codes / locale codes are not recognized when capitalized > correctly as of BCP 47. > - some language codes / locale codes are not recognized at all. > - language codes are shown capitalized differently from user input. > - capitalization by user should be irrelevant. > - some localized messages in the extensions .i18n file are not found. > - wrong category links for skill levels used in inner Babel boxes. > - ISO 639-1 language codes are shown even though user choose ISO 369-3 codes. This was an intentional decision to normalise language codes so the same are used throughout the wiki. In the future ISO 639-5 will be in use which favours 639-1 codes. > - ISO 639-1 language codes are used even in wikis accepting ISO 369-3 codes > only.

This was an intentional decision because changing the category format will result in the automatic creation of hundreds of categories and is not something that should be taken lightly. (And definitely not something that there should be the risk of administrators edit-warring over). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
