--- Comment #4 from Purodha Blissenbach <[email protected]> 2011-04-07 17:07:09 UTC --- (In reply to comment #3) > I think MediaWiki:-namespace subpages are next to impossible to put a right > direction on. Contrary, it is easy. The subpage name contains the language or locale code at its end, which gives the intended directionality for the message rendered and the textarea, if any. All other parts of the page may have a directionality of their own. Of course, the idea that the page had a directionality common to all its parts is (generally) wrong, and the directionality of the outer parts of the page should likely be derived from the combinations of wiki and interface language (or locale) used, in the usual way. > Note that this case is limited to scenarios where a non-RTL langauge user is > editing an RTL-language, since otherwise the direction is inherited from the > page user language. Not true. Of course, it applied as well to an RTL user language being used while editing an LTR language message. Btw., while inheritance can of course be used to save an HTML attribute being output, this is of little practical concern, imho. I do not see any difference between the normal editing interface and the scripted one. In either case, the server can output everything correctly to the client, and no script interaction concerning directionality is required. -- 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
