Bug #: 28980
Summary: parser tags such as <ref>, <poem>, <timeline> etc.
cannot be localized
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Internationalization

Before the Berlin 2011 hackathon i published in several Hebrew
Wikipedia-related forums a call for the most annoying RTL issues. This was the
most frequent complaint:
Parser tags such as <ref>, <poem>, <timeline> etc. cannot be localized. This is
not a terrible issue for left-to-right languages, but it is a serious one for
RTL languages. For example, <ref> is very often used with URLs, and these get
jumbled up. It's hard to write them in the first place, and it's even harder to
correct them after they are written. Replacing <ref> with something like <הערה>
would make adding references to RTL wikis a lot easier. The same is true for
the other tags of this kind.
I talked to Victor Vasiliev and Tim Starling about it in the Berlin Hackathon
2011 and they said that it's generally doable.
