Bug #: 29339
Summary: create a test wiki for RTL development
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Site requests
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Blocks: 745, 16976
Classification: Unclassified
Following an email conversation with Mark Hershberger and Sumana Harihareswara,
i request a full-fledged wiki for testing RTL features. Such a wiki is created
every now and then as an "Arabic prototype" from the time of the Vector
deployment or some such, but the reality is that such wikis are usually not
maintained and are neglected after it served some purpose. This new wiki should
get at least the same amount of care as test.wikipedia.org.
It may run code from the trunk or something close to it and be used for testing
new MediaWiki versions before deployment. It can be used for testing new
features, extensions and translations that need special testing in RTL
environment.
Just as a reminder, neither translatewiki.net nor test.wikipedia.org can be
used for this, because they are LTR wikis, at least until bug 6100 is resolved.
This wiki will be useful for many languages - Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Divehi
and others. If it's possible, then the default interface language for this wiki
should be English, but if defining English as the interface language forces LTR
directionality, then it should be Arabic - i suppose that it is the RTL
language with the highest demand.
