Bug #: 30049
Summary: Help desk link uses user-interface language
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: UploadWizard
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
The help desk link on the start page of the upload wizard uses the
user-language localized version of MediaWiki:Mwe-upwiz-help-desk-url. This
means, every language points to a different page. For obvious reasons, this is
not a good idea.
I propose the following behaviour:
* MediaWiki:Mwe-upwiz-help-desk-url contains the project-language localized
message.
* The link on the upload wizard start page checks for a _local_ version of a
user-language localized version of MediaWiki:Mwe-upwiz-help-desk-url. If one is
found, use that one. If no local user-language localization can be found, use
the non-localized MediaWiki:Mwe-upwiz-help-desk-url message (and not the
default user-language localized version).
Example: Project has language setting en, user A has language setting es, user
B has language setting fr. MediaWiki:Mwe-upwiz-help-desk-url/es exists.
User A will see the local content of MediaWiki:Mwe-upwiz-help-desk-url/es as a
link to the help desk.
User B will see the content of MediaWiki:Mwe-upwiz-help-desk-url as a link to
the help desk. As that message does not exist, it defaults to the localized
message of MediaWiki:Mwe-upwiz-help-desk-url/en.
