Krinkle <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #10 from Krinkle <[email protected]> 2011-10-09 22:45:36 UTC --- The Excel-comparison doesn't cover all the way. The key difference is that Excel knows the language of the original document. So it's trivial to load that translation and map one to another. If you go to https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Statistik is has no way of knowing that it's german. Because there is no original document or language code. Meaning that it would have to scan all languages, which is currently not possible because of the following: * Right now aliases have to be unique between all other aliases in that language and the canonical names. IF MW would go load and scan all languages, this policy needs to be changed technically that there may never be a collision between aliases even acros all languages. * Last I checked there are a few special page that have a localized name in one language, while another special page has another localized name in some other language that is the same word. Languages have words that sometimes mean different things. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
