Hello,
I'm currently verifying the technical viability of a category entry sorting
problem on Chinese Wikipedia:
As is known to everyone, Chinese Wikipedia is a multi language variant wiki.
This raises a problem as different regions have different Romanization system
of Chinese. For instance, Mainland China exclusively use Pinyin as for sorting,
while Taiwan uses Zhuyin (or Bopomofo), and there isn't even a popular one in
Hong Kong so people tend to use stroke count for sorting. This situation brings
requirements for separating category collations by user language variant
preference.
However, MediaWiki only allows settings a single $wgCategoryCollation currently
(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCategoryCollation). I'm writing to
ask:
- Is it possible to have different category collations according to the current
language variant?
- If not, does it require a significant amount of work (such as changing
database schema) to implement this feature?
Best regards,
diskdance
