adding AJAX Poll extension. JavaScript should be cleaned up (and maybe rewritten to use jQuery?) so that we can support ResourceLoader and functions in AJAXPoll.php should be moved into a new class instead of them being in the global scope. Comment: I'm aware of that, but I believe that the whole message documentation system in its current state is as functional as Special:UserRights before Werdna rewrote it. #<tt>qqq</tt> is not a translation and adds additional, unwanted clutter into the .i18n.php files #Translators are not the only audience of message documentation; wiki administrators (end users) might also be interested in how to customize an extension (or a skin, etc.) #You can't really embed images in a PHP file, but [[Nimbus skin#Internationalization|you can do that on a wiki page]] For me, it's all about quality, not about quantity — a picture is worth a thousand words, as they say, and I think that images are a lot more useful than English text snippets; with images, you can actually see where and how the message you're about to translate is used. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
