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: My biggest issue with qqq "messages" is their very presence in the .i18n.php files. We don't commit any other site-specific messages into core or extension .i18n.php files, so I don't think we should commit TWN-specific stuff. As a stopgap solution, I'd propose adding a new configuration variable to [[Extension:Translate]] and thus to TWN's config, which would allow extensions to opt out of certain "translations", in this case, <tt>qqq</tt>. When someone from TWN staff exports messages, certain "languages" for certain extensions (groups) would be excluded, i.e. [[social tools]] could opt out of <tt>qqq</tt> "translations". It's not '''the''' solution for the issue, but it's '''a''' solution that could work. While things have changed quite a lot in 5 years, what [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-i18n/2006-December/000140.html Rob Church wrote back in December 2006] still holds true: "I don't *care* if no one translates it. I would *like* people to do so, but '''the software works fine without 30 odd language versions'''." (emphasis mine) I would also like to point out that the on-wiki documentation written by me, stored on a wiki, has worked well for [http://mwmsg.shoutwiki.com/wiki/User:Misiek95 various] [http://mwmsg.shoutwiki.com/wiki/User:Jedimca0 different] [http://mwmsg.shoutwiki.com/wiki/User:Xd1358 translators] at [[ShoutWiki]]. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
