Set UCA-IT as it.wiki's collation
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Per https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bar/Discussioni/Ordine_alfabetico_di_default please set UCA-IT as it.wiki's. Dunno if numeric sorting is also included into UCA-IT or is a different option. If so please enable it.

Event Timeline

Could you clarify 'as soon as numeric collation is available'?

Vituzzu renamed this task from Set UCA-IT as default collation for it.wiki to Set UCA-IT as it.wiki's collation.May 31 2016, 10:26 PM
Vituzzu updated the task description. (Show Details)

Numeric collation

Currently, the default uppercase collation sort correctly numbers, as shown on https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Programma_Apollo.

The uca-fr collation sorts correctly numbers too, as shown on https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%C3%A9gorie:Mission_Apollo

The question is if uca-it will also sort them correctly, to avoid 1 10 11 12 13 2 3 4.

As you found out it seems numeric sorting is made by mediawiki, not by uca

@Dereckson @Vituzzu: The only reason it's sorting correctly currently is due to manual hacks on each article. For example, at https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_9:
[[Categoria:Programma Apollo|Apollo 09]]
Once Italian Wikipedia is using uca-it, we'll be able to turn on numerical sorting for it, so that the hacks won't be needed any more.

Most of has no sorting keys actually, anyway by turning on UCA's numeric sorting we will have the same result with less efforts.
