The index and page namespaces are defined in the Proofread Page extension, for which I just submitted a patch above. In addition to this, you can localize the names of the following special pages:

• Special:IndexPages
• Special:PagesWithoutScans
• Special:ProofreadIndexOai
• Special:ProofreadIndexOaiSchema

(The last two don't seem to be in use on Wikimedia projects.) @Ruthven, if you can provide translations for these I can add them as well. (Oh, and translations don't have to be in AwkwardCamelCase, but can be in Normal spelling.)

The other namespaces (author and work) are defined in wmf-config.

@jhsoby That's the translation. It's up to you to separate the words and use lowercase, or keep the AwkwardCamelCase

Special:IndexPages   --> Speciàle:Paggene Ennece
Special:PagesWithoutScans   --> Speciàle:PaggeneSenzaScan  (e.g. can be Paggene senza scan)
Special:ProofreadIndexOai   --> Speciàle:EnneceLeggiutoOai
Special:ProofreadIndexOaiSchema   --> Speciàle:EnneceLeggiutoSistemaOai

Please note, with regards to the Talk namespaces, that the gramatically correct way to write it is posted at T210826#4807547 and is chiàcchiera. We should use that (in consistency as well to what we use already at MessagesNap.php).

@StevenJ81 (or someone from Neapolitan Wikisource), Hi, I wanna ask about what $wgCategoryCollation (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgCategoryCollation) will be used in the wiki. I guess it would be the default one (since Neapolitan Wikipedia uses the default one), but .. I'm kinda not sure, that's why I'm asking here to verify about that

According to the manual, there are collations specific for each language; nap is not there but I guess the Italian collation should be pretty fine. It would be interesting to know which collation it.wikisource uses.

@Candalua From looking in the InitialiseSettings.php in mediawiki-config repo, itwikisource uses the default one. .. though itwiki uses uca-it-u-kn

@rafidaslam Given that we'll deal with volumes/collections numbering, maybe a numeric sorting will suit the project better.

Collation uca-nap-u-kn would be the best then (if there's no support for nap perhaps you could use uca-it-u-kn or uca-default-u-kn).

Alright, just updated the patch to use uca-it-u-kn for napwikisource's $wgCategoryCollation

Given that hywwiki has been created, am I correct to assume that creating napwikisource would also be possible now?

Probably not. Per T212597, there are/were some major problems with the script we use for creating new wikis. It's obviously possible to fix the mess caused by the script, but we prefer to know the root cause of the problems before continuing with any wikis. Ping @Ladsgroup for confirmation, as he discovered those major issues.

There are some complexities that might bite us. I will give this another try on Monday

Note that T212597 was resolved.

it bit us.

The issue still exists and it's impossible to make new wikis without lots of bandage and hacks. I'm doing this in volunteer capacity and I don't have time to do it anymore :(

@Ladsgroup That's sad. Do we have a phabricator task filled? If so, could you link it, please? Thanks!

Do you mean that it's impossible to create new projects?
In alternative, it's possible to create a project with a working version of Mediawiki? I mean: in the past projects were created (at least in 2003). Why it's not possible to create them in the same way as before, using the same version of the software? (sorry if the question sounds silly)

@Ruthven It's technically possible to create a new project, but workarounding the bug is really time expensive.

By the way, simply rollbacking to previous software version doesn't have to help. The Wikimania infrastructure is rather complex, and the addWiki script has to communicate with a lot of different parts of the infrastructure. The bug can be literally in any part of the infrastructure, and can happen at any time, even with no change of the addWiki script itself.

Rest assured that if there were a simple way how to workaround the bug, we would make use of it ;).

There are several issues at the same time. One is that T212881: addWiki.php broken creating ES tables is still broken (I had it when I made hywwiki) but then re-running with skipping the main cluster causes the text table to point to non-existing value in External Storage and then giving fatal error (I had set things manually in the database to get it back to work). And then once all of this is done, you end up with lots of parts of addWiki.php not being ran so you need to run eval.php and manually run those bits. (Like Cirrus Search indexing, etc.)

My suggestion is to make addWiki.php parts modular, let the runner run each bits of it without much hassle.

@Ladsgroup Thanks for your explanation. Shouldn't we reopen T212881: addWiki.php broken creating ES tables then and/or fill a task for making addWiki.php modular? Theoretically, that would include "just" splitting addWiki's execute method into several other methods (maybe another maintenance scripts for easier running?)

I would do both

Done.

Is there a proposed timeline on this and T218155? Is there information I need to get from the contributor communities to help move this along?

@StevenJ81 Hi, all wiki creations are blocked on T212881. That's a technical problem, and a wiki cannot be technically created.

Thanks for the update, @Urbanecm. Because Western Armenian Wikipedia was created, I thought that had been resolved.

Thank you for asking there if there has been any progress; I've subscribed to that task to make it easier for me to follow.

Unfortunately the process is still broken, so I won't be creating any more (unless we get any changes to core/similar to try and fix it) new wikis just now

But we have things documented as the current state of play, so hopefully can make some progress

@jhsoby, @SPQRobin or @MF-Warburg normally handles imports. If you do, remember to import all revisions! :)
