It need to have correct alphabet sorting (at category pages, lists, etc) in Lithuanian (lt) wikipedia. Current order words, which begin with diacritics (č, š, ž...), puts to the end of list but it should be arranged alphabetically:
Lithuanian alphabet: Aa Ąą Bb Cc Čč Dd Ee Ęę Ėė Ff Gg Hh Ii Įį Yy Jj Kk Ll Mm Nn Oo Pp Rr Ss Šš Tt Uu Ųų Ūū Vv Zz Žž
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Set category collation to uca-lt on lt.wikipedia | operations/mediawiki-config | master | +1 -0 |
We would need to set $wgCategoryCollation and then run updateCollation.php as mentioned by @Reedy on T47525#518433
Lithuanian is apparently supported by MediaWiki https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/master/includes/Collation.php$222 includes/Collation.php so we will want:
ltwiki => 'uca-lt' ltwikibooks => 'uca-lt' ltwikiquote => 'uca-lt' ltwikisource => 'uca-lt' ltwiktionary => 'uca-lt'
Samogitian is apparently not supported. Maybe we can sort them by uca-default or identity. I would recommend splitting that to a separate task (i.e. create another task in Phabricator just for Samogitian).
This task description has been edited to handle the lt.wikipedia request.
A new task has been created at T124718 for bat-smg.wikipedia.
@Hugo.arg Could you discuss the change on your local wiki? We require a local project consensus to request configuration changes.
By the way @hashar I see you include other projects. Do you think we should plan a whole migration for every wiki with a custom collation available instead of considering this a change to be requested by every communtiy?
