Changing the alphabetical sorting (collation) @ ab.wikipedia.org (Abkhaz Wikipedia)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Originally requested and discussed here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech#Sorting. Filing this task to keep track of the code and config patches.

(Abkhaz language is also known as Abkhazian, but MediaWiki uses 'Abkhaz' in languages/data/Names.php, so I'm sticking to that.)

ICU does not support Abkhazian, but we can add support for it fairly easily, using the system that @Bawolff previously implemented for Bashkir (see T162823).

[mediawiki/core@wmf/1.31.0-wmf.17] Add collation for Abkhaz (ab)

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/406187

I scheduled the deployment of the configuration change for next Tuesday, 30 January: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#deploycal-item-20180130T1400 (this is the soonest I can be available).

I will also be backporting the collation patch to wmf.17, as otherwise we would have to wait until at least 8 February (there are no regular MediaWiki deployments this week and next).
