[mediawiki/extensions/Flow@master] Define the Chinese translation of Topic namespace to 话题
Need all Chinese(Chinese Wikipedia, Chinese Wiktionary, Chinese Wikibooks...) site communitie consensus?
Per the language team, there is no need for on-wiki consensus, if it's just a straightforward generic translation. It seems to be. Google Translate gives "topic", along with some related terms that mostly support it being a correct translation.
I'm not aware of any strict rules about this, and it should be noted that these namespace names apply not only to Wikimedia sites, but to all users of the relevant extension.
What is certain, however, is that looking at a bit of community discussion about this can serve as a useful sanity check that the name sounds generally sensible to the people who know the language.
I've started discussions in zhwiki and if we get a consensus. I think there is no problem with this translation.
Please add 話題 for traditional Chinese also.
@RazeSoldier Please provide both Traditional and simplified Chinese version for this kind of request.
Thank you.
Sorry, only once choose Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese at the same key(NS_TOPIC) in $namespaceNames['zh'] array. If we write both at the same time, the value of the key behind will overwrite the value of the previous value. Only the last key value will take effect.
From the perspective of zhwiki, I should modify wmf-config instead of directly modifying Flow extension.
With reference with T187546, the real name should be kept as "topic" which is similar to other namespaces on zh.wiki.
