@WMDE-Fisch Here's the ticket we've discussed.

Change 440885 had a related patch set uploaded (by WMDE-Fisch; owner: WMDE-Fisch):
[mediawiki/extensions/FileExporter@master] Change beta feature desc text to be Commons specific

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/440885

Ok the patch above is for changing the text in the beta features message. For the other message I am not sure for the following reasons:

• Third parties using this extension will use them probably outside the Commons context.
• The extension itself does not care where the link to import to goes and can be configured arbitrarily.
• That's why I would not change the "general extension description" that (only?) shows up in https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Version
• We could make it so, that this text will only be different in the Wikimedia world deployed version but still I am not sure if this should be done.
• But still I personally think we should leave it as it is, this page is more for techs anyway and most descriptions there are pretty general.

• The beta feature test could be more specific imo because it will only be used in our context and removed when we leave beta.

Other opinions @thiemowmde, @Lea_WMDE ?

Agreed. This is why the patch https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/440885 is not in the WikimediaMessages extension.

[…] I would not change the "general extension description" that (only?) shows up in https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Version

I agree. To my knowledge Special:Version is the only place where this text appears, and I wonder why the ticket asks for this change, when the task description claims that "the labels for the extension in general should stay"? As far as I'm concerned the message fileexporter-desc is this "general label".

• My two cents as the person who created the ticket: It's fine for the text to remain as "fileexporter-desc": "Easy exporting of files to another wiki".
• "fileexporter-desc": "Easy exporting of files to Wikimedia Commons" was added to the ticket before we decided that it should be more general.
• I guess, when we later added the hint "The labels for the FileExporter extension in general should stay the way they are", we overlooked to change the "fileexporter-desc" in the ticket accordingly.

Ah, I see. I missed this edit. Thanks!

sounds all good to me! Thanks for clarifying!
