[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Initial configuration for mnwwiki

Project talk namespace should be ဝဳကဳပဳဒဳယာ_ဓရီုကျာ

Project talk namespace should be ဝဳကဳပဳဒဳယာ_ဓရီုကျာ

Yes, right. I don't know how that happened – I must have made an error copypasting.

Just a heads-up: The last wiki created, banwiki, has had issues with imported pages not showing up in categories. A null edit fixes the problem for each affected page. This seems to suggest that importing was done before the wiki was properly configured to recognize the local prefix "Kategori:" as equivalent to "Category:". If this is the case, we should be careful to prevent this from happening again with mnwwiki (and in the future).

Duly noted. For banwiki I imported everything within an hour of the wiki's creation, so it's very likely that something wasn't quite ready yet (although, the configuration for the namespaces was there from the start). I'll wait a bit longer next time. :-)

@jhsoby Do you plan to do the DNS thingie too? See https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Add_a_wiki#DNS for details.

I wasn't planning to. From that description it seems like the only thing I could do is to add the language to langlist.tmpl – everything else would have to be done by someone with more permissions than I have. So I don't know if there's much point in me doing that one addition?

There is, it's always done that way during wiki creation ;).

Okay, given that T235740: Localize namespaces for Mon is not deployed yet. Let's start working on it after wmf.3 being deployed everywhere. Hopefully next Monday. What do you think @Urbanecm?

Agreed.

Urbanecm moved this task from Working on to Wikis ready for creation on the User-Urbanecm board.
