@DannyS712 Just to clarify: do you mean copy-paste those existing messages from meta-wiki and then make amendments to them?

I mean like "gw-msg-foo" is unclear, please clarify

Ok. I copyedited some of the messages and omitted others that I couldn't do/think of any better messages. I listed some messages id that could use global mediawiki messages.

qqq
	qqq: {
		'gw-msg-asOf': 'Changes as of $1',
		'gw-msg-changes': '$1 unseen changes',
		'gw-msg-changesFeed': 'Sites with new changes',
		'gw-msg-emptyFeed': 'Sites with no new changes/Sites without any new changes',
		'gw-msg-filter-anon': 'Only anonymous user edits',
		'gw-msg-notify-settingsSaved': 'mediawikiGlobalMessages + "Redirecting to Global watchlist"',
		'gw-msg-resetChanges': 'Reset changes made to settings',
	},

Messages that could use mediawiki global messages

  • gw-msg-unwatch
  • gw-msg-option-live
  • gw-msg-notify-settingsSaved (like in Special:Preferences)

What global messages could be used? If you can find one in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/core/+/refs/heads/master/languages/i18n/en.json that works, I'll use those. But, at least for "unwatch", I want it to be lowercase, and the core message is uppercase.

Live: rcfilters-liveupdates-button - "Live updates"
Saved: savedprefs - "Your preferences have been saved."

Hmm, that could be easily solved using a Javascript method. Let me find that.

Found it. toLowerCase() should work.

Also, changes can just be nchanges - "{{PLURAL:$1|change|changes}}"

Yes.

There could be other global messages out there that you can use.

Maybe, but I don't want to be applying lego transformations to translations (can't find it now, but basically lego translation = FooBar -> translate Foo, and translate Bar, and then concatenate the result, instead of translating in context the who message)

You have a point. Also global equivalents of Save, Group results by page, and Settings can be used.

The QQQ is the documentation for the message translation, not the english message itself
