On-wiki config

FWIW, the wiki uses FlaggedRevs.

The translations has been provided for 4 aliases. But it misses the prefix.
For instance, for "Special:Homepage", the translation given is "নীড়পাতা", which doesn't include "Special:".

We actually have to remove the namespace prefix (for special page aliases only) so not including them makes things slightly simpler.

Oh, great! I'm updating the process accordingly.

https://bn.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/ is mostly set up (thanks @Urbanecm!) but suggested edits are kinda broken due to a (beta-specific) configuration error. I'll fix that in the evening deploy window.

We should remove (দৃশ্যমান সম্পাদনা) from https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-mediawiki-config/blob/master/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php#L26398 & https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-mediawiki-config/blob/master/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php#L26403

It was added in title to disambiguate from other similar pages. No need to include it in the 'text' =>. Most of other wikis also didn't include it.

@Urbanecm_WMF do you want to include that in your patch so we don't need a second config change?

Meh, how did I miss this one. Done now :).

@Urbanecm_WMF -- we have received permission from Legal to deploy this. When can we do it? @Ankan_WMF, after we hear when @Urbanecm_WMF plans to deploy, then you can announce to your community.

I'm going to deploy this on Monday February 08, 2021.

Technically, I can deploy this today as well (in ~6 hours), but I believe that's really short notice. If @Ankan_WMF, @Trizek-WMF or @MMiller_WMF think it's fine, I'm happy to go with the earlier date too.

@Urbanecm_WMF -- I think Monday is better, because then @Trizek-WMF will be around to help if needed.

Okay, let it be Monday then :).

@Trizek-WMF Actually... maybe Monday is not best after all. T272753: Scale: pilot help panel with mentorship in frwiki, bnwiki, arwiki, viwiki is scheduled for Wednesday, and we probably don't want two days of help desk questions at bnwiki. Do you think I should make bnwiki to direct help panel question to mentors on Monday, or enable the features at bnwiki on Wednesday? CC @MMiller_WMF.

Hello, i added this https://w.wiki/xvK. Hope it is correct. Q: Should i remove "টেমপ্লেট:" (Template:) from this page? I noticed that other Wiki didn't added that part. Or it doesn't matter?

AFAICS, it doesn't matter whether the namespace is included or not. @Tgr @kostajh, can you confirm that?

The documentation says they should not have a namespace. The way the code is written now it would work both ways, but maybe it's better not to assume that.

Starts to get a bit offtopic, but...I can't find any docs? Can you link them in T274017, please?

I also think deploying the updated thing directly will be better. Otherwise, it can be a bit confusing (unless you plan to check the situation on bnwiki by deploying the previous version and keep it for a few weeks).

Let's have both at the same time, if possible. If not, let's have the bn.wp deployment the day after.

This will be deployed on Wednesday.

This just happened. Moving to QA to ensure it works as intended.

And when i click on suggested article e.g. https://bn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B7:Homepage/newcomertask/734541?geclickid=b6e1g9s5orucfr1rsj2o2s1hdqjuhob5&getasktype=copyedit, it doesn't show me any tutorial.

Thank you for your feedback, @Aftabuzzaman.

There is a nowiki tag on mentor description. however signature list looks correct to me. how can i fix it?

My mentor is ‪আফতাবুজ্জামান‬, and I don't have any nowiki tag. Maybe it is in @ANKAN's description. Please don't fix it! :) We will check on what's causes this first.

I have it on my side. Have you enabled the Help panel in your preferences?

I think i found the problem. There is this line উদাহরণ: <code><nowiki>* [[ব্যবহারকারী:ANKAN]]|আমি নানাবিধ বিষয়ে অবদান রাখি, এবং আপনার কোনো ধরনের সমস্যায় সহায়তা করতে পারলে সত্যিই আনন্দিত হব।</nowiki></code> which causing this (i think).
Above that line there is another <code><nowiki>* [[ব্যবহারকারী:ব্যবহারকারী নাম]]|বর্ণনা</nowiki></code>. Will it cause any problem?

Thanks. Now its showing. Previously i enabled newcomer homepage but did not knew there is another.

Oh, this is in the description. This is not supposed to happen.

The description you have on this page is at the right format. Let's figure it out!

T274416: Mentor's description example, wrapped in nowiki tags, is considered as a mentor by the MentorshipModule

Checked - there are two outstanding tasks

• T274379: Numbers on the help panel in bn wiki are Arabic numerals instead of Bengali numerals - the patch should be deployed to production soon
• T274416: Mentor's description example, wrapped in nowiki tags, is considered as a mentor by the MentorshipModule - which is a known problem; the workaround was suggested by @Tgr

Note The Impact module is not enabled.

Another thing needs to be fixed: in the help panel, "About the help panel" (সাহায্য প্যানেল সম্পর্কে) and "About suggested edits" (পরামর্শকৃত সম্পাদনা সম্পর্কে) are linked to the English pages on MediaWiki, not the translated ones.

Can you provide the right links?

In T266020#6823581, @Trizek-WMF wrote:

Sure:

(Links to the translated ones)

• About the help panel
• About suggested edits

The links sound to be correct to me. On my computer, they link to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Focus_on_help_desk/Help_panel. Special:MyLanguage then redirects you to the best possible language. For instance, I'm currently logged in on mediawiki.org, and my language is set to Czech. Hence, Special:MyLanguage redirects me to the Czech version of the page, even if I click there on bnwiki.

On the other hand, if I'm logged out, then mediawiki.org is always in English, and it is not currently possible to set it to another language for anonymous users. @Krinkle wrote a gadget originally for Commons (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Krinkle/Scripts/AnonymousI18N), I'm not sure how easy is it to port it to mediawiki.org.

Can you try to log in to mediawiki.org, set your language to Bengali there, and then click the link again?

@Urbanecm_WMF yes, after setting Bengali in the preference section on mediawiki.org, it redirects to the Bengali version. Thank you.

As you have mentioned, in the current condition, English is selected in the preference section on MediaWiki by default. So the newcomers will always have the English version of the page at first, redirecting from the help panel on bn wiki. They have the option to select language afterward, I think it'd be better to get the Bengali page directly (maybe as a later task). :)
