Provide easy access to MyLanguage links for translated pages
Open, MediumPublicFeature

Description

Feature summary:
Provide an easy way to copy a page's URL (or just Page-Title) that automagically includes the Special:MyLanguage/ string, to encourage/assist everyone to distribute links with this parameter.

Use case(s):

  • As someone who prefers a non-default (usually English) language, I want people to more frequently share links with me that include the Special:MyLanguage/ string.
  • As someone who wants to share a link to a translated page, I want something better than having to remember to manually type Special:MyLanguage/ into the URL-bar (pre-copy) or the pasted link.

Benefits:

  • To encourage and assist people in sending (and receiving) the most appropriate link

Example:

  • If I want to share a link to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables#Alignment
    • Then I want an easy way to get either of these text strings into my clipboard:
      • Special:MyLanguage/Help:Tables#Alignment
      • https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Tables#Alignment
