Change wording on Special:Whatlinkshere
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

On [[Special:Whatlinkshere]] the text ""Displayed 50 items" is shown. It is defined in MediaWiki message "whatlinkshere-count": "Displayed $1 {{PLURAL:$1|item|items}}."

Changing this to "Displaying 50 items" would be better (T44357#5887338). (Another possibility is "Showing 50 items", like English Wikipedia has done locally.)

How to fix this

The file to edit is languages/i18n/en.json.

Look for the message key 'whatlinkshere-count' .

See example of a similar change.

Event Timeline

Thank you for tagging this task with good first task for Wikimedia newcomers!

Newcomers often may not be aware of things that may seem obvious to seasoned contributors, so please take a moment to reflect on how this task might look to somebody who has never contributed to Wikimedia projects.

A good first task is a self-contained, non-controversial task with a clear approach. It should be well-described with pointers to help a completely new contributor, for example it should clearly pointed to the codebase URL and provide clear steps to help a contributor get setup for success. We've included some guidelines at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/good_first_task/ !

Thank you for helping us drive new contributions to our projects <3
