Notify initial 30 wiktionaries about transition to Parsoid Read Views
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

  • Talk to Comms to see if they want to give us MassMessage access or if they prefer we go through them
  • Generate a list of pages to send to
    • Probably https://wdmm.toolforge.org/ with Q16503 (village pump) and wiki group wiktionary is the way to go
    • and then filter through what we want to deploy, that should be trivial
  • Write the message:
    • Check the the status of {{int:}} on Parsoid to see if we can/should use this
    • unclear WHERE we should write this (somewhere on wiki) - this gets copy-pasted in m:Special:MassMessage, if I understand correctly
    • add {{int:Please-translate}} to the message to ask for local translation
    • {{int:Hello}} {{Int:Feedback-thanks-title}} for greetings
    • short, simple sentences
    • manual link to username rather than ~~~~
    • add a link to centralized place (probably https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Parsoid/Parser_Unification/Known_Issues), either mention that we're not monitoring the thread or manually go get notifications on threads
  • If dealing with the sending ourselves

See T386272: Parsoid Read Views to Wiktionary deploy ~2025-02-13. Short answers:

{{int}} works, but the lang/dir tags are set wrong, because {{USERLANGUAGE}} is not enabled on WMF wikis (and might be broken in Parsoid): https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#Localization

So instead use {{MediaWiki:please-translate}}, in the signature section, so that it appears in the *page* language (not the *user* language) but has lang/dir set correctly.

This isn't an issue going forward, since we'll be sending a translated message.
