Event Timeline

Change #1220010 had a related patch set uploaded (by Hubaishan; author: Hubaishan):

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] [config] Set Category Collation for arwiktionary

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1220010

So reading the discussion via google translate, it sounds like many people in the arwiktionary community aren't exactly sure of the precise differences in the sorting rules. Is a demo site needed so that people can test and play with it prior to changing the setting on arwiktionary, or is that unnecessary and this change is good to go?

Keep in mind there are no config changes happening until week of jan 6, but I can still make a test wiki at any time if people need/want that.
