Add namespace translations for Tibetan wiki
Closed, ResolvedPublic2 Estimated Story Points

Description

This task is about adding namespace translations for the Tibetan language Wikipedia. Currently, the namespace names appear in English, which may not be ideal for readers. This is because the translations have not been added to the MediaWiki core MessagesBo.php file, as identified in T391725.

Instructions for submitting a patch are in the parent task. Check https://translatewiki.net/wiki/User_talk:Dhondup#c-Dhondup-20260224032100-Srishakatux-20250530012600 for namespace translations.

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 point to the codebase URL and provide clear steps to help a contributor get set up 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

Hi everyone! I'm Manish, a 2nd-year CS student interested in contributing to MediaWiki for GSoC 2026.

I'd like to work on this task to add namespace translations for the Tibetan wiki. I have experience with:

  • JavaScript and web development
  • Open-source contribution workflows
  • Git and collaborative development

I've already reviewed the "New Developers" guidelines and understand the contribution process. I'm ready to follow the instructions provided in the task description and work with the community.

Please let me know if this task is still available and if there are any specific steps I should take to get started.

Thank you!
