Should any of these be be brought into the sh language files for any sh language wikis?

I am not sure whether I good place a bug.

(In reply to comment #2)

I am not sure whether I good place a bug.

That's already been fixed by Sam, and we can take it from this point forward, so let's don't worry about that and focus on different things.

I'm not sure what is the purpose of the list placed in comment 0; are these all supposed to be aliases available only for sh.wikipedia, or should at least some of them be added to https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/REL1_20/php/html/MessagesSh_8php_source.html ? (I notice there are some significant differences between how namespaces are named in this file and in your list; perhaps you should also address that.)

That would be a lot of aliases to add, and I'm not sure what's the best way forward considering the various complexities around the Serbo-Croatian language.

I'd generally assume that some of the names you gave in comment 0 should be defined in $wgSitename or $wgMetaNamespace (for instance), some moved to MessagesSh.php, and others added as local aliases in our config files.

Can we get more people to have a look at this request and help us figure it out?

The question was whether these should be enabled only on shwiki or on all Serbo-Croatian projects (not Wikimedia-specific).

My guess is that all except NS_PROJECT and NS_PROJECT_TALK aliases are good on all sh-language wikis. Could you provide the translation of "Project" in both scripts?

Actually, I guess the Project translations are not needed, as you just use the site name.

The canonical name should be activated only on Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia. "Project" namespace should not be renamed.

This bug is a little unclear. Clarifying it might cause it to be moved along faster:

*Some of the time the word "alias" is used, other times the phrase "canonical namespace". These are two separate concepts in MediaWiki, that do different things. An alias is like a short cut to a namespace (Like how [[Project:About]] points to the page [[Wikipedia:About]] on english wikipedia. The namespace name, is the text of the namespace actually shown to the user. (On english Wikipedia, "Wikipedia" is the name of the wikipedia namespace)

*Its unclear why these namespaces should not apply to non-wikimedia sh projects. If they are just Cyrillic versions of latin namespace names, then they would be useful everywhere. This should be clarified.

To do work as has been work for English Wikipedia in InitialiseSettings.php. Example: http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=a6BMdyuA%2FVw%2BcT5vW2kQ9oh4l5k2TGxc#.UnrJ_OKmayv

I was wrong it is wgNamespaceAliases.

Will this be done for Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia?

When will be to resolved this bug?

When comment 8 got answered sufficiently.

Wikipedia namespace is standard namespace on Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia.

For this there was consensus it seems, one user apparently finds it useful to avoid explicit redirects from cyrillic to latin script. However, only one redirect is found under these prefixes (Wikipedija: , specifically).

This wiki has always been a bit "special"... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Serbo-Croatian doesn't contain a specific approval and came before the languge policy, so no specific script was approved/specified by LangCom.

So, these aliases are both very non-standard and currently useless, but arguing over them is not worth my time.

I don't know what's the intention that a screenshot of a deleted discussion on some wikipage was added and how it is relevant for this ticket at all, and I'm afraid I don't care too much anymore, because this discussion is becoming endless (and that's not an isolated problem, cf. bug 61380 for example).
It wastes time of people CC'ed (if they don't ignore this ticket already).

14 comments have been added since the reporter was asked questions in comment 27 which still have not been answered. Every comment creates bugmail that people receive and read (in theory).

So I'm also proposing WONTFIX for this ticket as per comment 35, as the reporter has repeatedly ignored questions directed to him/her.
Effective communication unfortunately seems to be very difficult here.
