Amire80 added a comment to T432098: Bot for updating authors in en.json and qqq.json.

My take is that this less important that adding the translators, because git already keeps changelogs on who changed what, but for translation updates they show up as L10n-bot. Would welcome thoughts from a wider group whether this would be useful.

Amire80 added a comment to T429657: Rename "move" operation to "rename".

Moving articles between namespaces is the same system, and it feels wrong to say "rename your article out of the Drafts namespace".

I think on a conceptual level English Wikipedia could, of course, continue to call it ‘moving’ if they want to, either in all circumstances or in some specific circumstances, but it is undoubtedly a problem for common localisation, since other languages already do not use their equivalent of ‘move’ for this sense, and it leads to situations like https://translatewiki.net/?diff=14077787 where someone is translating ‘move’ literally while entire interface translates it to ‘rename’.

Amire80 added a comment to T228745: Allow creating an independent "incubator wiki" instead of hosting all new wikis in one Incubator wiki with prefixes.

And again, it's OK if it's just languagecode.wikipedia.org right from the start as long as patroling for vandalism works reasonably well.

One of points against "skip the creation of incubator wikis and instead just start them immediately" is such domain may easily be treated as official projects, so if someone that does not fluently speak such language created a such project (or if there are no validation that content is in correct language), such content will pollute LLMs.

Amire80 added a comment to T228745: Allow creating an independent "incubator wiki" instead of hosting all new wikis in one Incubator wiki with prefixes.

Note T397367: Drop unneeded empty tables from wikis indicated Wikimedia is not scalable to have thousands of wikis in production (one cluster can host only several hundred databases). We need a different solution (such as "virtual wikis" - some way to have incubator looks as if they are multiple wikis with separate domains, but sharing one database and one common set of tables).

https://he.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Amire80/sulamit in the Hebrew Wiktionary gives "שגיאת תוכן" ("Content error") with both calls, even though the code is the same. (As far as I know, the Hebrew Wiktionary is connected to Wikifunctions identically to the Croatian Wiktionary, but I might be wrong.)

These are indeed a lot of spans that have a variety of classes which do things like : word-break: break-word and white-space: pre-wrap. where it breaks also depends on the width of the screen

I highly doubt there is a css fix that will fix this for all languages and screensizes and all use cases everywhere. We can also reconsider the entire span'ed approach but that is a bigger task.

the lack of people complaining about how to turn it off in Help desk, social media, or Teahouse, I feel like, is a strong indicator of the contrary to your characterization here. I agree that the UI could be clearer, but that is hardly a reason enough to override community consensus based on a small-scale experiment in this context (lacking any pushback from readers)

Amire80 added a comment to T418428: Make it easy to disable the baby globe.

I did some informal user testing of my own and asked several people of different ages and genders who were not logged in to hide the baby globe. 100% of them clicked the "Hide" button, which doesn't hide the baby globe, but does hide the whole sidebar that includes the actual buttons to hide the baby globe. After that, it was hard to find how to reopen this bar. This is informal and perhaps not comprehensive enough, but it does show that hiding it is not as easy for everyone as it should be.

Amire80 added a comment to T411834: Scribunto external dependencies - roadmap and requirements.

That's exactly what I'm saying: It's possible, but not practical.

This task is exploring how to "allow users to deploy Lua code which is stored in Git to multiple wikis", and I'm saying that it's already possible, but almost no one is actually doing it, and adding a new workflow that involves Git differently is not going to work.

This is a non-sequitur. Because people aren't currently using a non-solution doesn't imply that they will not use an actual solution once one exists.

Being technically possible doesn't mean it's possible. There is no chance that Scribunto repo would accept code for buliding infoboxes or location maps or currency converters, even though they're all fine candidates for global modules.

Amire80 added a comment to T411834: Scribunto external dependencies - roadmap and requirements.

The task T209310 is an example of moving the code of an on-wiki Scribunto module to a Git repository. It shows that this is already possible. However, there are almost no other examples of this, so the fact that it's already possible to put Lua code in Git and call it from on-wiki modules didn't cause many module developers to actually use it and move a lot of modules to Git, even common and stable ones.

Is your point really that modules can be shared by putting them in Scribunto git repository? That's like saying we can have global gadgets today by putting gadget code inside the Gadgets extension, or that we can have a repository of fonts by putting them in ULS. None of that is practical since maintainers of Scribunto or Gadgets or ULS aren't responsible for individual modules or gadgets or fonts, respectively. Including Module:No_globals in Scribunto made sense because it's extremely generic.

Amire80 added a comment to T402297: It should be possible to undo edits on mobile.

This adds the message diff-usergroups. Currently, its English text is "$1 user groups" and its qqq is "The text for displaying user groups on diff view."

$1 is not documented in qqq. As far as I can see in the code, it's a number of user groups.

Is this number always more than 1? If it can be 1 or 0, the English message text should probably be something like "$1 user {{PLURAL:$1|group|groups}}". Even if it is always more than one, it should use {{PLURAL}} because many languages use different forms for 2, 4, 6, etc.

Amire80 added a comment to T407653: Messages such as acct_creation_throttle_hit and wikimedia-acct_creation_throttle_hit are hard to translate.

My proposal is to simplify the message language to avoid the "last" terminology -

Account creation is temporarily restricted because visitors from this IP address have exceeded the number of account creations currently allowed. Please try again later.
Kindly note that there is a limit of one account creation allowed every 10 minutes with a maximum of 6 account creations permitted every 24 hours.

This informs them about the limits but doesn't tell them which of the two limits have been tripped. I think it's OK to do this assuming good faith editors will likely try again later and vandals will just move on.

@Amire80 thoughts on this proposal?

I think that when a message is marked as ignored, translations are supposed to be deleted from the JSON files automatically, but @Raymond should confirm.

Amire80 added a comment to T396889: Split untranslatable messages to a separate file.

Sorry for being a bit late for the party, but there is one problem with this change, which should be solved one way or the other: wikis often link to translatewiki.net for message documentation, and now these documentation pages are abandoned and won’t be updated anymore. Ideas:

  • Obvious: revert the change. This isn’t necessarily the best idea, though.
  • Create a new message group called “MediaWiki – ignored”, which behaves much like a regular message group, but all its messages are automatically ignored, still saving the maintenance burden.
  • Display the message documentation in a different way. Note that message documentation often contains translatewiki.net-specific templates, so it needs to be parsed on translatewiki.net, no matter where and how it’s shown. (And preferably stored in a way that backlinks show up on translatewiki.net.)
