Can someone explain what is the expected state here? As far as I can see translatewiki.net is fully sync what is in in the repos.

Makes perfect sense to me. Perhaps it can be done as part of the "Desktop Refresh" project.

Shouldn't it be like in Hebrew, where the same lexeme has a default spelling (probably the same as ja-jpan) and variants identified by Q numbers?

Thanks for the examples! OK to add it.

I might be wrong, but I think that Lexemes and monolingual values are distinct.

Yes, they are distinct. Lexeme languages don't include language codes for monolingual languages.

Oh, thank you so much for the link to the dictionary!

How distinct is it from lij with no qualifiers? Do they have different spelling rules? Are there cases where the same thing would have to be written in both lij and lij-mc?

MediaWiki GRAMMAR is simplistic, but I can try fixing this issue if it's broken. However, I'll need to see where exactly do you see broken display or a message that cannot be translated.

Thanks!

Can you give me an example of how modules can access the parameters of templates?

• Parameters passed to the template containing the {{#invoke:}} call

local pargs = frame:getParent().args

About parameter translation: modules have access to the parent frame, which they often take advantage of. This means that modules directly access the parameters defined when transcluding the template, that is, the parameter name is the same in the article and the module, with no template sitting in between and translating, so these parameter names need to be translated in order to avoid English parameter names popping up in articles.

The word "Basic" is not the main problem. The word "form" is the main problem. The user is not inserting a form, but a reference or a footnote. Therefore, replacing "form" with "reference" or "footnote" will make everything much clearer.

(We've discussed this briefly in the engineering meeting last week, this is the summary as I remember it:)

I think we've gotten ourselves marked as the owner of everything parser-related, including Scribunto, so that we could review any proposed changes to the syntax with regards to their compatibility with VisualEditor. And from that angle, it obviously looks okay, as modules are rarely used directly in articles anyway and can't be edited visually themselves.

Just to throw in another monkey-wrench: this may be an opportunity to revisit the core language underpinnings of Scribunto, to switch to a language which is *fully* localizable.

It's best to change only en.json :)

I'm really not sure that this pop-up is the best location for it. It is only shown once to people who didn't enable the beta feature.

• Content fit: Free software, related to Wikimedia, useful to Wikimedia editors.
• Quality of strings: I went over the whole en.json file, and the strings look OK to me. It works well on https://dibabel.toolforge.org/
• Commit access: can probably be given for direct automatic commits by @Yurik or @Iniquity.

@Amire80! You turned my scribblings into a pretty diagram! Thank you!

Reclassifying to the Translate extension. It's probably reported already, but I'll need @abi_'s help with finding the older task.

Cannot reproduce.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/595465 has to be merged, and then this task can be closed. It's pretty simple :)

Fantastic, thank you! :)

Is this a list of quietly hidden wikis?

Can you please give some examples of where it will be used, with actual text?

ULS already uses browser settings. For more details see:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector/Compact_Language_Links

In practice, I can only volunteer to check some things around and see if what we have on other sites can also be applied here, but I can't promise anything will actually be installed because it's not trivial.

No replies for a week, reassigning to Kartik.

No reports recently. I'll reopen if it's reported again.

Can't reproduce any longer. Works as expected.

Verified fix in production. Thanks!

I looked at https://wikimedia.github.io/wikipedia-preview/articles/hebrew.html

The Lien ("link") template is troublesome, too. It hasn't changed in three years, so either it has been troublesome for all this time, or something has changed recently in how Parsoid or CX handle this template.

There are 265 Wikipedias with over 1000 articles, 302 Wikipedias with over 10 articles. For fundraising messaging it has been a recurring community complaint that some see it as disingenious to say "You can read Wikipedia in over 300 languages" when many of those have basically no content.

Where exactly does it say it?

I'm pretty sure that by mid-2020, "over 300" is the correct thing, but I'm willing to be corrected.

(It's true that Wikipedias in dozens of these languages are not active, and I'm fine with omitting them from the count, but only if precise and consistent criteria for this are given.)

Hi @Amire80 - we figured this was safe wording to go with since "nearly 300 languages" appears in a few places on the foundation site, and other 'official' comms like the iOS App store description and the WIkimania 2020 about page:
