IMO, this task should be resolved as there are many Indic languages unless the existing line height settings are reported as being problematic for a specific language like it was for Nepali T333938. From quick testing on a few Indic wikis ta, hi, te, mr line height seems fine. Also, with the current state of Vector, is this even a valid task? cc @Batorsz

The request in this task is largely about localizing messages in the project template (see Template:Project_template). After exploring a few project pages, I think that from a design perspective, it may not be a good idea to try to localize messages in the tool or translatewiki, as trying to fit a project description in a given format or set a word limit may not work for all projects. See, for example: Template:WikimediaMobile. Instead, how about having content translated into multiple languages, like for the welcome template: Template:Welcome/i18n.

Requested namespace translations in incubator here https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wp/kai#Namespace_translations.

Removing tag as it doesn't fall in scope

Done!

@Maryann-Onyinye See bullet point 3 here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors#_Before_the_program. Let's restrict access to users for this project pre-application period.

… or from InitialiseSettings.php's wmgExtraLanguageNames; since the problem with ak missing – as far as I can tell – is specific only to Wikidata, I would suggest adding it there.

Wikidata likely refers to updating labels and statements for Q-items on the wiki. Maybe also interlanguage links if those are still there.

SiteMatrix also lists closed wikis, so I don't see a problem with that. It would be different if those wikis were completely removed, which they have not been.

From a quick codesearch, it looks like the change might be required in the extension Collection.

@Ata I am trying to reproduce this error but unable to. On the provided link, I am seeing the translated message in Ukrainian in the text editor. Could you verify?

I agree, these should be consistent. I would use the name "Meetei" because it appears in Unicode documents (e.g. https://www.unicode.org/charts/ ) or the name "Manipuri" because it appears in CLDR. But I don't have a particularly strong opinion.

@bd808 If I got this right, addressing the request would require making a change in en.json. Filed it as a #good-first-task. Feel free to modify.

It looks like the changes made in the patch are now available in one of the recent releases. As per @Amire80, for namespace changes, extra deployment steps are required likely a shell script that need to be executed in production. @Ladsgroup says will help with this.

Looks like this task is done.

Looks like the issue has been fixed. Is there anything remaining in this task before it can be resolved?

Two items are remaining still in this task:

• move content in ak on Wikidata to tw or fat or delete it
• remove ak from mobile apps' configurations

@Nikerabbit I made a few more minor changes to the related patches based on your comment and review from @Winston_Sung.

I believe @santhosh is in touch with a Bengali community member about this task at Wikimania. He may have a follow-up thoughts to add here based on the discussion.

@nskaggs @komla Any thoughts on my previous comment?

This task was supposed to be part of the Developer-Advocacy team's efforts. The group no longer exists. If the need arises again to grow the list of projects at Wikimedia-Developer-Portal, the Tech-Docs-Team who owns the portal might be the right team to reach out to.
