Change Details

Hi. For 14 years now (since ro.wikipedia.org had been created on June 19 2003), the sorting of article is categories has been not following Romanian alphabet order. Romanian alphabet has five additional letters to English (ăâîșț with their respective capital ĂÂÎȘȚ) all of which are extensively used in words. The default Unicode sorting sends these letters after letter Z in an alphabetical list. To mitigate this, we use to manipulate DEFAULTSORT for titles including Romanian diacritics. [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T162823 | Inspired by the Bashkir Wikimedians ]], the community of Romanian Wikipedia [[ https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cafenea#Sortare_implicit.C4.83_pentru_litere_cu_diacritice_rom.C3.A2ne.C8.99ti | has decided ]] that we need to have the default alphabetical sorting changed to the Romanian alphabet, which is as follows: ``` AĂÂBCDEFGHIÎJKLMNOPQRSȘTȚUVWXYZ aăâbcdefghiîjklmnopqrsștțuvwxyz ``` Note: The order [[ https://ro.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACommon.js&type=revision&diff=11193393&oldid=11149461 | has been fixed ]] locally on ro.wikipedia.org in table sorting only by using an oldschool workaround. Note2: This request applies for the rest of Romanian wiki-projects, including ro.wiktionary.org
