Subject: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Language converter in external links change (affects languages: zh, uz, tg, sr, shi, ku, kk, iu and gan)
To:
wikitech-ambassadors@lists.wikimedia.orgHi everyone.
Later today, I intend to make a change to the language converter
system. The language converter system is used in a couple languages,
most notably zh and sr, to interpret -{ in wikisyntax. Previously, -{
}- syntax would work inside external links. Now you must put it
outside external links.
For example, previously you could do:
[http://-{zh-cn:
foo.com; zh-hk:
bar.com; zh-tw:
baz.com}- mylink]
now you must do:
-{zh-cn: [
http://foo.com mylink] ; zh-hk: [
http://bar.com mylink] ;
zh-tw:[
http://baz.com my link] }-
I'm hopeful this change will not be too disruptive. If you encounter
any new weird behaviour with language converter please let me know.

p.s. List of probably affected pages:
*
http://tools.wmflabs.org/bawolff/langconv/sr.txt
*
http://tools.wmflabs.org/bawolff/langconv/zh.txt
*
http://tools.wmflabs.org/bawolff/langconv/zhwiktionary.txt
I don't believe anything outside of serbian wikipedia, chinese
wikipedia, and chinese wiktionary will be affected.
