FYI mobile do this too in the top of thr page in the last modified bar. It would be good to standardise our approach here. Maybe we could propose something for core?
secWithin flow we display a number of humanized timestamps, such as '5 minutes ago' These are provided by MWTimestamp::getHumanTimestamp() in php and moment.js in javascript. We are adjusting this feature to have a few more messages, in english these would be:* 5 minutes ago* Edited 5 minutes ago* Edited by ErikB 5 minutes agoWe would like to represent the last two with i18n messages like:* Edited $1* Edited by $1 $2This is the exact same use case and solution that is already used in MobileFrontend:The alternative is to define a message for every possible timeframe from a moment agoup to N years ago(which is also much less robust than the builtin ago methods):* Edited a moment ago* Edited $1 {{PLURAL:$1|second|seconds}} ago* Edited $1 {{PLURAL:$1|minute|minutes}} ago...I'm writing to double check that this is reasonable and allowed by the i18n team.Erik B.
