Hey,
Today we (editor engagement experiments team) started an A/B test of a new account registration page on English Wikipedia.
Is it a part of MediaWiki core or a completely local hack in en.wikipedia?
Is it possible to localize the messages there, like "Enter a desired username"?
For this iteration it's just JS magic tranforming the old form for English Wikipedia, in order to test the impact of the new design. Second iteration we'll add a new clientside form validation API.
When we get ready to merge anything to core, we'll take the time to do proper i18n/l10n, naturally.
