Status: Closed Resolution: Fixed

Priority: 9 Private: No Submitted By: Melancholie (melancholie) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Undo decodeEsperantoX removal (r5563)

Initial Comment: I do not know why siebrand had problems with decodeEsperantoX(), see http://eo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sunfloro&diff=1775705&oldi... - but now I do have that problem (not with interwiki.py, but with featured.py and replace.py)!

See http://eo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vitamino_C&diff=prev&oldid...

Characters are replaced to gxx, sxx etc., making templates unusable etc...

As decodeEsperantoX() had been used for a very long time, please undo that change: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/wikipedia.py?r...

I rolled back many changes. You can now run these calls again without problems:

python interwiki.py Arenta Urso -lang:eo

python interwiki.py Bordeaux -lang:eo

I am closing this for now. If there are any other Esperanto-related issues, please open new tracker items with precise descriptions on how to reproduce the problems.

We can NOT remove the Esperanto X convention functions. The X convention is still in use on Esperanto wikis.

See, for example: http://eo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bordeaux&action=edit Especially look at the interwiki links.

The current version is completely fucked up. Damn. It took so long to get the whole X convention stuff worked out, and then someone comes along and breaks it. :(

Seems partially fixed: 1. http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/families/wikip... 2. http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/families/wikip...

But yet see: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2030278&gro...

Maybe this was needed before 2004 when Wikimedia wiki didn't had UTF-8 as encoding!?

Do you know whether the example "Bordeauxx instead Bordeaux" that was mentioned does work, currently?

If yes, I would say we could remove all the remaining de/encodeEsperantoX() cruft, too. (description, *def* (function itself)).

encodeEsperantoX calls were removed in r5670.

I'm leaving this open, since I bet there was a reason for that X writing convention. Does removing it complety is problematic ?

The problem seems to be that decodeEsperantoX() has been removed, but encodeEsperantoX() remains.

So the encodeEsperantoX() parts currently produce 'xx'! Either revert the SVN change, or also ?remove? encodeEsperantoX().
