In the hopes that someone beyond English Wikibooks is reading this: I noticed that some system messages in the Collections extension were updated to say "book" instead of "collection" etc. I didn't realize how many system messages were affected until hejko notified me in IRC. I've changed the English ones back to "book" where it makes sense to do so - other language editions of Wikibooks will probably want to update the localizations at Betawiki and/or change their local messages. Thanks, -Mike ---- Mike.lifeguard mikelifeguard@fastmail.fm
Yes, there are people reading this beyond English Wikibooks. ;)
I also got a notice from He!ko and was surprised, too, how many messages there are. However, I changed about 30 messages at German Wikibooks. You changed only 19 messages at English Wikibooks. Did you miss some? You should have a look at [[Special:AllMessages]]. The messages of the collection extension are beginning with "coll-".
Kind regards

No, I deliberately left some. For example "Order this as a printed book" (or whatever the actual words are) makes sense, so I left it. Only where "book" is ambiguous or nonsensical did I change it back to collection. People should feel free to review my work of course though.

Update: There was another change[1] which introduced the message [[MediaWiki:Coll-bookscategory]], which broke the collection-loader link on wikis wich customized the system messages of this extension. You probably may want to change this message to "Collection" also. Stored collection pages now automatically include a [[Template:saved_book]] at their beginning. Therefore you might also want to change [[MediaWiki:Coll-savedbook_template]] and create the template (see an example[2]).
Thanks, Heiko
