Hi,
The new frontpage on https://www.mediawiki.org is live at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Main_page
I would be very thankful if someone could mark it for translation (which is still a mystery to me).
And once that has happened, it would be also great if you found some time to translate it, as it is a very visible page.
This new page uses the Translate extension, so the old subpages at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Main_page_templates will also welcome some cleanup at some point.
For some context, this email is a follow-up to https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/translators-l/2019-March/004799.html
Thanks in advance! andre
Hi all!
Note that Shirayuki has marked the page for translation some hours ago, so we can now start translating. =)

I must say I'm very impressed and happy how many translations there are already after a few hours on a weekend! Thanks everybody for your work!

Hi. Clicking on the MediaWiki logo links to the English/original version of the page, but the ‘Home’ link just below links to the localized version. Couldn’t the logo link be fixed?
Because of this it took time to me to find how to see the page in my language. Shouldn’t there be a <languages /> tag at the beginning of the page (more likely on the template)?
Sincerely,
Sylvain Chiron (Frigory)

The logo links to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki . If you want https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/MediaWiki you'd need to edit https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Mainpage I think.

It's at the bottom. (It was on the bottom in the previous version.) If you have strong reasons to change it, feel free to bring this up on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:MediaWiki/Homepage_improvements_2018
Thanks, andre

Yep. Could someone who has the necessary rights do it please?

OK… Well, to my mind it might not be clear enough, but I won’t take the responsibility to ask for another design. I’d say it would be cool however if changing the language at the top would also try to go to localized version of the current page.

That's already the case in MediaWiki.org because $wgTranslatePageTranslationULS is true. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Configuration#Configuration_variables
The problem is that [[Main page]] is not a translatable page, [[Template:Main page]] is. The easy solution is to move the template and avoid transclusion.

We could also make the main page translatable itself: the {{Main page|en}} transclusion would be translatable.
Or we could have a single ‘Main page’ page, with no subpages for translation, and use a code that includes the correct template e.g. {{Main page|{{CURRENTLANGUAGE}}}} or {{Special:MyLanguage/Template:Main page}}.
Please don’t be so poor when giving technical solutions — :).
