What: internationalisation triage bug triage When: Wednesday, September 14, 13:00UTC Time zone conversion: http://hexm.de/73 Where: #wikimedia-dev on freenode Use http://webchat.freenode.net/ if you don't have an IRC client
As Mark Hershberger is busy preparing the MediaWiki 1.18 release, Niklas and I spent time yesterday to prepare an i18n triage for Wednesday. The following bugs will be discussed. I would specifically call for any newbie developers to come to this triage because we have selected a bunch of relatively easy issues you may be able to help with to familiarize yourself with the MediaWiki localistion code and submit a patch for.
Please forward this e-mail to anyone who may be interested.
The triage will have two sections.
== Message documentation and message related coding ==
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16026 -- MediaWiki:Revision-info should accept wikimarkup
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16111 -- MediaWiki:Cascadeprotected and MediaWiki:Cascadedprotectedwarning should take the same parameters
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16175 -- Clean up the rendering of messages displayed at the top of the edit window
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17148 -- The warning about editing a semi-protected page can display an irrelevant edit summary
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17865 -- Mismatched input syntax for Cite error messages
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28557 -- Message documentation for Extension:AddMediaWizard needed
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25608 -- MediaWiki:Fundraiserstats-tab-ytd should not contain (USD)
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29357 -- CategoryTree should have built-in localizable support for pretty Categorytree-member-num

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29170 -- [[MediaWiki:Enotif body]] needs GENDER support
== Harder issues and discussion ==
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28428 -- Allow saving pages with LRM and RLM in titles, showing a warning and requiring a user right
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28411 -- titles of articles with LTR titles in RTL wikis may be displayed incorrectly in categories and special pages
Discusion: Should we implement proper i18n support for named message parameters? Niklas will introduce this topic.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30182 -- Untranslated gadget descriptions have incorrect directionality in RTL user languages
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30238 -- Create method to get directionality of message including the fallback tree
Discussion: Our i18n system loses language information in the process. Should this be resolved? Niklas will introduce this topic.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28021 -- Migrate translation projects at Meta to the Translate extension -- basically this issue is about getting the extension reviewed before it can be installed.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15308 -- Review Babel extension for deployment on Wikimedia Wikis
I hope to see many of you there!
Cheers!
