Sanskrit Wikipedia is not having transliteration tool as in most other Indian languages. Since the script is Devanagari, the same code used in Hindi wiki can be reused. Can anybody please enable it?
hello harish,
It is easy now to add the narayam typing tool for devanagari by filing a bug/request in Bugzilla - https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/
But first initiate a discussion in sanskrit wikipedia and obtain community consensus. You will need to show that the community wants the installation of the tool, while filing the request.

There is a transliteration tool on sa wiki, if you have problems regarding it, you are most welcome to get the help on the village pump. :)

Infact Sanskrit was one of the early communities to adopt Narayam (before Tamil). Please see the below screenshots for Tamil, you similarly have "Input Method" dropdown at top of page near Username / Login link. Please hover over it, you would get a dropdown to choose the transliteration option. (Control-M) is the keyboard shortcut to turn it off / on.
Gerard / Santhosh / Junaid / Shiju,
Should we run site notices with these screenshots on these communities to increase awareness. Tamil wiki projects have a link to typing help on sitenotice and that page contains relevant help. I think it would be better if you ask bug filers to make sure they run sitenotices on wiki post enabling Narayam to spread awareness.

The sitenotice is already live on Sanskrit Wikipedia (it is written in Sanskrit, and it reads: How to type Unicode Devanagari). But it doesn't contain screenshots or anything of that sort, just basic help.

As Srikanth mentioned, Sanskrit wiki projects (http://sa.wikipedia.org) is one of the first Indic language wiki (along with tamil and Malayalam) to implement the integrated typing tool. So the feature Harish asked is already there in Sanskrit wiki projects.

I assume it is a good idea to run site notices. But before that we need to implement the tool (Narayam) in most Indic language wikis. As of now it is implemented only in Tamil, Malayalam, and Sanskrit. And the Assamese wiki community is in talk with developers to implement Narayam in Assamese wiki. For all other Indic languages (Odia, Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, Bengali, Telugu, Gujarati, Pujnabi....) the tool need to be implemented. Some of the above communities are using the old tool developed by Junaid, but that need to be replaced. And for that support from respective community is most required. For languages like Punjabi the community need to help developers to develop transliteration scheme itself. For the rest of the languages the current tool need to be upgraded to Narayam.
We shall run site notices once we finish few more languages. Or we shall run site notices in those wikis where tool is already implemented, may be after the wiki conference (we have so many site notices these days :) )
Please write to me off-list at shiju@wikimedia.org, if any language communities need assitance regarding this.

Thank you guys! I didn't recognize that it is implemented, since there is no visual representation to indicate it :-)
