Alfio Puglisi pravi:
I recently
noticed that Slovene common image descriptions have also
English text, eg.:
http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slika:Evo7glyph.png
Is this a bug or somebody's intention?
It's intentional, see
http://www.archivum.info/wikitech-l@wikimedia.org/2005-07/msg00023.html
Alfio, thank you for this link! But this feature is nonsense, it's
language imperialism! :-(
For example, I uploaded photograph Slovenska_lipa_srebrnik_averz.jpg in
order to use it on Slovene Wikipedia, while still making it possible for
others to use. Now why do I have to see English description on
http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slika:Slovenska_lipa_srebrnik_averz.jpg ?
IMHO the only situation this feature would be useful is if there was
*no* description in local wikipedia language - this way English
description would be better than nothing.
I'll report this as a bug of MediaWiki.
