New subject: Support of non-arabic page number in page namespace

7 Sep 2012

Hi,
For people that doesn't know me, I contribute to the French Wikisource and I try to
improve the Proofread Page extension.

Here is a description of some modification into Proofread Page that will be deployed
sooner, I think next week.

1 I have made a patch in order to add support of not-arabic page number in the
"page" namespace for languages that doesn't use arabic numerals: new pages
of multi-pages books will now have a name with number in their own language. Existing
pages can keep their names with arabic  numerals or be renamed by hand or with a bot in
order to use not-arabic numbers.
The pagelist tag will links to pages with a localized number but, if the localized page
doesn't exist and a page with an arabic number exist, pagelist will link to this page.
The pages tag and the navigation inside of the page namespace will use the same system.
So, with this system, nothing, I hope, will be broken in wikis.

2 I have added support of wiki links to proofreadpage_page_status message.

3 I have written a change that create prp-pagequality-[1-4] HTML classes and add them to
all links to Page namespace. These classes are done in order to allow people to color all
links to page namespace. The old quality[1-4] classes can of course be ever used in order
to color these links only inside of Index namespace.

So I hope that these improvments will increase ProofreadPage quality.
Sorry for my poor English,
