I've had a request for an update to LanguageCy.php for over two weeks now, because we've got a mis-spelling in the name for "July".
Hi Arwel,
the problem with the LanguageXX.php pages on meta is that they are maintained by people who act in good faith, but are not involved in the development processes. LanguageCy.php for example is based on revision 1.12. That is a revision from the current "development" branch, not from the "stable" branch wikipedia.org is based on. If I apply that
I imagine that Arwel would be happy to provide a file based on the current wikipedia.org branch, if it were easy to figure out what branch that was... it looks as though she has been regularly uploading new revisions to the file as new branches come out. Where can that information be found? This is not the first time I have wished that Special:Version provided more detailed information.
What is the correct current process for updating messages not currently customizable by Mediawiki? If for some reason [1] the four-month backlog on [[Requests for languageXX.php update]] is intentional, there are 15 people who have filed requests who should be informed of that (and I would be glad to inform them... but should be able to tell them the answer to the above question first).
