Please find below the notes for the internationalisation triage bug

triage held on Wednesday, September 14, 13:00UTC in #wikimedia-dev on Freenode IRC.

9 people participated in the triage. Two of the participants were new to MediaWiki. I'm very happy that the triage attracted new potential MediaWiki developers!

The triage was to have have two sections, each taking about 30 minutes. We ended up with a "first half" of about 55 minutes and a second half Of about 20 minutes.

Next week's triage is on WikiBooks http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Triage

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29170 -- [[MediaWiki:Enotif body]] needs GENDER support

* Some discussion, but nothing final.

== 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

* It looks like a schema change is not needed, and that the page_props table can and should be used. Use batches where needed; integrate that in Linker, LinkBatch and probably Title as well. Ambitious according to Roan. Roan agrees that having displaytitle as a page_ field makes more sense *conceptually*. In practice, he prefers page_props because that avoids a schema change and is still cheap. Niklas indicated the discussion gave him ideas on how to work towards resolving these issues.

The other announced issues were not discussed.

Thanks to everyone participating. Looking forward to the results!
