This change is going to have a noticeable and annoying effect on all Wikipedias except for en, fr, de and zh where you adapted the language files. Are you still planning to "fix" all the other language files too?

Don't be so quick to criticise. JeLuF has made a useful start towards a long-standing and annoying problem. We still have plenty of time left to fix any problems before the current CVS HEAD goes live.

Whoa. Again, I didn't mean to criticise anyone. I apologise. I was only stating an observation and asking a question. People just read too much between my lines. :/
Of course we can postpone the going-live of CVS HEAD as much as we want, but in all honesty, who's going to fix those 150 language files? But then again, it is probably enough to have all the translators create the MediaWiki pages before it goes live, so... problem kind of solved. :)

That's wrong. The patches only affect the specified languages. Other languages work fine until the migration is completed.

Expect more to come, dates isn't the end of this story. But it's boring, stupid work so it takes some time.

Your patch changed the way month and weekday names are looked up, so it would have affected all Wikipedias where the code change would have gone live.

Yes, that's what I thought :) Thanks a lot for doing it!
