notwithstanding MediaWiki, there are other things which individual
language users may wish to customise, such as magic words, words for
"left" "right" "centre" "thumb" etc. for the
image syntax, namespace
names, etc., which are among the things I've been trying to update on
cy. There is still a need for user communities to be able to attract the
attention of developers.
I have to agree. There's also a request for the Minnan language file to
be uploaded (for the first time, so this is more than a correction of
spelling or some other small refinement). I understand well-established
Wikipedias are generally past the point of needing to upload these
files. And I understand developers have much more interesting ideas to
work on (say, making the hardcoded messages customizable in MediaWiki
namespace?) than doing this scut work. But something needs to be done
so that localization efforts on smaller Wikipedias can climb out this
apparent limbo.
Having said that, I appreciate and really look forward to, having more
strings accessible via the namespace.
