moving translations from hardcoded to user-configurable, not only for
English, but for all languages.
At the time I had written this, it was only for English, German, French
and Chinese. I was also under the false impression that the code would
go live relatively quickly, and I wasn't sure if you (or anyone) would
do the remaining languages. Given this, please accept my claim that I
was acting in good faith when warning users.
There have been complaints that certain
parts of the user interface are not maintainable (month names, user
preferences, etc) using the MediaWiki:-namespace.
You seem to think that I was somehow opposed to the change you made to
the code? What makes you think that?
I'm putting a high effort into not breaking things
in this process, e.g.
moving all existing translations etc. Currently having 52 languages, this
will take some time.
Thanks for doing it. I appreciate it.
Be assured that the goal of the MediaWiki developers
is not to break things.
Be similarly assured that the goal of my message was not to "frighten
users". :-p
