2005/10/29, Timwi <timwi(a)gmx.net>et>:
I just asked today in the wikimedia-tech channel
to have the automatic
capitalisation turned off on the faroese Wiktionary.
*sigh* When are they finally going to turn off the capitalisation in
*all* Wiktionaries?
We would like to do it on et.wiktionary, but we have no idea, what
will we lose, if anything. Changing the flag is easy, but there are
some thousands of entries that need attention, categories, templates
that might break, etc.
Could someone explain the standard switchover procedure -- what are
the operations besides changing the flag? Or better, if there IS a
script/bot/whatever performing those operations, could you please send
it to me, so I can test it, and describe the results to local
community.
I tried to write some simple conversion scripts and test the
switchover on my own copy of the database, but I remember the results
being not entirely satisfactory. I'd be happy to find out that someone
has made a better job.
