[Foundation-l] Renaming "Flagged Protections"

Mon May 24 15:20:17 UTC 2010

Hoi,
Flagged Revisions is a MediaWiki extension that is used by many people on
the English Wikipedia. Not everyone uses the English language user
interface. Consequently when you decide to change them locally, all those
people will not understand what is going on.

Localisations are done at translatewiki.net. When the messages are altered
on the Wiki itself, all the localisations that have been created will be not
only non functional, they will be wrong. Have your discussion about
terminology but have this discussion translate in changes in the software
not in changes in the local message file.
Thanks,
       GerardM
