Description seth 2009-02-26 01:28:44 UTC 
If one uses many wikis it would be great, if the url would not be automatically translated/localized, e.g., if I use "special:contributions" at de-wiki it will be translated to "Spezial:Beiträge". If I want to check the contribs of the same user at ru-wiki it won't help, if I just change s/de/ru/. I will have to rewrite "special:contributions".

Another example is "user" and "user talk" which is translated automatically. And there are many more examples. It would be great, if one could switch off that automatic translations and localizations.

The tip applies: user your clipboard. I'm pretty sure we are not making user preference for this.
