Description Dan Jacobson 2009-07-01 00:05:19 UTC
On http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences
Sure one can pick
Language(介面語言): [zh-tw - 中文(台灣)]
But upon saving, it snaps back to "zh".
OK, set it to English, save, then set it to zh-tw. Seems to work, but
then when you reenter Preferences you'll see it has become zh again.

And if all that still works for you, then try setting both
Language:
Variant:
to zh-tw. When you click Save, you'll see they have snapped back to zh.
Browser used: Firefox, emacs-w3m, etc.

I get it, the most one can do is set
Language: zh-hant
Variant: zh-tw

OK, so you will probably change the above Product to MediaWiki, to rip out the now no longer valid choices so nobody
can click them by accident anymore.

But it so happens that I am also the owner of three $wgLanguageCode='zh-tw' wikis. What disaster will that spell for them?

Could this be a preferences bug? CCing Andrew.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2009-07-13 18:24:11 UTC
Assigning to Andrew as prefs bug.
Comment 3 Andrew Garrett 2009-07-16 16:54:05 UTC
(Batch change)

These bugs are, or are related to, my current priorities.
Comment 4 Andrew Garrett 2009-07-17 13:32:51 UTC
Seems to have been fixed by my attempt to fix an unrelated problem.

Could reproduce a few days ago, cannot now.
Comment 5 Dan Jacobson 2009-07-17 20:22:17 UTC
Well, today in Firefox I set both choices to zh-tw, hit save, and they snapped back to zh. Then I did it again, and they stayed put.
So almost WORKSFORME, but LATER somebody will not try a second time...
