On Kannada Wikipedia, the title of the front page is presently: "Wikipedia" This needs to be changed to "Kannada Wikipedia".
You have to do that change locally in the wiki.
Would you be able to help us out with specific instructions on how to do that? Thanks in advance.
The site name can be changed in the LocalSetting.php file at $wgSitename.
(In reply to comment #3) > The site name can be changed in the LocalSetting.php file at $wgSitename. It could, but that's not how any other project does it. It's always just Wikipedia (written with local script when appropriate).
Closing WONTFIX per Niklas last comment.
Re-opening this for now. As far as I understand this, it's a request to essentially change what {{SITENAME}} outputs on kn.wikipedia.org. On kn.wikipedia.org, currently {{SITENAME}} outputs "Wikipedia". This is wrong. On other sites such as ca.wikipedia.org, {{SITENAME}} is returned in localized form. As far as I understand, what this variable outputs is defined by $wgSitename, so this would be a shell request to change (or fix) the site name.
I think what it's supposed to say is "ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ". ("Wikipedia" in Kannada.) Hari, could you confirm that?
Casey, Yes, "ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ" is right. However, can we have it as "ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ" (Kannada Wikipedia) so that people searching for "ಕನ್ನಡ" (Kannada) can see the site listed on the search pages? MZMcBride, Many thanks for re-opening the issue!
Any update on this yet? Thanks,
Casey, yes you are right, it has to be "ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ". Any updates?
