Hallo! With the fix for Bug 4278: Changes on tabs for namespaces 100 and 101 MediaWiki supports 'MediaWiki:Nstab-foo' for custom namespaces. [[sr:MediaWiki:Nstab-Портал]] is such a message used for ns:100 see [[sr:template:wikivar]]. However according to Bug 3993: Enabling variants (ekavian/iyekavian and Cyrillic/Latin) for Serbian language [[sr:]] will come in more language / script variants. Compare http://scg.vikimedija.org/index.php/template:wikivar It might cause some problems having four different MediaWiki messages for an object which could be 'MediaWiki:Nstab-100' and "translate" the same way as all other MediaWiki messages. This request will / may brake existing code. The number of custom namespaces at Wikimedia Foundation projects is low. The 'MediaWiki:Nstab-nnnn' can be created before this change goes live. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
When opening this request I had also another idea in mind: "portability of code" and "maintainability" would be much more easy if internationalization for as many as possible features would happen at the same 'title'. This request is (also) about to use one 'MediaWiki:Nstab-100' instead of variants as [[ar:MediaWiki:Nstab-بوابة]] [[en:MediaWiki:Nstab-portal]] [[eo:MediaWiki:Nstab-portalo]] [[he:MediaWiki:Nstab-פורטל]] [[it:MediaWiki:Nstab-portale]] [[sr:MediaWiki:Nstab-Портал]] etc. Please REOPEN this bug if you support the idea. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
