Please rename namespace "Module" to Malayalam in Malayalam language wikis. Module = ഘടകം Module talk = ഘടകത്തിന്റെ_സംവാദം And also put these aliases: 'Module' and 'Module_talk' themselves and 'ഘ' (for Module) 'ഘസം' (for Module talk) as short aliases. Community notification: https://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/?oldid=1838664#Module_Namespace Wikis: ml.wiktionary.org ml.wikiquote.org ml.wikisource.org ml.wikibooks.org ml.wikipedia.org
The name of the "Module" namespace needs to be fixed in the Scribunto software itself, and that could take some time. The aliases can be added separately.

As for the aliases: * Module and Module talk will work by default, no need to do anything for them; * ഘ and ഘസം: you would need to seek community consensus for these aliases on each Malayalam wiki, as this is an issue for each community.

Thanks Siebrand for the quick service :) This is now a shellpolicy site request issue regarding the namespace alias.

Since some ml.wiki communities are significantly small, Malayalam Wikipedia and Wikimedia Malayalam mailing list generally act as the main discussion platforms. Though I didn't share this information through public mailing list, I shared this translation few weeks before, to Admin mailing list where Admins from all the projects share their ideas and got no objections. So If possible add these short aliases (ഘ -> Module, ഘസം -> Module talk) to all ml.wiki projects.
There are two methods of solving this request that I can think of: #1: Add the two aliases for each Malayalam project inside operations/mediawiki-config/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php (easy but laborious and inelegant); #2: Add the two aliases for all MediaWiki projects inside core/languages/messages/MessagesMl.php (easy and elegant, but requires vetting from Siebrand or Santhosh, since no languages at the moment use aliases for NS_MODULE or NS_MODULE_TALK). I'm not aware of any methods to add aliases inside the Scribunto extension itself at the moment, but if there is one, please let me know (and document it if possible). @Siebrand, @Santhosh: Do you guys see any reason not do #2? I'm really loath to add so many aliases into InitialiseSettings.php...

Thanks, Santhosh; will do.

Change 101889 had a related patch set uploaded by Odder: Add Malayalam aliases for NS_MODULE, NS_MODULE_TALK https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/101889
this one fixed?
(In reply to comment #23) > this one fixed? No. Odder's patch is still awaiting review. Bugs are only "fixed" once someone has reviewed the patch (Specificly someone with +2 rights). That said someone has already submitted a potential fix, so there's nothing that you can fix on this bug, as someone has already done that.
