Commons:Help page maintenance/Wikimedia Commons interface


English: See and update the Latest Status for All Languages at English Commons:Help page maintenance/Wikimedia Commons interface. You may create your language page (translated page) for referance, but in that case, please be sure to update the English Master page. Otherwise, please make the direct link to this English page for the easy way.

The interface of Wikimedia Commons (and all other MediaWiki-installations) gets customized via single pages in the MediaWiki-namespace. So this page sums up all pages in the MediaWiki namespace that need constantly maintenance. Although pages in the MediaWiki-namespace can be edited only by Administrators you are more than welcome to write your suggestions on the talk pages of these pages or here.

Keep the syntax and in any case the spirit of the english text string. Use only the $1 variable for the GFDL nothing else. This is utterly important.

MediaWiki:Edittools edit

Existing languages edit

See all pages with MediaWiki:Edittools/ISO-CODE.

Tasks edit

English pages has been removed redundant information which no is in MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning. Fixed several wiki code problems. So all translations should remove the redundant copyright warning info as well after translation of MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning.

The page has been completely replaced by a new drop down menu selection for different language charsets with MediaWiki:Edittools.js.

Do not translate MediaWiki:Edittools. It will render support of the special character menu for your language very likely unmaintainable.

Investigate how to translate the label names for each language and the tooltip without the need to have a lot of copies of MediaWiki:Edittools.

Done. Sanbec 00:34, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Content has been merged from Commons:Searching directly into the search mask that is displayed at Special:Search. So all content from translated Commons:Searching pages need to be adapted and merged there in sub pages of MediaWiki:Searchresulttext.

The current pages of the old Commons:Searching are: Alemannisch | беларуская (тарашкевіца) | català | English | español | français | Nederlands | português | svenska +/−
