===System messages to use === Instead of creating new system messages, these already exist on MEpedia and could be useful *[[MediaWiki:Toc]] instead of Contents *[[MediaWiki:aboutsite]] - it already contains this - About {{SITENAME}} *[[MediaWiki:Popularpages]] - Popular pages *[[MediaWiki:Externalguidance-specialpage-contribute-title]] - already exists, could be used for Become an editor headings even though the wording is different *[[MediaWiki:Qbbrowse]] - can be used for Browse *[[mediawiki:Noarticletext]] - already in use but needs customizing - find a string to replace? Just add a simple link at the end to go to the Article outlines? Despite the fact the pages come up as red links all these already exist as system messages. I haven't checked if these have translations, and I don't know which system message contains the disclaimer about medical advice or the heading message we customize. With the heading message, we can keep it in English so it's always up to update. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 17:44, August 15, 2019 (EDT) :Great finds! Let's definitely use these! However, I can't find [[MediaWiki:Externalguidance-specialpage-contribute-title]]. Where did you see this one? I saw [[MediaWiki:Qbbrowse]] before, but it's magically disappeared now! Oh well, we can import those two from MediaWiki if we have to. As for the other customized interface messages, I will add them to the table in [[MEpedia:User interface translation]]. :[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 22:57, August 15, 2019 (EDT) ::Both are on Commons - [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AllMessages?prefix=Externalguidance-specialpage-contribute-title&filter=all&lang=en&limit=50 Externalguidance-specialpage-contribute-title] [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AllMessages?prefix=Qbbrowse&filter=all&lang=en&limit=50 qbbrowse] ::Some system messages can't be exported with [[Special:Export]] because they come from extra language files added by particular extensions. The translations for those either need to be found by searching then adding one by one, or by finding the extension source code - but normally they are in over a dozen separate files eg en.json, de.json - I don't know an easy way to import from json either. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 15:05, August 23, 2019 (EDT) :::Yeah, I noticed that too! Fortunately, the extension developers typically use translatewiki.net to create those .json files, so you may be able to export the messages from translatewiki.net. What I did for the sidebar translations was to first create an XML file by exporting from translatewiki.net, and then I did a find-and-replace to change the extension message names to our own message names: “qbbrowse” becomes “browse”, “Externalguidance-specialpage-contribute-title” becomes “become_an_editor”, etc. This way, if the extension developer later changes the message, it won’t affect us. :::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 18:20, August 28, 2019 (EDT) ====Re: System messages to use -- ~~~~==== :: Replace this text with your reply
