Yes and no. It *used* to be all Javascript, which had the problems Niklas mentions. So I converted it to PHP, in the last few days we had before launch, relatively quickly. If I recall correctly Guillaume Paumier pointed out the issue with the dialects and I said we'd get back to it later. I was also uncertain what the performance effect would be of looking up multiple images via InstantCommons. I guess the mapping of a language to an available tutorial image needs to be cached. If there are some people who want to fix it themselves, the file you want to modify is this one: extensions/UploadWizard/UploadWizard.php And the method is: UploadWizardTutorial::getFile() I added a bug here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26342 -- Neil Kandalgaonkar |) <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-i18n mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-i18n
