What do you mean by "incompatible"? The way this message is used has changed, but it's not incompatible at an API level (those extensions may or may not have to adapt to the new meaning). My initial change adding "welcomecreation-agora" was approved and is in wmf5, my revision where I changed the name to "welcomecreation-msg" is not. It's OK, not ideal. Thanks for your advice and insight. _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-i18n mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-i18n
