secWithin flow we display a number of humanized timestamps, such as '5 minutes ago' These are provided by MWTimestamp::getHumanTimestamp() in php and moment.js in javascript. We are adjusting this feature to have a few more messages, in english these would be:
* 5 minutes ago * Edited 5 minutes ago * Edited by ErikB 5 minutes ago We would like to represent the last two with i18n messages like: * Edited $1 * Edited by $1 $2 This is the exact same use case and solution that is already used in MobileFrontend: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Mobile-frontend-watchlist-modified The alternative is to define a message for every possible timeframe from a moment ago up to N years ago(which is also much less robust than the builtin ago methods): * Edited a moment ago * Edited $1 {{PLURAL:$1|second|seconds}} ago * Edited $1 {{PLURAL:$1|minute|minutes}} ago ... I'm writing to double check that this is reasonable and allowed by the i18n team. Erik B.
