[Bug 3615] blocks of code not handling magic character conversions in Esperanto correcty (as reason for page deletion etc.)

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3615 --- Comment #14 from Brion Vibber br...@wikimedia.org 2011-04-06 01:36:18 UTC --- I've implemented input method rules for Esperanto in the Narayam input method extension in r85504. This relies on JavaScript-capable browsers that work with modern UTF-8 and have working fonts -- usually now a good assumption, whereas it wasn't in 2002 :) -- but if all goes well, we should be able to dump the old internal conversions and use this instead. The client-side input method handles *all* text input fields, and doesn't rely on server-side processing remembering what type of field it's dealing with. Yay!

This should then be supported only within a gadget for the page editor, or a more general gadget for use in various forms (like the Search form). The conversion should be explicitly requested, otherwise nothing should be done automagically as this breaks too often. This also means that the esperanto messages (in the MadiaWiki: namespace) need to be created on TranslateWiki with the correct characters (you may ask to TranslateWiki to add a gadget for esperantists that can't type the circumflexes on their keyboard, but I really suggest that the esperanto wiki documents how to create or install a keyboard layout to support the circumflex diacritic directly (because this is really easy in Windows and Linux; I don't know if this is possible as easily on MacOSX, but I suppose that tools similar to MSKLC for Windows also exist on MacOSX). If there remains incorrect links using extra x characters or where characters where converted to esperanto that should not have been converted on EO:WP, this has to be fixed within the articles. But the magic conversion after pressing the Publish button is really a bad thing with unsolvable problems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
