Summary: Output a canonical form to IRC RC feed (never
localized!)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.15-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: RecentChanges
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Currently our IRC RC feeds output localized log names and the like, making the
development of new monitoring tools a /huge/ pain. If one wishes to monitor the
feed for one language, fine... but if you want to monitor many then you need to
know the localizations for each language and treat them as the same thing
within your code. This is needlessly onerous and could easily be fixed by
outputting a canonical form. Instead of "Spezial:Log/review" use
"Special:Log/review"; instead of "Spécial:Log/upload" use "Special:Log/upload"
etc.
As well, user group names are outputted localized.
Finally, and most importantly: even on the same wiki, messages for an action
can change by localization:
[[Special:Log/globalauth]] setstatus [...] Set Bloqueado; Unset (ninguno):
That should never appear - Meta is set to English localization, so should
output that! I think this is because the user in question uses Spanish
interface.
