--- Comment #9 from Mahitgar <mahit...@yahoo.co.in> --- Continuation to comment #8 5)For example please do have a look at new user account creation log link [http://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/विशेष:नोंद/newusers?setlang=en] on Marathi Wikipedia.From 7th Augsy 2013 to 16 August; there are aprox 250 new account creations; out of that roughly 110 are locally created on Marathi Wikipedia and the rest are created on rest of wikimedia wikis (read en wikipedia).Out of rest of new 140 users visiting Marathi Wikipedia rough counting of their user names suggest only 20 are non Marathi names.So the aprox ratio of visitors knowing marathi to non Marathi is 120:20 :So that is why I questioned the premises of your assumed large number of users. 6) So with this bug I wish to make UI user friendly to this 20 i.e 15% minority visitors and the rest also by allowing them to retain their language of choice for the display while visiting an unknown language wiki 7) And at the same time I wish to serve the majority 120 i.e.85 % who know my language better by giving them a choice to visit along with dispaly and input enabled while visiting itself, so after visiting I need not search and click any additional buttons to enable content language and I can begin editing immidiately. 8) Current status of ULS is like a technological marval like a most famous wonders of world which I can not enter or exit unless I know them.These current ULS icons of wheel and typing keyboard (in its smallest size it does not look like a typing keyboard icon but more of like a suitcase) are usefull for those who know that those are there and additionally call for extra thought (not-intutive) extra eye movemnt and axtra clicks 9) I have already presented figures at ULS talk page that 60% first time editors of Marathi Wikipedia users still find it defficult and fail to understand where exactly they need to enable Marathi language typing.Certainly ULS is a great technical wonder but I need to accept the fact that on the ground 60% that is the majority still does not understand where the entry is from. 10) Now again question may come what wiki data or VE has to do with that the answer is what laft hand has to do with right hand , a co-ordinated work. 11) Some of these things are related to user behaviour and I know will take time to realise .May be things like wikimedia academy and such things will happen and reports will slowly penitrate and if not this you will come up with some other solution. 12) Methods are not important soltions are ! and I trust on you developer team that you are capable of them to solve and will come up with apropriate solutions by solving this or that bug -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
