An input box that makes inputmethod default, can be added to concrned sandbox page and help/support pages wherever as admin I want to add. I have addressed to you in another bug too,burgoining problem on my mind is "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 we need to accept the fact that on the ground 60% that is the majority still does not understand where the entry is from. *'''methods are not very important but solutions are!''';alternatively you provide any solution that all Marathi new users on Marathi wikipedia start writing in Marathi.Any solution that serves the purpose is acceptable to me. You may feel I am talking only about problems or language Marathi wikipedia, I am not admin on all other language wikis other wise I would have placed edit filters on all of them and provided with you more figures to support my hypothesis. Still for one more example I suggest you to visit hindi language wikipedia edit filter [http://hi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B7:%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%AA%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%97_%E0%A4%B2%E0%A5%89%E0%A4%97&wpSearchFilter=59 that stops creation of non-hindi article names] Filters can stop users writing in other language and or roman script that any way we are doing at local level.But we are looking forward to more holistic solutions that will help and accomodate provide access more prudently to users who fail in getting basic language input tools -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
