Summary: Equal message keys in different namespaces lead to
issues
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Translate
AssignedTo: niklas.laxst...@gmail.com
ReportedBy: siebr...@wikipedia.be
CC: siebr...@wikipedia.be
Equal message keys in different namespaces may lead to confusing results.
Multiple products are likely to have a key called "and". As for example
Translate/scripts/fuzzy.php is not able to take a namespace or group parameter,
it is unclear which "Namespace:And" to fuzzy. This will cause all "and" keys to
be fuzzied, which is not intended.
Can be circumvented with pywikipediabot, but that's not ideal.
Expected: when dealing with duplicate keys, software should give an error if it
is not clear which of multiple keys is meant. Scripts and pages dealing with
keys should allow (but not require if they key can be identified without)
specification of a namespace or group.
