Problem[edit]

There is a problem with editing translatable pages on Meta, which means I currently can't save any edits to this page. Hoping this is solved during the day tomorrow. See phab:T278429. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 19:29, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Meta has been rolled back to a previous version of MediaWiki, so this has been addressed now. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 22:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
I'd like to apologise about the number of typos this week. I was pretty tired by the time I could actually start working on the issue. Thanks everyone who helped fixing them or pointing them out to me. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 15:31, 26 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Browsers list[edit]

Hi. Can we have the affected browsers versions list? By the way, the link "don't work" is broken. IKhitron (talk) 22:29, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

IKhitron: Sorry, typo on my part. Fixed now. I'm not sure there is a list of the affected browser versions, but the browsers listed in phab:T266866 are likely among them. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 22:34, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. So, maybe somebody should create such a list. IKhitron (talk) 22:36, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
@IKhitron: Creating an exhaustive list of all affected browsers is impossible—there are simply too many browsers out there. The list in the Phabricator task is (I think) exhaustive in regard to the browsers support will be dropped for—other browsers are not supported at all, that is, there’s no guarantee that things will work in them. (Internet Explorer 9+ is supported, but, as explicitly noted in the ticket, it will be unaffected by this change.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 17:28, 27 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. A pity. The list in phabricator has the minimal versions to work, so it includes both affected versions and vesrions that did not work before this change. IKhitron (talk) 17:31, 27 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Johan (WMF): The variable is called "compability", this should either be fixed or the translations should be checked before sending the newsletter out to make sure no translator has fixed that spelling error. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 00:45, 28 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I noticed, but people had already started translating, so I didn't want to fix the typo and make their work undone. I always check the translations before sending them out. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 09:51, 28 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
