MediaWiki talk:Search-interwiki-custom

Wikivoyage It's live in beta as a WMF project. The interwiki code is. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:56, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I've added it. Can you tell me where this message is actually used, so I can check it's displaying properly? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:04, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * No clue Wikivoyage also needs to be added to the sister projects interface, but I can't figure out where in the MediaWiki namespace that is... —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:43, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Suggested change related to new sister search results
Howdy,

With the recent addition of sister search results I'd like to suggest a possible change to this interface message to help with consistency. When you search for a phrase, like say "Rosebud" you will see results from other projects (on the right when viewing on desktop). Currently the results from Wikisource and Wikibooks say "From Wikisource" and "In Wikibooks". I think it makes sense for Wikibooks, Wikisource, and Wikivoyage to use a description similar to Wikiquote and Wiktionary (which are a little more descriptive). Perhaps something like "Textbooks from Wikibooks", "Texts from Wikisource", "Travel guides from Wikivoyage"? Since this is a very low traffic page, pining a few folks active here. Thank you for the consideration. CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 20:07, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Please remove
Hi; the current message has a couple of  (spaces) before the text. I would assume this was added because the original design of the interwiki search widgets was very condensed and thus some more spacing was added this way.

The layout has now changed a bit & there now already is more spacing between the icon and this text; with this additional space, we actually end up with too much whitespace.

Can these  (spaces) be removed from the current message? It would improve the look of titles in the interwiki search widget!

More context can be found here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T320579

Thanks! -- Mmullie (WMF) (talk) 09:50, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Spacing between icon and sister project header
Hello all, this is a request for help regarding the sister project headers on your project. We are about to roll out a minor update to this part of Special:Search, and noted that MediaWiki:Search-interwiki-custom has a couple of  (spaces) before the text.

Since our new change in the layout is going to fix this, can you please remove those hard-coded spaces? Let me know if you need more info about this.

Thanks in advance! Sannita (WMF) (talk) 09:50, 25 October 2022 (UTC)


 * here is an example search result - does the change no longer require this message to be localized at all, or just trim the spaces? — xaosflux  Talk 09:58, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * same question. — xaosflux  Talk 10:00, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Xaosflux Just trim the spaces, they're not needed any more. Sannita (WMF) (talk) 16:33, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
