MediaWiki:Aboutsite/ko


No reason for this to exist on en.wp. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:24, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment-These seem to exist for a great number of language codes...being in the MediaWiki namespace, I'd recommend against deleting it until we get some developer (or other tech-savy person) input on exactly what they do. --Fyre2387 (talk • contribs) 22:35, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I've made a note at the technical village pump asking for such input. --Fyre2387 (talk • contribs) 22:41, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Looks very much like a bunch of variables, stored for collection by scripts, during the page upload process. There are also MediaWiki:Aboutsite and MediaWiki:Aboutsite/fr etc. etc.
 * This sort of page exists as a hard storage of variable that the MediaWiki software uses to add custom terms and messages to pages in various places. They must not be deleted (I am very sure, but a second or third opinion is advised).  fredgandt  22:51, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The message MediaWiki:Aboutsite/fr does not exist locally (notice there is no "history" tab); what you see is a default MediaWiki value from translatewiki:MediaWiki:Aboutsite/fr. Also see Special:PrefixIndex/MediaWiki:Aboutsite. — AlexSm 23:03, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I've asked User:Anomie and User:Edokter to come and see. If anyone knows what's what, it's those two.  fredgandt  22:59, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Just like any other local message this one can be deleted if the default message translatewiki:MediaWiki:Aboutsite/ko which is  is good enough. — AlexSm 23:03, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


 * When a user sets ko as his/her language at Special:Preferences (under "Internationalisation"), this page provides the text of the link to About in the sidebar. Screenshot. Goodvac (talk) 23:03, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


 * See mw:Manual:Interface/Aboutsite. These pages are part of the software (basically).  fredgandt  23:06, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


 * This message overrides the default, see the original and replaced message here. It was initially created with a different title. I don't know why it was created, or why it was moved (see history). I do know it's pretty much useless here. Devs recommend that the default Aboutsite message use "About Wikipedia" instead of "About " to limit transclusions on every page view, but that should only be done for the site's default language. So delete, preferably speedy under G6. —  Edokter  ( talk ) — 00:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems to have been created based on Village pump (assistance)/Archive 1, and moved because it was created at the wrong name. Anomie⚔ 01:18, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * So it was created 4 years ago for one language... and one user? — Edokter  ( talk ) — 01:26, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems like it. Anomie⚔ 02:13, 6 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Better to be safe than sorry! Face-blush.svg  fredgandt</i>  01:16, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Please stop panicing. Worst that could happen is that a user that has the Korean language set will see "Wikipedia 소개" instead of "위키피디아 소개". — Edokter  ( talk ) — 01:26, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I stopped panicking as soon as you and Anomie showed up (no offence to anyone else, I've just got to know these two a little). I thought this page was like those [+] pages we (you) were dealing with the other day, and had visions of a lot of things going horribly wrong if the page suddenly disappeared. Like I say, "better to be safe than sorry".  f<i style="color:#0dd;font-size:10px;">red</i>g<i style="color:#0dd;font-size:10px;">andt</i>  01:50, 6 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete this is English Wikipedia. The message doesn't even tell you you're at the wrong Wikipedia, that this isn't ko.wiki ; if we don't have one for French, why should Korean exist? If Korean should exist, then we'll be creating a lot more soon, since there are more popular languages in the English world. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 08:25, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy G6. An obvious candidate. Enough said. — This, that, and the other (talk) 10:48, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Note there are [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Anomie/Sandbox6&oldid=470106847 46 other foreign-language messages] in existence as of a day or two ago. Anomie⚔ 17:21, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Some really don't make sense; MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning/de (and nl) contains text in English. What's the point of that? I'd say cleanup time. — Edokter  ( talk ) — 17:49, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
