Description

This is a tag for tasks that set major long-term goals for developing how Wikimedia projects function in various languages, or for tasks that are important blockers on the way to achieving these major goals. It exists to organize the language strategist's work better, and to provide transparency for people who are interested in this work. As of late 2018, it is primarily curated by @Amire80.

Unlike I18n, which is a tag for all kinds of internationalization tasks, of which there are more than a 1000, this tag is planned for relatively limited use—probably several dozens of tasks.

The initial list of members was copied from Language-Team. If you are not interested in this tag, feel free to remove yourself, and if you are interested, please add yourself.

Awesome_Aasim added a comment to T121470: Central Global Repository for Templates, Lua modules, and Gadgets.

I wonder if we can actually start somewhere like with Fandom's Dev Wiki. Almost the entire contents of that wiki should be compatible with Wikimedia's content license. If we can build a template and module repository that Wikimedia (and other projects) can use, then we can open the door to global templates. It would allow for templates ported to be deletable unless if they are highly used on a project.

Jdlrobson added a comment to T238386: Structured localization framework for gadgets.

I was surprised to learn this wasn't implemented. Agree this would be beneficial - would reduce a lot of cargo-cult programming copy/pasting across projects if localizing a gadget was simply a case of loading a gadget from a foreign wiki alongside a localization module local to that wiki.
