Is their a way to change the logo link dependent on your chosen language

Edit MediaWiki:mainpage-url. If the target is a translatable page, you can use Special:MyLanguage link to redirect to the interface language if available. Nikerabbit (talk) 13:43, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

No Japanese or Korean input methods?

Seems especially weird considering there's input methods for just about every language and script on the planet, but none for two of the most commonly spoken languages in Asia… am I missing something, here? When selecting an input method, "Asia" there's about a hundred languages, including Chinese, but no Japanese and no Korean.

Seems like a huge problem to me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Gorman (talk) 06:03, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

A volunteer has actually started working on support for Korean recently, and it may be deployed soon. However, the Korean script is actually quite simple and a keyboard for it is relatively easy to implement.

Japanese, in contrast, is very complicated. In theory, it can be done, but it will require very complex mapping between syllables and more than a thousand characters. Because of the complexity, the loading time can be prohibitive, too.

Chinese indeed has an input method in Universal Language Selector, but it only outputs Pinyin, which is a relatively simple Latin-based transcription system. A full-fledged input method for Chinese characters would be a bit similar to Japanese, but even harder, so it's unlikely to be implemented here.

Luckily, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese don't actually need special support, because they have been well-supported in all major desktop and mobile operating systems for more than twenty years, and the people who write in them know how to enable and use these keyboards.

The keyboards in Universal Language Selector are mostly targeted at people whose languages are either not supported in operating systems at all (this is true for many languages of Africa), or languages that are supported, but aren't actually used very much by the public for various reasons (languages of India).

ULS and Interwiki links

Hello,

I use MW 1.39.3 at my wiki family. I have interwiki links and don't need ULS so far. But interwiki links do not work without the extension at Vector-2022. How can I disable ULS but have my interwiki links? Fokebox (talk) 11:00, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

This question would be more appropriate to developers of the Vector skin. Nikerabbit (talk) 11:14, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll try to make a request them. Fokebox (talk) 13:31, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

The issue has been resolved with new MW 1.40.0 Fokebox (talk) 07:32, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

@import on by default?

I want to add a basic font, using common.css for English readers - unfortunately, @import has been disabled. There is clearly a perfectly rational reason for it to be disabled by default, turning it back on is probably obvious, in some clearly defined settings file. However, I just want to use a web-font, this seems to be the simplest way to do it.

Please educate me on the reason why it is turned off by default, and how to turn it back on. 112.213.47.87 (talk) 09:36, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

If you want to change a font for everyone, the Universal Language Selector extension is not the best way to do it. You can use normal CSS in MediaWiki:Common.css, or maybe there are other extensions to do the same. Nikerabbit (talk) 13:04, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

@import has been disabled in MediaWiki:Common.css. I don't know why. It doesn't matter, I will manually install a font, however annoying, or use an extension of some kind. But again, hoops where the simplest command, could have prevented hours of toil. 112.213.47.87 (talk) 03:39, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
