MediaWiki:Tag-cross-wiki-upload

There is MediaWiki:Tag-cross-wiki-upload/en and I expect the content to appear at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Tag-cross-wiki-upload . But it doesn't. MediaWiki:Tag-cross-wiki-upload-description/en seems to have the same problem. (Although for the latter, Commons customizes it.)

It looks like they were removed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/WikimediaEvents/+/788259 but I'm not sure why. whym 10:53, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

@Whym: That's not the right diff to look at, that's just L10n-bot doing its job correctly. You should look at when the message was removed from the English file, which happened in gerrit:787116. Seems they thought it was unused. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 14:47, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the pointer. I submitted a patch to partially undo it. gerrit:1064150 whym 03:24, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Can someone here take a look at the link above? The patch concerns interface messages only, and ready to be reviewed. whym 09:06, 28 August 2024 (UTC) EDIT: This is now merged. whym 00:04, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

[zmi] Request to add new language: Negeri Sembilan Malay - 'Baso Nismilan'

The purpose of the request is to have Negeri Sembilan Malay interface in Wikimedia projects especially multilingual projects like Wikidata.

English name: Negeri Sembilan Malay
Native name: Baso Nismilan
ISO 639-3 code: zmi
Directionality: LTR
Script: Latin

~ Thank you - Zahirulnukman (talk) 15:11, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the request!

Other than Wikipedia, are there perhaps any other places where the name "Baso Nismilan" appears, such as a dictionary or another website? Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 02:45, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I couldn't find it academically. Nismilan is short form for Negeri Sembilan.

But, the Malaysian authority (National Archive of Malaysia) use "Bahaso Nogori" for this language in a formal and academic event, which appeared in this Instagram post. For informal way, many use "Loghat Nogori". So, maybe can use "Bahaso Nogori" instead. - Zahirulnukman (talk) 03:03, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

 Done This is now enabled. I recommend using the list called "Links for Negeri Sembilan Malay" on your user page to translate. Thank you and good luck! --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 13:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
