Bugs, Repairs, and Internal Operational News

New features

Various interface messages that by default used to contain links such as " Project:Policy" no longer do, and instead use variables from the content language (such as MediaWiki:policy-url). The difference is that if, for instance, an administrator on the English Wikipedia used Bulgarian as his interface language, the Bulgarian version of MediaWiki:Confirmdeletetext would be used, pointing him to the nonexistent page Project:Линия на поведение for information about project deletion policy. Now it uses MediaWiki:policy-url, which is always from the content language and so will point to Project:Policy (or whatever it's changed to) for any interface language on an English-content site. Also, links of dubious utility to non-Wikipedia projects (such as " IP address") have been unlinked for the default interface text. The changes have been completed for English and all supported languages whose ISO 639 code begins with A, B, or C. ( Daniel Arnold, T10846, r19724 et al.)

On image pages, the link to upload a new image no longer shows the "external link" arrow. ( Raimond Spekking, r19856)

Fixed bugs

An error that would cause whitespace to vanish under certain circumstances for some languages was fixed. ( Brion Vibber, T10897, r19802)

Internationalization

Some updates were made to non-English messages, specifically:

Internationalization help is always appreciated! See m:Localization statistics for how complete the translations of languages you know are, and post any updates to Mediazilla.
