CC skin navigation bar

Hi! Why in CC skin recentchanges item (in the top navigation bar) is implemented not as the rest of the menu items? See HTML code examle (for Russian language, grabbed from MediaWiki:Sidebar page):

<ul id="t-toolbox">
 <li id="t-whatlinkshere"><a href="/Special:WhatLinksHere/MediaWiki:Sidebar" title="Список всех страниц, которые ссылаются на эту страницу [j]" accesskey="j">Ссылки сюда</a></li>
 <li id="t-recentchangeslinked"><a href="/Special:RecentChangesLinked/MediaWiki:Sidebar" title="Последние изменения в страницах, на которые ссылается эта страница [k]" accesskey="k">Связанные правки</a></li>
 <li><a href="http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Special:Recentchanges">Recent Changes</a></li>
 <li id="t-upload"><a href="/Special:Upload" title="Загрузить изображения или мультимедиа-файлы [u]" accesskey="u">Загрузить файл</a></li>
 <li id="t-specialpages"><a href="/Special:SpecialPages" title="Список служебных страниц [q]" accesskey="q">Спецстраницы</a></li>
 <li id="t-print"><a href="/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&printable=yes" title="Версия для печати этой страницы [p]" accesskey="p">Версия для печати</a></li>
 <li id="t-permalink"><a href="/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&oldid=8690" title="Постоянная ссылка на эту версию страницы">Постоянная ссылка</a></li>
 <li id="t-smwbrowselink"><a href="/Special:Browse/MediaWiki:Sidebar" title="Special:Browse/MediaWiki:Sidebar">Просмотреть свойства</a></li>
</ul>

This leads to the fact that when I change the language interface, this menu item remains untranslated. Maybe change this to common style, for result in HTML as (example for Russian language):

 <li id="t-recentchanges"><a href="/Special:Recentchanges" title="Список последних изменений [r]" accesskey="r">Свежие правки</a></li>

• Sorry. Fixed: http://code.creativecommons.org/viewgit/themes/cc_wiki.git/commit/?h=cc5&id=f9b607ce5e44e8253f7e368877a575065190ef70 nkinkade 18:29, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

  Thanks, The best!

  Also three notes:

  1. MediaWiki version is 1.15.1 , but see http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-announce/2010-April/000090.html - maybe need update to 1.15.3 ?
  2. NB2: Currently "t-page" navigation section (Page, Discussion, Edit, History, Move, Watch) is duplicated in footer area. Maybe also improve this (remove from footer)?
  3. NB3: Also in footer area currently are three untranslatable phrases ("Policies", "Privacy Policy" and "Terms of Use") that is automatically translatable in the standard skin (Monobook as example). Whether to integrate them in the CC skin?

  • 1. The plan is just to wait for 1.16 release. We don't allow user scripts.
    2. I suspect that our designer repeated the t-page links at the bottom for convenience in case someone wanted to access them while scrolled to the bottom.
    3. I could only find "Privacy policy" in the default messages. When are the strings "Terms of Use" and "Policies?"

    -- nkinkade 18:31, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

    1,2 - OK ;)

    3 - Hmm. I'm sorry, true, what exist only MediaWiki:Privacy => Privacy policy; but other strings is really html-only. See http://wiki.creativecommons.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Nathan_Kinkade&useskin=monobook for view another link set in the footer... As example, MediaWiki:Disclaimers => Disclaimers instead "Policies", and also displayed text from MediaWiki:copyright. No ideas for unification...--Kaganer 19:54, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Request

Hi Nathan, a couple of points:

• I placed this request Talk:Main Page#add language link, but am unsure whether any admins are watching the page. Just letting you know.
• For OpenID users, user pages have an OpenID link, I believe. Mine, User:Hamilton Abreu, has this thing I've never seen before, that looks like my id at google. Clicking it seems to attempt to download a file. Do you know what that is and what it contains?

Thanks. Hamilton Abreu 14:34, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

• • Link to pt_BR now added to main page.
  • The OpenID link on your user page is the $wgOpenIDShowUrlOnUserPage setting outlined here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenID#Configuration. We don't define that setting so it's apparently user-configurable. In your preferences?

Couldn't find anything on the preferences. Looked at the extension's documentation and it seems that the feature has no known security problems, which was my concern. Thanks for everything.

Me again. I'm embarassed by this, but the language code should have (obviously) been the MediaWiki language code. I have moved the page to Pt-br:Página principal and would so much appreciate it if you could correct the link in Main Page and then delete Pt BR:Página principal (I didn't flag this for deletion, so that the redirect stays put until the link is changed).

• Done. nkinkade 00:24, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
