Hi, Johan (WMF), I don't think "You can see revisions when you click on the bar" is relevant, or understandable. IKhitron (talk) 12:32, 31 August 2017 (UTC) Reply

IKhitron: Do you mean the sentence or the item as such? /Johan (WMF) (talk) 12:37, 31 August 2017 (UTC) Reply

I mean that when you simplified this sentence, the meaning lost. IKhitron (talk) 12:38, 31 August 2017 (UTC) Reply

OK, thanks. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 12:39, 31 August 2017 (UTC) Reply

Much. Thank you. IKhitron (talk) 12:41, 31 August 2017 (UTC) Reply

I've been reading the Cantonese translation of this news item and realised that the date formatting code used by #time is wrong. Where do I edit that? Der yck C. 16:19, 5 September 2017 (UTC) Reply

• Further info - the date format string currently defaults to "j xg". It should be "n月j號". Der yck C. 16:23, 5 September 2017 (UTC) Reply

• j xg is always the default. You need to change it manually every times when translating the tech news, see for example Finnish translation, j xg is replaced by j. F"ta". Stryn (talk) 16:56, 5 September 2017 (UTC) Reply

One of the question is is that any way to modify the variable $format_language_code per language? If this one can be changed it can make that as the template value of the particular language code for that. Shinjiman (talk) 07:30, 6 September 2017 (UTC) Reply

@Shinjiman: Just change that to #time:n月j號 can't you? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:49, 9 September 2017 (UTC) Reply

PS: another solution would be fallback yue to zh-hk (not zh-hant, that refers to Taiwanese TC). See also my TWN discussion. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:50, 9 September 2017 (UTC) Reply

Okay, good to know that in the meantime we must manually change all the date format strings. Der yck C. 18:39, 18 September 2017 (UTC) Reply
