Adopt improved interface messages from English Wikipedia
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: rememberthedot

Description:
Over the years, we of the English Wikipedia have edited many of MediaWiki's interface messages, improving on the defaults. We've edited for clarity, completeness, spelling, grammar, consistency. usefulness, etc. I went through [[en:Special:AllPages]] and pulled out the improvements that I think would be useful to have as defaults, so that other wikis benefit by default instead of having to edit their messages too. I'd be happy to explain the reasoning behind any of the changes.


Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
