I think one bug will do to track these very similar requests; to summarise, change:

  • ar.wikiquote
  • ar.wikisource
  • ar.wikibooks
  • ar.wiktionary

to match the current setting on ar.wikipedia

to it .

Apparently, not *all* of you *do* want this change.

that is link to vote i made for this issue , actually all operators and active users approve
this changing , normal users don,t care which system is used .

for organisagion's issues it is necceray to use the same settings , it makes no sense that we
use different settings from Wikipedia's settings .

i think Elian is Bearucrat in Ar_Wikipedia and he can be sure that Wikipedia operators approve
thise changing .

This isn't about changing the system on Arabic Wikipedia, but about making the
other projects consistent with that Wikipedia.
