Deploy ULS/UniversalLanguageSelector to all Wikimedia wikis (tracking)

Description

Author: etjazz

Description:
This is not about a bug! I just follow the guidelines at Wikipedia Village Pump about proposals for changes in the software and post this here.

I just have a suggestion of a very general type: Would it be possible to add a means to switch language from every Wikimedia page? Some pages contain the possibility to switch to another language, but some have not. I am multilingual, and therefore would need such a feature quite frequently. If there is no link to other languages, or the language I want to go to is not listed, it is always quite awkward to restart from scratch at the homepage.

Deassigning myself, leaving this for the general queue after we mull over some stuff.

This will be solved by [[mw:Universal_Language_Selector]], you might want to add your feedback there.

Switching from LATER to the second most relevant resolution for fear of information loss. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/65116
(Should probably be marked duplicate of some tracking bug for ULS deployment now.)

Krinkle added a comment.Jan 18 2013, 3:53 PM

Since I couldn't find a deployment tracker, converting this one to it.

Also adding a handful of bugs I think are blockers. Selected based on their bug titles only (looked specifically for quality and usability).

If some are less important, please remove them with rationale. And add more as needed.

Nemo_bis added a comment.Apr 2 2013, 9:56 AM

Clarifying summary: this is not a tracking bug for regular i18ndeploy requests (shell requests for WebFonts/Narayam/ULS on individual wikis).

That was completed on 2013-07-09 as planned, but I don't think that fixes this bug yet because language selection is for logged-in users only; blocker bug 42186 is still open.
Ops have not yet come up with a solution for that, so no plans exist and there are no useful bug reports, but as soon as they exist they should be added as blockers of this bug.

Nemo_bis added a comment.Jan 22 2014, 7:53 AM

See Erik's bug 46306 comment 115 for the current status of plans.

All subtasks already belong to a specific column on the Wikimedia-Extension-setup project board.

Would someone wants to keep this tracking bug or could we close it?

Forgotten by whom? ULS (this task) is the proposed solution for T5665, which is not fixed yet. T58464 is the current culprit.

What's unclear is whether T58292 is really still open or can be considered resolved/not a blocker.

Niklas on IRC:

Nikerabbit> Nemo_bis: so mark something as dupe then?

Now fixing some relations to skip the middlemen and reduce open tasks...

ULS extension (what this task was about) itself has been deployed to all wikis. Anonymous language selection was never a requirement for finishing this task.
