  • Bug 20909 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

These bugs block full-scale roll-out of LiquidThreads (batch-change).

I need to take this for now so that I can plan designs for it.

Is there anything i can do to help? I'm not much of a MediaWiki developer, but maybe i can help testing. The demand for this to work in Hebrew is growing.

Largely fixed by r79905. Needs some cleanup with regard to direction of reply image perhaps and some other smaller details.

r80030 fixes the thread collapse arrow

Thanks a lot.

Is it possible to test these fixes in some full-fledged RTL wiki?

(In reply to comment #8)

In theory you can test it here:
http://prototype.wikimedia.org/ar.wikipedia.org/نقاش:الصفحة_الرئيسية

But the prototype seems out of date and broken atm.

The prototype runs the 1.17 branch, and your fixes haven't been merged into it yet.

Setting to high/major, as RTL support in MediaWiki is considered very important, and a priority extension not supporting it, is bad.

Giving to Alolita so she can find an appropriate developer to work on this.
