Description:
Pages are wrongly sorted on the Macedonian Wikipedia (as well as all other Macedonian Wiki projects). For instance, see: http://mk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0:%D0%9A%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0_%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5_%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B8

The letter „Ј“ is found at the beginning of the list, instead of after „И“. I believe that this is a database problem, namely in the collation scheme used. For Macedonian, utf8_unicode_ci would be appropriate instead of utf8_general_ci.

kaldari reopened this task as Open.

mk is already listed in $tailoringFirstLetters with an empty array, but https://ssl.icu-project.org/trac/browser/icu/trunk/source/data/coll/mk.txt seems to suggest that it may need some tailorings. @Bawolff: Can you take a look at that file and let me know if any first letter tailorings are needed? Also it would nice to document how these first name tailorings are generated, as I still don't understand that part.

Im pretty sure Ѓ and Ќ should be. Usually it should be a capitalized version of whatever is after a single <.

Just talked to the Macedonian editor that is requesting this change and he says that they want to switch to numeric sorting while they are at it. Adjusted the task title accordingly.

The first letter tailoring made the deployment train so they should be deployed to Macedonian Wikipedia this Thursday. Hopefully we can switch the collation and rebuild the sort keys next week.
