Rename tracking categories for consistency in WMF-deployed extensions
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

8 WMF-deployed extensions have a tracking category added to every page that uses the extension, and they all name them differently: https://codesearch.wmcloud.org/deployed/?q="(intersection-category|.%2B%3F-(use|tracking)-category)"%3A&files=en.json

mediawiki/extensions/Graph"Pages with graphs"
mediawiki/extensions/intersection"Pages using DynamicPageList"
mediawiki/extensions/Kartographer"Pages with maps"
mediawiki/extensions/Phonos"Pages that use Phonos"
mediawiki/extensions/RSS"Pages with RSS feeds"
mediawiki/extensions/Score"Pages which use score"
mediawiki/extensions/timeline"Pages using Timeline"
mediawiki/extensions/wikihiero"Pages using WikiHiero"

Some of these names are also not very precise or helpful for anyone who doesn't know what's a "WikiHiero", for example.

They should be renamed to use a consistent pattern, for example using the one that folks at English Wikipedia have used already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:TrackingCategories

mediawiki/extensions/GraphPages using the Graph extension
mediawiki/extensions/intersectionPages using the DynamicPageList extension
mediawiki/extensions/KartographerPages using the Kartographer extension
mediawiki/extensions/PhonosPages using the Phonos extension
mediawiki/extensions/RSSPages using the RSS extension
mediawiki/extensions/ScorePages using the Score extension
mediawiki/extensions/timelinePages using the EasyTimeline extension
mediawiki/extensions/wikihieroPages using the WikiHiero extension

There are another one: Pages using DynamicPageList (intersection-category).

"The folks at the English Wikipedia" = basically just me, by the way.

I suggest either Pppery's convention of "Pages using the N extension" or simply "Pages using N". The latter is a little more vague but still grammatically correct, given N is a capitalized proper noun, as it should be for any extension. I.e. "Pages using Score".

Some of these names are also not very precise or helpful for anyone who doesn't know what's a "WikiHiero", for example.

As a tracking category (more admin/sysadmin-oriented), I wouldn't be too concerned about it, so long as it reads well enough. "Pages using the WikiHiero extension" doesn't make sense either unless you know what an "extension" is in this context. Nonetheless, the word "extension" does help those who do know what it means, so all in all I vote for "Pages using the N extension".

Lets also not forget to document this convention at Manual:Extension registration § Tracking categories (which I just added!) and maybe also Help:Tracking categories.

Is it enough to simply change the en.json messages and wait for the deployment train? Or does it also need some kind of cache refreshing?

matmarex added a comment.Jun 13 2024, 1:55 PM

Yes, although it will take a few days or weeks until all pages are moved to the newly renamed tracking categories. This can be accelerated by purging them.

I'd be happy to merge changes here, but first I'd want someone to volunteer to write a Tech News entry and respond to any comments. Although the initial change will only affect English-language wikis (excluding English Wikipedia, which already uses these names), I would expect the changes to the source text to also lead to some changes in translations, so it seems worth announcing to the wider Wikimedia community.

Timeline appears to have been renamed without any complaints I can find. Probably the others will be too.

Pppery added a comment.Aug 12 2024, 7:37 PM

(except for Graph, which at this point we shouldn't touch)

matmarex added a comment.Aug 12 2024, 7:43 PM

I've been hoping that someone would do all of them at once, so that we wouldn't have to bother translators and the communities with these changes more times than necessary.

Thank you @Pppery!

For Tech News, I believe this would be a suitable summary (both clear to those familiar, and with enough clues for those unfamiliar, and pointers for translators). Please tweak or suggest alternatives, if needed:

Six tracking categories have been renamed in TranslateWiki to make them more easily understood and consistent. These categories are automatically added to pages that use specialized MediaWiki extensions. The affected names are for: DynamicPageList, Kartographer, Phonos, RSS, Score, WikiHiero. Wikis that have created the category locally should rename their local creation to match.

Pppery added a comment.Aug 14 2024, 11:57 PM

That, plus the usual link to the task, should suffice.

Jonesey95 added a comment.Aug 14 2024, 11:59 PM

I suggest adding something like "The new category names are listed at [[Special:TrackingCategories]]."
