Blockers removed, but we are moving to Backlog for now, with the hope to release in January 2025.

Sorry, I've been so busy with other things that I don't think I'll get around to doing more with this task any time soon. Anyone else is welcome to submit a patch (and thus walk into code review hell) themselves.

New users:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fixer88/Userboxes is broken now and would do what it was intended to do after the proposed change
• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:PeelitePowellite passes header=Languages. This does nothing now (it's not a supported parameter) and will continue to do nothing of consequence if the handling is changed

I checked a few random other wikis

• Spanish Wikipedia has a few userpages passing align=left after the last language. This does nothing, and will continue to do nothing. It also has a few that pass the result of expanding a template, which is broken and will continue to be broken

I also jumped around different wikis and found nothing but errors in the code.

Thanks! OK, we are reviewing previous feedback (including T328171#10135832) and looking to make the copy on the configuration form a little more user-friendly and less technical, and then we should be ready for release.

However, I do not think that multilinguality is something decided at the beginning of a wiki, and then never changed. In fact, this comes from how the community actually makes use of the wiki.

Thx! Checked it as part when checked T374611. No issues found.

• We wanted to check in with the original creator of the task... @Iniquity: we've attempted to QA test this work and we don't see any blockers to release, but we also notice than many wikis use Babel in unique ways. We just wanted to check in to see if there are any specific use cases you can think of that we should be sure to test for, or if there is anything further you can think of that should block this release?

No rush on my side, I just wanted to make sure I do my part. That's all.

I met with @Urbanecm_WMF, @Trizek-WMF, and @Etonkovidova to discuss open Product and QA testing questions and a release plan. Decisions from the meeting:

Good enough for me, thanks @Ladsgroup!

Of course, the technical impacts of that option can be a concern. We should certainly rewrite the help text to be less technical and more easier to understand. I'm not sure if this level of user-caused fragmentation is acceptable – I'm curious if eg. @Ladsgroup has any thoughts on this.

I looked at the form on beta enwiki, and I’m a bit concerned about the Use user language setting. It warns the user that setting it to true may “fragment the parser cache”, but I don’t think an average wiki administrator knows what it means or what consequences it has for the operators. I also don’t think it’s realistically needed – it’s basically true for multilingual wikis and false for monolingual ones. So to avoid people unintentionally blowing up the parser cache, I’d remove this one as well from the community configuration.
