== Move interface explanations from talk page to subpage? == I just realized that when we install StructuredDiscussions, the talk pages may be archived. I don't know how that might impact the interface explanations. To be safe, maybe we should start putting interface explanations on subpages instead, such as moving the contents of [[MediaWiki talk:Abbreviations]] to [[MediaWiki:Abbreviations/explanation]]? Just food for thought. [[User:Notjusttired]] <br>[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 15:54, November 3, 2019 (EST) :Oh no, I hadn't realised that. It should really be a /doc subpage though since that's the mediawiki standard. Would it be possible to bulk export talk subpages containing interface explanations, eg [[Special:Export]], then edit the file to be subpages instead, and use [[Special:Import]] to create them? ~[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 17:47, November 3, 2019 (EST) ::That's a great idea [[User:Notjusttired|Njt]]! Of course we can do a bulk export/import. The only problem I can see with naming the subpages "/doc" is that it looks like a language code, so it might cause a little confusion. ::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 18:04, November 3, 2019 (EST) :::The main thing will be the change of namespace, from Talk to (main), I suggest you add any old main page to the export then the namespace info for it will be added. It should be simple to see name space numbers that need changing. Lots of online text replace tools will do it for you without adding extra characters. Eg [https://onlinetexttools.com/replace-text this] or [this https://textmechanic.com/text-tools/basic-text-tools/find-and-replace-text/]. It will be wrapped in an xml eg <tag>6</tag> so just replace the entire tag to change the number. ~[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 18:57, November 3, 2019 (EST) ::::Sounds good, [[User:Notjusttired|Njt]]. I'll wait to do it until just before we install the StructuredDiscussions. This way, we can continue to adjust the interface explanations as we see fit in the "Talk:" namespace. Once the interface explanations are all in the "MediaWiki:" namespace, it's harder to adjust them. ::::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 19:55, November 3, 2019 (EST) :::::The export should be done before the pages are archived, although thinking about it a MediaWiki_talk:Copyright-used-with-permission/doc path would be better than a subpage in a MediaWiki (or main) content space. We don't want these pages indexing for example. ~[[User:Notjusttired|Njt]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 09:57, November 4, 2019 (EST)
