Perhaps we can even change the definition on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiLove , currently «extension designed to promote the spread of WikiLove within Wikipedia».

Basically yes, although I didn't check whether local implementations actually localised the extension; sometimes we have blind implementations of en.wiki concepts (which are often the default even in MediaWiki) because localisers are not bold/industrious enough. I don't think the extension's aim is to export kittens, beer (!) and other unknown amenities to all communities. ;-) Nemo _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
