Remove the language icon shown on Wikidata.org and MediaWiki.org on mobile web (as it doesn't do anything)
This is an advanced task.
The language icon (文A) appears in Wikidata and Mediawiki on mobile web (such as subpages of https://m.wikidata.org/ and https://m.mediawiki.org/ ; the mobile web view uses the Minerva skin), but doesn't do anything useful. It should be disabled for the time being:
- Update the
mediawiki-config
code repository so thatMinervaAlwaysShowLanguageButton
defaults totrue
for all wikis exceptmediawikiwiki
andwikidatawiki
where it should befalse
. - Once you have been given the green light, schedule the change for deployment on Wikimedia servers. Be sure to read up on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/X-Wikimedia-Debug beforehand to check how you can test your change during that deployment window. Jon Robson can assist.
You are expected to provide a patch in Wikimedia Gerrit. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial for how to set up Git and Gerrit.
