For MediaWiki (recent comments | status changes | tags | authors | states | release notes | statistics)
This is an unfortunate solution from the Commons’ view. There is a great number of pages using Licensing: as the section caption… (which should now be changed to Licensing). The other way round (keeping “license” for the section caption, and introducing e.g. “license-label”) would be much more friendly to Commons.
I changed it to MediaWiki:License-header and not MediaWiki:License-label since MediaWiki:License is already defined with the colon for the label so MediaWiki:License doesn't have to be changed, which would not have been the case if MediaWiki:License-label was added.
Just to clarify, because of the formatting. Commons pages use {{int:licensing}} (to ensure proper localization).
If they use {{int:licensing}} then they will not be affected by a change to the 'license' message. Can you clarify and provide some sample links? Thanks!
D’oh! Trying twice, and getting it wrong both times, me stupid! OK, for the third time, now hopefully correct:
On Commons, the caption of the licensing section on a file description page is usually changed to “== {{int:license}} ==” (see e.g. [1]), so that it gets translated correctly (and the top section is changed to “== {{int:filedesc}} ==” for the same reason). If the section header will now be under {{int:license-header}} instead of that {{int:license}}, we will have to change all those (well, not really, keeping them under int:license is not a catastrophic problem, but still…).
== {{int:license}} ==
== {{int:filedesc}} ==
I'm going to mark this OK for now... it sounds like it won't really make the situation any worse than it already is. :)
The whole lot needs a cleanup at some point though (eg it should actually *get initially saved* to the standard format, not need changing later), so marking this as todo.
