Edit summaries
@Sophivorus: I tested this out a few times and it seems like it is not always creating edit summaries correctly. MediaWiki:Synchronizer.js appears to be trying to create a link with an interwiki prefix (with things like ) however it looks like it sometimes bases this off of Wikidata sitelinks which use database names and not interwiki prefixes. I do not think you want to attempt to maintain a complete mapping. You would be better off linking through Wikidata since it already knows how to link to each page via its sitelinks, e.g.,: Notice how the database name  is now useful when used in conjunction with   at Wikidata.
 * Edit a summary that seems good: 1144856459
 * Edits with problematic summaries: 71665579 13075854 24722031 5827927
 * Should have had more useful summaries like: Update from master using Synchronizer

You should do away with hackery like  (luckily it seems this is only used to create the "master" wikitext link in the summary). Instead, use master wiki database id combined with the Wikidata item id to create the "master" wikitext link for the summary by going through d:Special:GoToLinkedPage (using something like  and   if I am reading the code correctly).

I would attempt to edit it myself but I do not have access as I am not an interface/UI editor like you are (at least for the next two weeks anyway). —Uzume (talk) 00:51, 16 March 2023 (UTC)


 * You might want to consider adding a hashtag to these edits too. See Hashtags. Even better (but much more difficult) would be figuring out how to add a revision/change tag. See Manual:Tags and Help:Tags. —Uzume (talk) 01:15, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
