Thread:Talk:Universal Language Selector/feature to make content language default/reply (2)

Sorry for delay in the reply, Since, June month is begining of academic year and admissions period for majority of our users, hits had gone down and it was defficult to ascretain exact response to ULS on Marathi language Wikipedia.Since end of June user activity is coming back to normal. I have tried to analyse data from 24 June 2013 to 10th of July 2013. All this is about using ULS for inputting Marathi language which has been our real and majior concern.


 * Row1:
 * Newbies with account Contribution is sourced and counted from [http://mr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/newbies
 * ip contribution is sourced from [http://mr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hideliu=1
 * Newbie+ip efforts to contribute while creating very short new pages and stopped by edit filter are considered
 * First timer ips are guessed from their lack of skill level with wikimarkup
 * Whether user/ip is of Marathi background is guessed from user name or content wordings
 * Row2:
 * Figures sourced from Hits catched by special purpose edit filter no 56, to the special sandbox,(Sandbox to practice inputting Marathi language) New users and ips get diverted with from welcome message and or mediawiki message to above mentioned special Sandbox
 * Since people are self selecting to reach out to special sanbox that means they are specifically intrested in learning Marathi typing input skills
 * Above figures are for rough idea and can ip figures can not be exact due to related technical aspects
 * For inputting text Marathi language wikipedia initially used to use local java to provide transliteration, there after we shifted to Narayam, Now since begining of June 2013 we are using ULS.
 * If you see above figures now new user success ratio to input Marathi is around 40%
 * While we did not do such exercize earlier I have been personally creating all related help pages, (We have put in substantial effort for the same) and studying new user behaviour extensively I feel there is substantial improvement in success rate of users becoming able to input Marathi with help of new ULS,nodoubt compliments and thanks for the same.
 * Rest of 60% are aslo serious potential users, currently an user needs to select language of input; what we are requesting is to provide us facility where in ULS Marathi transliteration अक्षरांतरण can be made default on the special sandbox page विकिपीडिया:धूळपाटी/केवळ_मराठी on Marathi Wikipedia so first timer need not select language of input.

Hope and request to look into above.

Thanks and Warm regards
