Hi. Thank you for the great Authorship XTool. But it's currently available only in the de, en, es, eu, tr Wikipedias. How could it support other languages, please? Especially pt. Thank you.

Long-term we want to support all major Wikipedias, including Portuguese. However we first are being forced to bring the backend in-house to WMF infrastructure (it currently relies on an external service). The task for this is at phab:T288840 and you can follow it for updates. Only after that is resolved (hopefully sometime in the next few months), will we be able to consider adding more languages.

Hi ! This Authorship tool is a great complement to the XTools Page History when analyzing the relative impact of users on articles. However, the language list is an important limit to its use. Do you have a bit more visibility on when / how other languages will be added ? Is there any way we can help ? Thank you for your attention
