Hallo! To follow the links mentioned below you need a1) to log in to [[:eo:]] a2) and change your interface language to *Hebrew* at [[:eo:special:Preferences]] a3) click on http://eo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=page_does_not_exist&action=edit b1) to log in to [[:yi:]] b2) and change your interface language to *English* at [[:yi:special:Preferences]] b3) click on http://yi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_does_not_exist c1) to log in to [[:he:]] c2) and change your interface language to *English* at [[:he:special:Preferences]] c3) click on http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_does_not_exist Preliminary: How MediaWiki works today: With the exception of [[Special:Version]] standard BiDi rendering follows the *content language* and does not care about the differences of RTL / LTR rendering between *selected interface language* and *content language*. See bug: [[Special:Version]] should be wrapped with <div dir="ltr"> ... </div> Scope: This bug report is about changing the rendering of BiDi characters in the MediaWiki messages according to the *selected interface* and *not* to the content language. Afected / relevant BiDi characters in MediaWiki messages: (from practice; please find required documentation for all characters) ",", ".", "!", "?", ":", "(", ")", "[", "]", "{", "}", "|" ... which renders depending on RTL / LTR *context* Proposed solution: Probably a beter way then using general <div dir="foo"> ... </div> or <span dir="bar"> ... </div> would be to use ‭<BiDi character>‬ if the character has to be written inside a LTR MediaWiki message: ‮<BiDi character>‬ if the character has to be written inside a RTL MediaWiki message: compare with bug 3953: BiDi issues related to the "In other language" section should be fixed in Names.php How it works: *example 3:* Please note that at http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_does_not_exist the text is like .There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page *note* that the "." character is *at the beginning! *example 3:* Please note that at http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_does_not_exist the text is like .There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page *note* that the "." character is at the *beginning*! *example 2:* Please note that at http://yi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_does_not_exist There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page. *note* that the "." character is at the *end*! This is because of the *changes made at* http://yi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=6978&oldid=6977 *example 1:* Please note that at http://eo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=page_does_not_exist&action=edit :כתוב כאן את הטקסט עבור הדף החדש *note* that the ":" character is at the *left*! This is because of the *changes made at* http://eo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=320159&oldid=320157 Without the change the text would look like כתוב כאן את הטקסט עבור הדף החדש: *note* that the ":" character is at the *left*! *note* 1) Many MediaWiki messages are containing variables $1, $2 etc. When evaluated their content can be / become LTR, RTL or BiDi . 2) Many MedaiWiuki messages are used as a piece inside a special page together with other content. These situations have a greater complexity and BiDi adaptations should be done after the simpler ones are working properly. Resolution will be changed to *LATER*. Debendency on blucks bug 745. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
the patch in bug #6100 may fix some of the problems.
Dear Reinhardt, A lot of bidi and RTL improvements have been made lately. Could you please update on the status of this request?

I tried with your steps and this is not the case anymore with 1.21wmf6 and Firefox 17.0.1. > *example 2:* > Please note that at > http://yi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_does_not_exist > There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title > in > other pages or edit this page. > *note* that the "." character is at the *end*! > This is because of the *changes made at* > http://yi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=6978&oldid=6977 Going back to the previous revision at http://yi.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%9E%D7%A2%D7%93%D7%99%D7%A2%D7%B0%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%99:Noarticletext/en&oldid=6977 also displays the "." character at the end. > *example 1:* > Please note that at > http://eo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=page_does_not_exist&action=edit > :כתוב כאן את הטקסט עבור הדף החדש > *note* that the ":" character is at the *left*! > This is because of the *changes made at* > http://eo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=320159&oldid=320157 > Without the change the text would look like > כתוב כאן את הטקסט עבור הדף החדש: > *note* that the ":" character is at the *left*! Going back to the previous revision at http://eo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Newarticletext/he&oldid=320157 it is also displayed correctly. Hence this has been fixed in the meantime.
