Thanks for migrating those.

The first one is probably another case for the mechanism you installed in #24 . It is used here for formatting the date/time data of the revisions. In theory it can contain all the placeholders from https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php , where %B is currently manually replaced by the localized month name.

I don't know how to support PLURAL or what to do with "URL needs to be capitalized in this message.", though @siebrand / @translatewiki

Hi @FlominatorTM

1. I've added message documentation for that message. You can see it here.
2. Regarding the URL needs to be capitalized, the following change needs to be made -
   Please paste url to MediaWiki page ---> Please paste URL to MediaWiki page
3. Regarding the PLURAL support, you should modify your English string since there can be one or more revisions. Something similar to this,
   • The following {{PLURAL:$1|page is|$1 pages are}} in the current category.
   • View {{PLURAL:$1|one deleted edit|$1 deleted edits}} - Where $1 is the number of edits

Thanks. Did the URL part.

Regarding PLURAL support: is this only supposed to support different texts for "one" and for "more than one"? I heard that there are countries which have more than these two forms ...

@FlominatorTM - We support different plural forms based on the language. Your can read more about plural forms here.

But what do I need to implement?
