Collections extension - updating system messages

[Mike.lifeguard]

In the hopes that someone beyond English Wikibooks is reading
this:
I noticed that some system messages in the Collections extension
were updated to say "book" instead of "collection" etc. I didn't
realize how many system messages were affected until hejko
notified me in IRC. I've changed the English ones back to "book"
where it makes sense to do so - other language editions of
Wikibooks will probably want to update the localizations at
Betawiki and/or change their local messages.
Thanks,
-Mike

Yes, there are people reading this beyond English Wikibooks. ;)

I also got a notice from He!ko and was surprised, too, how many messages there are. However, I changed about 30 messages at German Wikibooks. You changed only 19 messages at English Wikibooks. Did you miss some? You should have a look at [[Special:AllMessages]]. The messages of the collection extension are beginning with "coll-".

Kind regards

No, I deliberately left some. For example "Order this as a printed book"
(or whatever the actual words are) makes sense, so I left it. Only where
"book" is ambiguous or nonsensical did I change it back to collection.
People should feel free to review my work of course though.

Update: There was another change[1] which introduced the message
[[MediaWiki:Coll-bookscategory]], which broke the collection-loader
link on wikis wich customized the system messages of this extension.
You probably may want to change this message to "Collection" also.
Stored collection pages now automatically include a
[[Template:saved_book]] at their beginning. Therefore you might also
want to change [[MediaWiki:Coll-savedbook_template]] and create the
template (see an example[2]).

Thanks,
Heiko
