::::: It's only one file, so I'm just [[User:UnderBot/Source|hosting it on Rosetta Code]]; MediaWiki's edit history ought to provide all the version control we need. —[[User:Underscore|Underscore]] ([[User talk:Underscore|Talk]]) 14:45, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::: (How about moving this to a separate "Source control" heading?) The feature you miss out on is automated tracking of ''which version did I check out?'', without which you can't merge changes back safely without doing the same tracking manually, which is enough of a pain to be a significant barrier to contribution. MediaWiki does this implicitly in an edit session, but that isn't persistent enough. —[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 16:59, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
: This works now. You just have to make sure that the category for the alternate name is in [[:Category:Alternate language names]]. —[[User:Underscore|Underscore]] ([[User talk:Underscore|Talk]]) 12:31, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
