On Sanskrit wiki, transliteration tool is made as mediawiki part. But that javascript program is not always preferred by all, and one may like to use his/her own transliteration tool. So when i am trying to use a local tool (gadget) e.g. sa_rules.js, by choosing it from 'my preference' it should work. But it is not effective at all, perhaps due to interference with the already effective Input Method. Normally such transliteration tool becomes effective with ctrl+M, and in case of one being default mediawiki tool and one set by 'my preferences', perhaps the ctrl+M goes to mediawiki one, and 'my preferences'-gadget remains ineffective. My concern here is, one should be able to make their own gadget work, overriding the Mediawiki one, if he/she wants so. Thanks. -user:Hemant_wikikosh (Admin on Sanskrit wikipedia)
Could you please describe in what way sa_rules.js is better than the built-in tool? It looks like their code is very similar.
+1 to Amir, If one feels Narayam is affecting their gadgets to work, there are 2 options 1. Disable Narayam in editing preferences and use own gadgets 2. If they want to use both in parallel, Fix their own gadget.If one builds their own gadget(I assume this number would be in single digit, they should fix their gadget instead of 'fixing' Narayam which is used widely across languages). If there are differnces in sa_rules.js, please file a seperate bug to update rules . Also Narayam supports additional features like supporting <inputbox> which old js gadget didnt do. Should this be marked as INVALID ?
If you prefer using an input method(browser plugin or gadget or desktop IME etc) just disable Narayam using preferences page. I hope that address your concern. If you want to get some improvements on the sa input methods in Narayam, you may file another bug,
