    Hello,

    I've deleted the "ioscoming" template by mistake in an experiment-gone-wrong. (Long story short: I thought I was still on the staging site, but then I wasn't). Fortunately, I was able to recreate it by copying and pasting the cached content for each locale. If you're a locale reviewer, please review my pending revision and we'll be on track for the more exciting stuff:

    What to expect on our (mystery) launch date

    The Firefox for iOS global launch is coming soon. Here's what you'll see at 6 A.M. Pacific on launch day:

    1. I'll hide everything in the ioscoming template using comment tags. This template should not show up in any of the iOS articles after launch.

    2. I'll delete the old content in Is Firefox available for iPhone or iPad in my language? and unhide the new content (a long list of languages) by removing the comment tags. If you look at the markup, you'll see which content needs to be deleted.

    I plan to make these changes in en-us first, then in all locales (assuming you have the latest update localized and ready for unveiling). If you're around to help, watch this space and irc (#sumo) for a signal and join in on the frenzy.

    Thanks for all your work, and happy launch month.

    Hi Vanja,

    I remember seeing that the Serbian version still has the old text ("Good news! Firefox for iOS is now available in the following countries...") so I didn't copy it over.

    I didn't copy over versions that were out of date since they need to be updated anyway and I don't have the language skills to do that.

    I'm really sorry for the mishap and I've definitely learned not to do that again. On a related note, I learned that we have regular backups, but they can be quite time-consuming to retrieve. It was faster for me to copy and paste, but if we ever have an even bigger emergency in the future, at least we can rely on the backup. Joni

    hmm, that is interesting. Templates are being regularly updated (checking few times a week if there is some new stuff to be done). I remember updating that one 2-3 times with new en (changes) revision.

    Anyway thanks for info, I will just localize it again :)

    Cheers! ~ Vanja

    Hi Joni,

    I've edted the article Install Firefox on your iPad, iPhone or iPod in which the template wasn't referenced. I've also inserted the App Store link as noted in the comments - well, I hope, since I've never used an Apple device.

    Bye :)
