Summary of requests: software enhancements

Two-factor authentication

Extension:OATHAuth is an extension that adds the functionality of two-factor authentication to the Wiki. Would be a nice touch to security and to keep up with the times. Using it would remain optional and nothing would change for the users unless they choose to enable it themselves (disabled by default), so we won't see another Flow-talkpage-bad-please-remove situation here.

Dark mode

Dark mode extension for a softer look on the eyes. I personally use an extension already because I can't stand editing and when the page reloads and flashbangs me. It's an optional button and you scan switch which elements will be dark and which won't. Might cause trouble with images with 1px borders though.

Auto add "update trans" template

I find few translators have the habit of updating their works. And I have told Chinese regulars to use Watchlist well for updating, however, it seems most of them won't listen.

Let me stress the importance of updating translation here: English pages, or should I say, orginal pages may be updated by anyone at anytime, and the translation sub pages won't update themselves. For those translators who work here frequently, maintaining the timeliness of translated pages is as important as creating new ones.

I have been thinking about this for 2 days, although it's possible to track the newest versions by using Watchlist (while many translators have yet to do so), searching for other pages which need updating could be very time consuming. We already have "update trans" template for this, but it's a fact that many outdated pages haven't been marked for it.

So, my request is whether if we can have a bot to add "update trans" template automatically based on difference between the last editing dates of the original pages and the translation pages, which would make it eaiser to find outdated translation pages? The difference could be set to half a year or other value.

I know that this change will spam our Wiki, but as long as it can attract translators' attention to updating, it will be worthy.
