Mangu Purty (ID: 000000632aae58de) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/04/2019 The code for this extension in GitHub has been updated to include more scripts and languages, but than update is not reflected in this extension. I wanted to type in Ol Chiki and Warang Chiti, it works across all WikiMedia platforms but not with this extension, though they use the same code.
