As unregistered users cannot edit or translate anything and registered users only have ablity to edit talk pages and user pages, and translating content, also creating an account is disabled. Can this wiki be considered "semi-fishbowl"? [[User:ToadetteEdit|ToadetteEdit]] ([[User talk:ToadetteEdit|talk]]) 20:03, 10 November 2023 (UTC) |
|||
For minor update, use [[m:Translation requests/quick translation]]. |

Honestly saying [http://wikimania.wikimedia.org Wikimania site] has better navigations than us. --- how do you think ? I am stronly ostinated by a thought non-English pages should have two kinds of navigation templates: one for interlang, one for all major pages in that language.

== Request for translation administrator rights == |
|||
I've edited many pages to fix small things (see below), but above all, I built '''[[User:Jd/Inventory|an inventory]]''' of the web site. I think we ''ought'' to clean up this wiki or it will be as messy as Meta soon :) There are.. many pages to be deleted, many pages to be categorized, many pages to be enhanced. See my inventory for the details, and also my [[User:Jd/Proposal|proposals]] about some specific points. I asked Angela, Anthere and Michael about the possibility to be admin here, so at least someone (who has time and will) can take care of the website. Basically, I volunteer for the maintenance of the wiki (check wether translations are up to date and monitor Meta related stuff, check that templates are used in the good way, delete orphaned, enhance pages, contact new translators and so on) o/ Just ask :) |
|||
Hi, I have been cleaning up some vandalism in my capacity as a global sysop. Since I am not a translation admin here, I am not able to delete translated pages (like [[Agenda:2016-04-22/bm]], not a translation). Therefore I request translation administrator rights according to the [[Wikimedia:Accounts policy]]. Thanks, --[[User:Ameisenigel|Ameisenigel]] ([[User talk:Ameisenigel|talk]]) 09:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC) |
|||
Concerning the small things: |
|||
* working on categorization (lang cats, then usual cats by themes) |
|||
* enhanced accessibility by [[User:Jd/Proposal/LangCSS|improving the lang templates]] (can do more, but must be able to edit monobook.css easily) |
|||
* updated/synched with english many French pages |
|||
* and more to come btw :) |
|||
:@[[User:Ameisenigel|Ameisenigel]]: Thank you for your help! I have gone ahead and setup these rights. Thank you again! --[[User:GVarnum-WMF|Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him]]] ([[User talk:GVarnum-WMF|talk]]) 22:20, 4 March 2024 (UTC) |

== LincolnBot broke [[Template:Decade years navbox]] == |
|||
: I think it better than it was. But, I have a question. Why can't we link languages just like [[wikia:]]? at there, you can link other languages just same as a interwiki link and it is the most natural way to whom uses wikipedia/wikimedia projects. I want to remove those ugly language links from top of the every pages except home.--[[User:Suisui|Suisui]] 12:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC) I mean, we need <nowiki>[[wikipedia:en:something]]</nowiki> but we dont need <nowiki>[[en:something]]</nowiki> link to wikipedia:en: from here--[[User:Suisui|Suisui]] 12:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC) |

::I started something like the Wikia system, for example [[:Category:English]] and [[:Category:Français]]. The main category (say, English) gathers all English written pages, and the sub-categories organize those pages within thematic blocks. |
|||
::One thing we must take into consideration is that many pages are available on English only (or have a poor translation so the English version is useful, or the English version is the official one (policies)). Thus, lang templates are often useful (even if, as you remind me on irc, japanese speakers often speak 日本語 only and are not interested with the English original text :). Translations issues affect old pages but also pages to come, since Meta translation process is freezed for many languages. So throwing away (all or any, don't know yet) lang templates may be an overreaction, IMO. [[User:Jd|jd]] [[User_talk:Jd|❂]] 13:38, 9 August 2006 (UTC) |
|||
In [[Special:Diff/361758]] LincolnBot changed the "cat_prefix" parameter to "cat prefix" in [[Template:Decade years navbox]]. Note "cat_suffix" was not changed. By changing the parameter, [[Template:DMCA category by year]] (which uses the "cat_prefix" parameter) no longer links to the correct categories. For example, as of 27 March 2024 if you go to [[:Category:DMCA 2023]] you'll see that in the DMCA category by year nav box that "2022" no longer links to [[:Category:DMCA 2022]], it instead is linking to [[:Category:2022]]. This is because the template [[Template:Decade years navbox]] is no longer recognizing the prefix passed in by [[Template:DMCA category by year]]. —[[User:RP88|RP88]] ([[User talk:RP88|talk]]) 19:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC) |

You've talked about the design some <s>weeks</s> months ago. What do you think of the website looking (a bit more) like a "static" website? I mean, we might get rid of the traditionnal monobook stylesheet and have the wiki wearing a nicer, fancier, smarter skin which would fit both the wiki spirit and more traditionnal needs. I don't think the toolbox and all the edit, <s>history</s><small>needed, as talk pages</small>, blabla stuff is needed by readers, since this wiki is in fact a "legal front", with few updates. If I'm right, we can have MediaWiki to hide those wiki elements to the anonymous users (and have them coming out again for registered contributors who need them to edit pages). If you think a good idea ''all this'' is, I can draft out a stylesheet :) [[User:Jd|Jd]] 00:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:Please do, absolutely. And it might be a good idea to limit the pages which should exist in translations to a minimum which can be updated. It shows the foundation in a bad light if more than half of the content of this wiki here is outdated. --[[User:Elian|Elian]] 22:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC) |

I don't know about the skin, but one annoying feature that should be removed is the [edit] link at every section for non-registered users, it gets their hopes up, just to be squashed by the site-feedback message.--[[User:Bdamokos|Dami]] 19:20, 18 December 2006 (UTC) |

If I read the [[w:Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2022 October 29#Module:No globals|en.wikipedia TfD discussion]] correctly, the function of this module has replaced by [[mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#strict|strict]] library of [[mw:Extension:Scribunto|Scribunto extension]], and as it has no [[special:whatlinkshere/Module:No globals|linked-in pages]], do we really need a reason to keep it?

For the record, I've removed the .editsection hiding code. Users who are not logged in should not have edit sections links at all, so there should be nothing to hide. And hiding them for logged-in users just causes headaches on pages like this one. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] 21:54, 6 November 2009 (UTC) |

== [[w:HTML Tidy|HTML Tidy]] == |
|||
Hello all -- |
|||
[[w:HTML Tidy|HTML Tidy]] has been [http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/index.php?diff=23400&oldid=23397&diffonly=1 disabled] on this wiki due to issues with Tidy stripping out <tt><style></tt> tags inside <tt><html></tt> tags. |
|||
HTML Tidy runs on nearly all Wikimedia wikis. It cleans up HTML, usually closing unclosed <tt><div></tt>s or <tt><span></tt>s and making the code safer in general (and less likely to break the rest of the page content if poor code is input by the user). |
|||
After being disabled and as the cache has begun to re-generate, some poor code is now becoming visible in normal page output. For example, [[Home]] began displaying <tt><div style="clear:both" /></tt> in several places because Tidy is no longer correcting this poor code (div's and span's both require closing tags and cannot be self-closed, at least in some versions of HTML). The [[Job openings]] page had a similar issue where it was using <tt></div></tt>, but not <tt><div></tt>. |
|||
If you see any pages now displaying incorrectly with no recent changes (in the page history) to the underlying code, the disablement of Tidy is likely the cause. Please note issues here so that they may be corrected on the entire site and not just as people notice them. |
|||
Thanks. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] 09:54, 1 November 2009 (UTC) |

== TransWiki == |
|||
Hello, |
|||
I am wondering, the WMF sites supports the transwiki function but is there a special reason why we just copy paste the translations to here? Because when it would be imported it would keep the history in tact? |

Best, |

:Hi Huib. While we are technically able to import pages directly from Meta, we usually don't because the entire process can just be messy (eg. formatting differences, such as translation templates) and there really isn't a good reason to. Keeping the translation process (and the history pages) on Meta just works best. --[[User:Az1568|Az1568]] 17:42, 9 August 2010 (UTC) |
|||
:Yeah, Alex is right. We don't use the import function because it just doesn't make sense to use it. We don't just copy-paste the translations, we usually have to update links, make sure everything's functioning properly and nothing was missed in the translation, etc. We also have to remove the Meta-Wiki templates that are used there (like [[m:Template:Translation2]]). Using import just overly complicates this and makes it more difficult for us to clean things up. In addition, it makes us need to maintain two different histories on two different wikis, which just causes more issues. It's much easier and cleaner to just link to the Meta-Wiki source page like we do now ("[[m:Translation requests/WMF/PAGE]]").

(4 to 5 edits per minute.) --[[User:Meno25|Meno25]] ([[User talk:Meno25|talk]]) 12:31, 10 September 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:Hi Meno25, thanks for your work so far! I'm not sure that running the spell checking script on letters or personal pieces of work is the best idea, but it would be a good idea for the generic information pages, such as the [[Frequently asked questions|FAQ]] (although that's currently being worked on, so I wouldn't do it on that one yet), [[Our projects]] etc. Any of the Resolutions probably shouldn't be touched, and the same would apply for donation pages - do you have a list of pages in mind that you would run the script on, or was this intended to be for the whole wiki? With regards to using a new bot account, I don't believe we use bot accounts here, but I'll leave that to someone else to comment on.

: This seems fine to me to run under your main account with the caveats that Thehelpfulone mentioned. In short, you cannot touch a certain subset of pages on this wiki, even if they contain typos or other obvious errors. As long as you're very careful, it's no problem to fix up spelling and grammar mistakes. :-) --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 21:51, 10 September 2012 (UTC) |

: I will say that when I see edits such as [https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=User:Tim_Shell&diff=83645&oldid=6771 this one] from earlier today, it makes me very hesitant to trust you to make bulk changes to this wiki. These templates were mis-placed on user pages instead of user talk pages. The reason for humans to exist is to make judgments such as "this is the wrong place, let me move the template before substituting it." You apparently removed the human judgment and acted more like a bot, which is very worrying. You ''must'' be careful or you risk making the site worse rather than better. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 21:55, 10 September 2012 (UTC) |

::@Thehelpfulone: Thank you for your comment. Actually creating a dedicated bot account is better so as not to flood recent changes but I am fine with running the script under my account. The list of pages is found [[User:Meno25/sandbox|here]]. Feel free to add or remove pages to it. |
|||
::@MZMcBride: Some users like to have the welcome template on their userpages because it contains a lot of useful links. I thought this was the case here and that the template wasn't misplaced.

Also I have made some changes to [[meta:Vision]], removing one message that I don't think is useful on that page (and isnt on the wmfwiki page)[https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vision&diff=5548032&oldid=5391963], and Croatian will also be 100% when the meta translation status update. |
|||
I'm happy to do the sync of those pages, but want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. |
|||
However we have a problem: [[Visión]] is both [[meta:Vision/gl|Galician]] and [[meta:Vision/es|Spanish]]. How do we normally solve that problem on wmfwiki? [[User:John Vandenberg|John Vandenberg]] ([[User talk:John Vandenberg|talk]]) 07:48, 8 June 2013 (UTC) |

:I've marked some of them done. I would appreciate a review before I add them to {{tl|MissionLang}} and continue doing some more. |
|||
:I figured out that wmfwiki would use [[Visión (gl)]] and [[Visión (es)]]. |
|||
:Throwing another question out there. wmfwiki doesnt have [[m:template:unicode]], so I dropped it for [[Мисијата]]. It looks OK on firefox/linux as I would expect - I am guessing it may not render correctly on some other configurations.

== English on main page or "en" sub page == |
|||
Pages that are manually translated often have both the "Subject" and "Subject/en" page. Some of them are equal, some of them are out of sync, others redirect from one to the other. I'd like us to standardise this. |
|||
The odd ones I found are: [[Donor policy]] (out of sync), [[Tax Deductibility]] (redirects from subject to /en) and [[Cancel or change recurring payments]] (redirects from /en to subject). If these are exceptions and there is already an established consensus for how it should be, I'd be happy to hear that and apply it accordingly. |
|||
Either way, the solution should take into account that the links put in fundraiser banners right now (such as [https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:LandingCheck?landing_page=Cancel_or_change_recurring_payments&basic=true&country=NL&language=en&uselang=en Special:LandingCheck?landing_page=Cancel_or_change_recurring_payments&language=en]) point to the /en sub page. So the /en sub page should not be a redirect - to avoid adding additional "''(Redirected from ..)''" clutter to a page that is frequently linked to. –[[User:Krinkle|Krinkle]] ([[User talk:Krinkle|talk]]) 02:10, 17 September 2013 (UTC) |

: Do we have a list of pages where there's "Foo" and "Foo/en", preferably with an indication of which is a redirect (if either)? That would be very helpful in this discussion, I think. |
|||
: Generally, when you say "out of sync," I'm not sure I follow. Shouldn't all of these cases have one of the titles be a redirect to the other? |
|||
: Regarding the "redirected from..." text, we can use CSS to hide it and/or the fundraising team can update its code. In any case, I doubt many people notice the "redirected from..." text besides obsessive Wikimedians like you and me. I'm not sure it's really clutter as much as it is a minor nuisance to established users. ;-) --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 02:31, 17 September 2013 (UTC) |

Can this site be classified as semi-fishbowl
As unregistered users cannot edit or translate anything and registered users only have ablity to edit talk pages and user pages, and translating content, also creating an account is disabled. Can this wiki be considered "semi-fishbowl"? ToadetteEdit (talk) 20:03, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
- @ToadetteEdit: Can you elaborate? Considered for what purpose and where? --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 03:28, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
Translations of Board meetings
There seems to be a problem with the section titles for translations of this page. --Ameisenigel (talk) 11:30, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Ameisenigel: Thank you for letting us know! This has now been fixed. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 19:45, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Request for translation administrator rights
Hi, I have been cleaning up some vandalism in my capacity as a global sysop. Since I am not a translation admin here, I am not able to delete translated pages (like Agenda:2016-04-22/bm, not a translation). Therefore I request translation administrator rights according to the Wikimedia:Accounts policy. Thanks, --Ameisenigel (talk) 09:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Ameisenigel: Thank you for your help! I have gone ahead and setup these rights. Thank you again! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 22:20, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
In Special:Diff/361758 LincolnBot changed the "cat_prefix" parameter to "cat prefix" in Template:Decade years navbox. Note "cat_suffix" was not changed. By changing the parameter, Template:DMCA category by year (which uses the "cat_prefix" parameter) no longer links to the correct categories. For example, as of 27 March 2024 if you go to Category:DMCA 2023 you'll see that in the DMCA category by year nav box that "2022" no longer links to Category:DMCA 2022, it instead is linking to Category:2022. This is because the template Template:Decade years navbox is no longer recognizing the prefix passed in by Template:DMCA category by year. —RP88 (talk) 19:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- @RP88: This has been fixed - apologies for the error - and thank you for the alert! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 19:49, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
If I read the en.wikipedia TfD discussion correctly, the function of this module has replaced by strict library of Scribunto extension, and as it has no linked-in pages, do we really need a reason to keep it? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
