== [[Template:Disclaimer for translation]] == |
|||
Hello. I would like to tell you a few things. In your earlier edit, you changed the text in the template to the italic type, which is problematic for people in some areas. In some countries in East Asia, such as Japan, or other regions, the type is not used or common. It is because the italic type is a typeface used for handwriting in Western languages. Please understand that some areas do not use this. Also, if you don't mind, please improve the template so that it can display text switching types. Thank you. --[[User:TKsdik8900|TKsdik8900]] ([[User talk:TKsdik8900|talk]]) 06:43, 8 February 2023 (UTC) |

:{{ping|TKsdik8900}}Interesting - and good to know - thank you! I will make note of that and also work to improve the template over the coming weeks. Thank you for your constructive feedback - it is greatly appreciated!

== Spam to delete == |

[[User:Cssq]] is a cross-wiki vandal. I'm posting to your talk because you are one of the only few admins who have been active in the past several years. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 20:42, 27 May 2023 (UTC) |

:Thank you @[[User:Koavf|Koavf]] for the notice. I have gone ahead and blocked them here as well. --[[User:GVarnum-WMF|Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him]]] ([[User talk:GVarnum-WMF|talk]]) 06:49, 1 June 2023 (UTC) |

== Possible translate import problem == |
|||
Hello Gregory. We think there may be a problem with the translate, import, or PageMigration extension losing licensing information. (c.f. [[:meta:Special:PermaLink/25261954]]). I'll open a ticket for the issue. |
|||
Can you provide exact step-by-step directions for how you are making edits such as [https://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Translations:Policy:Terms_of_Use/Frequently_asked_questions_on_paid_contributions_without_disclosure/37/zh&action=history this one]? Notice that while it certainly says you made the page, it suggests it came from elsewhere, but does not include any attribution of where it came from. |
|||
Thank you! (Please ping on reply). [[User:Xaosflux|Xaosflux]] ([[User talk:Xaosflux|talk]]) 11:55, 5 July 2023 (UTC) |

: Could you please answer this? It's now being discussed at [[m:Steward requests/Miscellaneous]] [[User:Pppery|Pppery]] ([[User talk:Pppery|talk]]) 16:38, 21 August 2023 (UTC) |

::It was done using Translate extension's import feature. The licensing and overall shortcomings of that feature are being discussed by the Language team within the Foundation - and some work is already underway at [[phab:T329043|T329043]]. --[[User:GVarnum-WMF|Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him]]] ([[User talk:GVarnum-WMF|talk]]) 00:52, 22 August 2023 (UTC) |

== UCoC and AGF == |
|||
Hi Gregory. I asked a question regarding the UCoC's AGF provision in June at [[Policy talk:Universal Code of Conduct#AGF]] and haven't received a response as yet. You seem, judging by previous discussions on that page, to be the WMF's go-to person for answering UCoC questions.

== Translation admin == |
|||
Hello. As a global sysop, I pop by occasionally to delete vandalism and sometimes, some translation pages are involved and it'll be ideal to delete the whole page as blank or no having a translation. As such, is it possible for me to get local translation admin rights so I can cleanup useless translations easily?. [[User:Minorax|Minorax]] ([[User talk:Minorax|talk]]) 04:19, 20 September 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:@[[User:Minorax|Minorax]]: Yes! Happy to do so - thank you for your help! I have also requested [[meta:Steward_requests/Miscellaneous#Granting_'pagetranslation'_and_'translate-manage'_rights_to_'global-sysop'_group_on_foundation.wikimedia.org|help from Stewards]] and working on [[phab:T346187|Phabricator]] to get this access for all Global sysops moving forward. Thank you for reaching out. --[[User:GVarnum-WMF|Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him]]] ([[User talk:GVarnum-WMF|talk]]) 22:45, 20 September 2023 (UTC) |

::Hello. Thanks for giving me the translation admin right here. However, I'm facing issues where the pages cannot be deleted as I'm not allowed to edit pages due to namespace restrictions listed at [[Special:ListGroupRights]]. Is it possible for you to discuss with the team to add the <code>edit-legal</code> right to the TA user group? [[User:Minorax|Minorax]] ([[User talk:Minorax|talk]]) 05:13, 21 September 2023 (UTC) |
