[edit] Betawiki: better support for your language in MediaWiki

Dear community. I am writing to you to promote a special wiki called Betawiki. This wiki facilitates the localisation (l10n) of the MediaWiki interface. You may have changed many messages here on this wiki to use your language, but if you would log in to for example the English language Wiktionary, you would not be able to use the interface as well translated as here. Infact, of the 1793 messages in the core of MediaWiki, 0 messages have been translated. Betawiki also supports the translation of messages of almost 80 extensions, with 984 messages.

If you wish to contribute to better support of your language in MediaWiki, as well as for many MediaWiki extensions, please visit Betawiki, create an account and request translator priviledges. You can see the current status of localisation of your language on meta and do not forget to get in touch with others that may already be working on your language on Betawiki.

If you have any further questions, please let me know on my talk page on Betawiki. We will try and assist you as much as possible, for example by importing all messages from a local wiki for you to start with, if you so desire.

You can also find us on the Freenode IRC network in the channel #mediawiki-i18n where we would be happy to help you get started.

Thank you very much for your attention and I do hope to see some of you on Betawiki soon! Cheers! Siebrand@Betawiki 08:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Automatic or Manually Assisted: mostly automatic in autonomous mode; sometimes manually assisted to solve interwiki conflicts
  • Programming Language(s): pywikipedia (source code)
  • Function Summary: interwiki links
  • Already has a bot flag on: global bot running on more than 200 wikipedias.

Further technical information is available on its main page. Thank you in advance. Regards, --Julian 18:21, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Not done, now has global bot access on this wiki. —Pathoschild 06:40:33, 03 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bot policy

Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable), which form the vast majority of such requests. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.

This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. Please read the text at m:Bot policy before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in one week if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. --Luckas Blade 15:40, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Implemented. —Pathoschild 06:35:37, 03 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit]

Hello!

The Wikimedia Foundation recently updated the official Wikipedia globe. We realize that a lot of projects have never had a localized logo in their native language, so we are making sure that we create logos for every Wikipedia project that we have. The only issue is: we can't figure out what should be on your localized logo. :-)

Could you please provide a translation for the following?

  • Wikipedia
  • The Free Encyclopedia

Please put the translation on my Meta talk page. Thank you! Cbrown1023 discussion 00:48, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Fundraising 2010

Hello Wikimedians,

As many of you are aware, we are now two months away from the Fundraiser for the Wikimedia Foundation, 2010. We have lofty goals, and we can meet them and exceed them!

The meta translators are already actively engaged in the annual drive to distribute our messages and we encourage you to do the same, but we would like to point everyone to the developments we've made in banner messages- from creation to commentary to the ones that will go live for test and for the drive itself in November. It's one of our goals to make sure that all volunteers know that there is a place for them in the Fundraising drive. We've started the setup on meta for both banner submission, statistical analysis, and grouping volunteers together that would like to find specific focus and work in that area.

This year the Wikimedia Foundation is taking a proactive stance in reaching out to each and every Wikimedia project and volunteer to find innovation, collaboration, and collation of ideas from the community driven process. The staff working on this is comprised of long-time Wikimedians with as much care and concern for the success of this drive as the volunteers, and we want you to actively participate and have a voice.

Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to others, talk to us. Engagement is what we strive for, without each other we would never had made Wikimedia succeed. Everyone is welcome to contact any of us on staff at any time with a timely response to follow. We actively encourage focusing discussion on meta so we can all work together.

Please translate this message into your language if you can and post it below.

See you on the wiki! Keegan, WMF Fundraiser 2010 05:57, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Fundraising and your wiki

Greetings, please translate this message if you can.

Fundraising 2010 is preparing to start, and we want your project to be a part of the global movement to support free knowledge. The Wikimedia Foundation is engaging with local communities that build the projects to play an active part in this year's fundraiser. This year we will be working to best serve all the language communities by providing messages that are best suited for each location.

To do this, we need your help. We are testing messages and we want to be sure that our messages will work with your language. If it does not and your community can come up with your own banner in the spirit of supporting free knowledge, we invite you to submit your proposals and be active in this process. Wikimedia is for you, join us in supporting free knowledge in your local community! Keegan, WMF Fundraiser 2010 05:00, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Beat Jimmy

Please translate this message.

The Fundraising Committee is issuing all interested community members a challenge: we want you to beat Jimmy. The appeal from Jimmy Wales and the corresponding banner have been tested head-to-head with other successful banners, and the results are clear: it's our best performing message... by a lot. This year we have a lofty fundraising goal; we need all of our banners to bring in donations like the Jimmy Appeal, but no one wants to keep the Jimmy banner up for two months. We want to run donor quotes, and other wonderful ideas, but we have to have banners that work as well as or better than the Jimmy appeal.

We've just released the highlights from a donor focus group, and the results of our donor survey. With one month to the launch of the fundraiser, the messages we test must be driven by data from our tests and surveys - we can no longer rely on instinct alone.

We've redesigned our fundraising meta pages with the Jimmy challenge; check out the survey results and propose/discuss banners that reflect these findings. Add the banners you think will 'beat Jimmy' here to be tested Tuesday October 12 against Jimmy. Keegan, WMF Fundraiser 2010 02:56, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Terms of Use update

I apologize that you are receiving this message in English. Please help translate it.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is discussing changes to its Terms of Use. The discussion can be found at Talk:Terms of use. Everyone is invited to join in. Because the new version of Terms of use is not in final form, we are not able to present official translations of it. Volunteers are welcome to translate it, as German volunteers have done at m:Terms of use/de, but we ask that you note at the top that the translation is unofficial and may become outdated as the English version is changed. The translation request can be found at m:Translation requests/WMF/Terms of Use 2 -- Maggie Dennis, Community Liaison 00:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit] 2011 Fundraising Is Almost Here

Wikimedia Foundation RGB logo with text.svg

Hello Wikipedians, my name is Alex and I am working for the Wikimedia Foundation during the 2011 Fundraiser. This year's fundraiser is intended to be a collaborative and global effort; we recognize that messages which may perform well in the United States don't necessarily translate well, or appeal to international audiences.

I'm contacting you as I am currently looking for volunteers who are willing to contribute to this project by helping translate and localize messages into your local language, suggesting community appeals for us to use, and to provide us with feedback on the Fundraising Meta Page. We've started the setup on meta for both translation, statistical analysis, and local discussion and testing. We actively encourage focusing discussion on meta so we can all work together.
Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to others, talk to us. Engagement is what we strive for, without each other we would never had made Wikimedia succeed. The staff working on this fundraiser is comprised of long-time Wikimedians with as much care and concern for the success of this drive as the volunteers, and we want you to actively participate and have a voice. Everyone is welcome to contact any of us on staff at any time with a timely response to follow. I look forward to working with you during this year's fundraiser.

If someone could translate this message I would really appreciate it so that everyone is able to understand our goals and contribute to this year's campaign.

[edit] Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.

The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:

  • Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
  • New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
  • The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
  • Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
  • Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
  • Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
  • The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
  • More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
  • Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
  • Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
  • Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.

Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 00:00, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] MediaWiki 1.19

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to upgrade MediaWiki (the software powering this wiki) to its latest version this month. You can help to test it before it is enabled, to avoid disruption and breakage. More information is available in the full announcement. Thank you for your understanding.

[edit] Import rights

Good day, I have requested the Import rights to be able to import templates from other Wikis to this Wiki. Just so you know, I have experience as administrator on other Native language Wikipedias. If you have anything against this request, please say so here. Néá'eshe, Amqui (talk) 01:41, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

  • What type of templates do you want to import? Why? What other uses will you make of the import right? Also I have moved this request from here to here. fr33kman 15:01, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
For now templates to display coordinates in title and languages in references, and other similar templates as we see the need arise. On a second note, can you explain why this page is more appropriate for this request ? The intro is only talking about bot permissions and if you look at the interwikis they send to bot authorization pages on other Wikis. Amqui (talk) 19:35, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
Done no objections - granted for 1 year fr33kman 23:51, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Sitename

Good day, I propose that we change the "sitename" to Tsétsêhéstâhese Wikipedia instead of only Wikipedia. This name, between other places, is used in the title of the window when on the Main Page. What do you think ? Amqui (talk) 19:09, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Seems like an improvement. Not finding any quick translation for "encyclopedia," support your suggestion. Djembayz (talk) 02:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
From experience with other Native language Wikipedias, I'm pretty sure we'll never find a real translation for "encyclopedia". The approach we explored for the Mik'maq Wikipedia was "the place to find things". Amqui (talk) 11:45, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Adminship

Good day, I propose myself as a temporary administrator on this Wiki to do some maintenance and development. I will be able to transwiki templates from other Wikis to be use on this one more easily and will be able to monitor it locally when we need to delete pages or move protected pages for example. I already monitor all its recent changes on a daily basis. I have experience as administrator on other Aboriginal language Wikipedias (Cree, Inuktitut and Mi'kmaq). If you have anything against this request, please edit this page and insert you reason below. Thank you, Néá'eshe. Amqui (talk) 21:50, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Would be helpful to see statistics on history page for pageviews, as in en:Wikipedia. This would give us some idea which areas are most in need of development. State and biography infoboxes would help too. Can you implement these things as an admin? Djembayz (talk) 02:52, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
In fact, you don't need admin tools to develop infobox templates. Everybody can do it. Admin tools allow to delete a page someone would have create for spam or simply by mistake and stuff like that. For example, the recent renaming of the Main page had to be performed by somebody with admin rights. Having an administrator locally will avoid having to go on Meta to ask a global sysop or a steward for a simple task. As far as pageviews go, could you point me to the link you have in mind for the English Wikipedia ? Amqui (talk) 11:48, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
For example, the article on Montana gets 85,000+ page views, according to the Page view statistics link on this page. Djembayz (talk) 03:17, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
You could always ask User:Henrik on the English Wikipedia. He is the one maintaining this website. Amqui (talk) 23:18, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
