[edit] Search

[taken from the 2011 archive]

Although it is not a common task, but I mention that the improved search makes it harder to create subpages for community pages, which is necessary when someone would like to translate them. The search now offers to create them under the prefix of a test wiki, so I have to make a draft page with the correct name that I want to use and start editing following that red link. (To see what I mean, try to enter Incubator:News/de into the search box, and you will see that it will not be offered to create the page under that name.) - Xbspiro 23:42, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
I didn't notice your comment because it was not really below on this page :-) Anyway, I know the search is far from perfect, but what you can do temporarily is to enter "Incubator" in the "testwiki" input above the page suggestion. But it's certainly on my to do list to make it take into account the given namespace. SPQRobin 19:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Was quite simple, fixed in r110747. SPQRobin 13:05, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Template A/B testing

I forgot whether it was already mentioned somewhere here, but there is a project on meta, m:Template A/B testing in order to make "experiments with Wikipedia templates, especially user talk templates delivered via bots"; in other words, it is tested if people react better to one version of a template than another. See m:Template A/B testing/Draft space for examples.

Now, someone listed Incubator there as a wiki where the usage was "proposed". Therefore, I'd like to start a discussion about whether/where we could make use of it. My opinion: The only occasion when we approach users with a standardized template is the automatic welcome when they register. We could make more versions of it (e.g. with different formulations, appeals etc.) and test that. Useful or not? How good, do you think, is the resonance to our {{Welcome}}?

Additionally, I have the idea that we could also test different styles of Manual / Documentation, but that is not done through user talk template messages, so probably unrelated here [I didn't really dig deep into the technical details of this]. --MF-W {a, b} 21:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I think that we could test different styles. Useful. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 21:33, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
Do you have some ideas for the styles? --MF-W {a, b} 21:18, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
No, but I think that different styles would be a good idea. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 11:33, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
Then we have the same opinion :-) I'll see whether I can make different styles in the next days. --MF-W {a, b} 21:55, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
Good. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 00:53, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

See Template:Welcome-template/Variants for some ideas I had. Feel free to edit/add/remove. --MF-W {a, b} 01:50, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for starting this! I'm going to go ahead and set up the infrastructure needed to test and document everything, and (if that's okay) make some edits or suggestions on templates myself. Cheers, Steven (WMF) 22:16, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Okay, I'm done with the logistics. All we have to do is finalize the template variants, move them to the individual templates (yet to be created) which are listed at Template:Welcome-template-rand, and then pick a start/end date. Steven (WMF) 23:36, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Labs (MediaWiki 1.19)

For your information: [1] --MF-W {a, b} 19:34, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Coolness! So now we have one at http://incubator.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org :) I wrote on the page there what is new in 1.19 SPQRobin 21:26, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] No understand

No entiendo mucho que se hace aqui , si alguien me pudiera explicar,para poder yo ayudar gracias Carliitaeliza 16:36, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Este es un wiki de la Fundación Wikimedia, que incluye muchas "sub-wikis", que son versiones de prueba de Wikipedia, Wikcionario, Wikilibros en otros idiomas. Made with G. Translate... --MF-W {a, b} 16:54, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit]

So about the SOPA protest on enwiki. So how about adding a sitenotice stating that the en wikipedia is on "strike". This might affect some wikis that take info from en.wiki. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 21:46, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. --MF-W {a, b} 21:49, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
Putting it on timer for Sitenotice. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 23:13, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
It will be:
{{#ifexpr:{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} <= 20120119050000|The English Wikipedia ([[en:]]) is blacked out for 2 bills, called the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT-IP Act.

:::The Wikipedia community has decided to blackout the English version of Wikipedia for 24 hours in protest of proposed legislation — the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the PROTECT-IP Act (PIPA) in the U.S. Senate — that, if passed, will harm the free and open Internet. These bills endanger free speech both in the United States and abroad, potentially setting a frightening precedent of Internet censorship for the world.}}

I made it a one-sentence notice. Incubator is a very low-volume site and I would rather not "interrupt" the few users we have with such a banner. SPQRobin 16:39, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Problem with pipe characters

Bonjour à tous, il semble que dans certaines conditions des caractères | sont ajoutés au début des liens internes même si ils y sont déjà présents : voir ce diff, ce qui amène une rupture des liens internes et une désorganisation complète de la page. J'ai l'impression que cela pourrait venir du gadget Addprefix, mais est-ce que quelqu'un en saurait plus et pourrait tenter de réparer ce bug ? --Awkiku 10:03, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello everybody, it seems that under certain conditions pipe characters (|) are added at the beginning of internal links even when they are already there : see this diff, which breaks the internal links and completely messes up the page. I feel like this could come from the Addprefix gadget, but does someone know more about that and could be able to fix the bug ? --Awkiku 10:03, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Le gadget ajoute 2 au lieu d'un. Je ne suis pas bon au js, alors demande un utilisateur listé comme administrateur. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 11:53, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
C'est bizarre, je n'ai pas été de nouveau confronté à ce bug, pourtant il me semblait l'avoir déjà vu plusieurs fois, je n'arrive plus à le reproduire, tant mieux...--Awkiku 16:22, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Templates

How can we create and use templates on a test-wiki ? Thanks you, Amqui 12:22, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

By creating them in the template namespace, but with a prefix in their title, e.g. Template:Wn/li/Image label. You can use them then with the code {{Wx/xxx/Name}}. --MF-W {a, b} 15:38, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Should I include the namespace again after Wp/mic/ (ex: Template:Wp/mic/Template:Image label) ? i.e. Will the pages will be move in the Template namespace when the wiki will be created if I don't include it after Wp/mic/ ? Amqui 18:03, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
No, Template:Wp/mic/Image label is sufficient. This page is already in the template namespace then. When mic.wikipedia.org will be created, only the "Wp/mic/" will be removed from the page names, so you will get "Template:Image label". --MF-W {a, b} 18:28, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Good, thanks you. Maybe it's because I don't know where to look, but it doesn't seem to talk about that in the Help pages. Amqui 18:51, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

P.S. Do you know a bot who can rename a page with all its sub-pages (and maybe delete or add the delete template on the old page) ? Amqui 18:53, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

It is possible for administrators to rename a page with all subpages. I can do it for you. --MF-W {a, b} 19:20, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Template:Wp/mic/Template:Pictures to Template:Wp/mic/Random picture (with numbered sub-pages) please and delete all redirects. Thanks you and sorry for that extra work. Amqui 19:22, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Done. Don't worry, that only cost me 2 clicks. --MF-W {a, b} 19:39, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

I have a question again. How can I add some div classes in the Mediawiki's Common.css for a wiki in the incubator ? I think it would also make sense to translate those so we can start including them in the good language in the articles before the creation of the real wiki. I was thinking of adding a section at the end of the global Common.css of the incubator for Wp/mic, but I would need admin rights to be able to edit it and it'll have to be imported manually once the mic.wiki is created. Is there a way to have one for the wiki in the incubator ? Amqui 01:42, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

What code? Also, I'll be finding a way. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 10:48, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm talking about the MediaWiki:Common.css for some of the classes that we can include in <div class="blabla">. Amqui 14:05, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure whether it's possible to define things in commons.css just for one test wiki... I assume you meant that the class would receive a name in Micmac and would (preferably) only be used in wp/mic? Could you say what a class you have in mind? --MF-W {a, b} 17:54, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
What CSS would you like to add? Also note that it is technically possible to create test wiki specific style pages ("Wp/xyz/MediaWiki:Common.css/js"), if there is much demand for that. SPQRobin 20:29, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
For the moment the classes I have in mind are the one under /* BANDEAUX D'AVERTISSEMENT */ in French wiki Common.css, maybe that's only because I'm used to use them. But as it is going I can see the need for new ones arise. Amqui 21:30, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
So... ? Amqui 21:43, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
(Per IRC, translator rights given so you can edit MediaWiki:Common.css) SPQRobin 00:43, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
(Per IRC, thanks you) Amqui 02:13, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Translate extension

Recently the Translate extension, from translatewiki.net, has been installed on MetaWiki and MediaWiki.org to facilitate translation. Do you agree with installing it here as well, for our documentation pages like Help:Manual, Help:FAQ and also e.g. Main Page? Regards, SPQRobin 18:41, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, please. Maybe someday, MediaWiki translations could be done this way too, eliminating the "translator" userright. Also for the wikis, so going to another site is unessesary. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 20:10, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
bug 34213 submitted. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 19:51, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Yes, this extension is going to help us quite a bit regarding translations, as the translators can translate string by string, and not translating the entire page. However, it doesn't look like it will eliminate the translator userright, as per the original translatewiki.net, but yes its going to be very useful :) --Hydriz 10:48, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Actually, it will, because it will be implemented as on Meta, so anyone can translate. See mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration. The most important advantage is that it will make updating translations easier (=fuzzy). SPQRobin 11:49, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

It's enabled now. SPQRobin 15:28, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I have prepared the translation copies for Help:Manual and Incubator:Main Page. I'm announcing it here as the translations of the pages will need lots of work after. Is it fine to continue? Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 21:34, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I think we should still wait at least for Main Page, because it has a complex structure with templates etc. This should only be moved to the Special:Translate system when we are sure that it is working properly and have tested it already on other pages, like Help:Language support. --MF-W {a, b} 21:50, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
So for Help:Manual, it's okay? We are testing it on LangSupport and for now it's working fine. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 21:54, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
I'll be proceeding. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 23:24, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

We have several pages now converted to using the new translate feature, it may be good to stop here for now as we need to update translations and as it is also a chance to update some documentation/pages. Please also do not mark pages such as I:RFD for translation because each time someone edits the page, it would need to update all translations. So I'm going to remove the translation there. It may be better to integrate policy stuff on I:P where it can be translated. SPQRobin 02:03, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

For pages like I:RFD, it could be made into a header to translate, and use noinclude tags. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 12:19, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Vep-wiki administration

Hello. This Wiki opened some days ago, but it has no administrators. I think stewards, who read it, can give admin flag for users Igriks and Игорь Бродский. There are speak Vepsian as native, and they have knowledge of Wikimedia rules. Thank you--Tamara Ustinova 18:20, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

It would be the best to hold an election on vep.wiki, and then request access on m:SRP. --MF-W {a, b} 18:57, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Edit buttons don't work any more

Hello. I just saw, that the edit buttons don't work any more. Why? I suppoze, that the update to the softvare version 1.19 is the cause. Who can repair this, please? Greetings --Tlustulimu (talk) 15:04, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Which edit buttons? Those at the start of each section? And in which way do they not work? --MF-W {a, b} 15:13, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
I think that asking about which page, and the computer or internet configuration. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 11:04, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
He's referring to the edit bar above the edit form. It doesn't display here, but it's working on other wikis. SPQRobin (talk) 12:09, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Now it does work for me. (FYI: a related bug is bugzilla:34885) SPQRobin (talk) 02:45, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Configuration updates

I propose these updates to configuration settings:

  • wgUploadNavigationUrl (link in toolbox): /wiki/Incubator:Upload' → /wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Incubator:Upload
  • wgUploadMissingFileUrl: //commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload
  • Remove namespace Lost, Lost_talk (only page is Lost:Incubator namespace)
  • wmgBabelUseUserLanguage = true (is the case on Commons, this sets the Babel header and footer in the user language)
  • Add 'translationadmin' to wgRemoveGroups for bureaucrats (I think this should be set for all wikis, but well, I'll just request it for Incubator) so we can remove translation admin rights via Special:UserRights

SPQRobin (talk) 03:00, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

I support these proposed changes.  Hazard-SJ  ±  04:03, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
I support it also. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 13:37, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Deciding specifics of testing the welcome bot

Hi everyone. In of this question and my answer, I wanted to check in about Incubator:Template testing and the welcome message test in particular. Would folks like to end it soon and get to work on analyzing the data, or wait until the two month mark now that March 14th has passed? (For reference, our research questions for the test are here.) Best regards, Steven (WMF) (talk) 18:11, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

I think it can't harm to wait another month. The more data we have to look at, the better. --MF-W {a, b} 18:48, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Okay, sounds good to me too. Steven (WMF) (talk) 19:53, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion over number of test wiki pages

Two issues: 1) I noticed on our main page that Template:Wp/tyv/NUMBEROFARTICLES is called in order to display the number of pages in the test wiki. Looking at the template, it calls the magic word PAGESINCATEGORY:Wp/tyv. The template page says there's 53 articles while the main page says there's 24 articles! 2) This text appears on Category:Wp/tyv, which is in opposition with the seeming behavior of PAGESINCATEGORY: "This category is for categories in the Tuvan Wikipedia. The only article in it should be the main page of that language." If I remove all of the test wiki's articles from its main category as per these instructions and leave only the categories and the main page, the main page displays the wrong number of articles in the test wiki. What's going on? --Боршоди Стейcи (talk) 16:01, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

We (Incubator admins) discourage using Category:Wx/xyz, because we remove prefixes when importing to a new wiki, but for the root category we cannot remove it. Still, it is unfortunately a common practice to categorize everything in that category, and then make such NUMBEROFARTICLES templates for page counting. This is not recommended, also because (explaining your first issue) the template is cached so the number remains the same as long as nobody edits the page. I did a null edit, which doesn't save anything but reparses the page so the template says 24 too now. We do not however have a good alternative for counting pages of a test wiki. SPQRobin (talk) 17:01, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Wp/bbj

All pages in this test seem to be French. My French is insufficient to know whether these are coordinating pages (then they should be placed in a Wikipedia namespace) or personal propaganda. --OWTB (talk) 10:13, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

I see Vugar already deleted Wp/bbj/Ndop. --OWTB (talk) 13:53, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
İs it wrong action? --N KOziTalk 05:57, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
I don't know, the use of French is not really correct, but I can't judge those texts, so we have to wait until another admin reacts. --OWTB (talk) 14:21, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

For information, a list of all the Wp/bbj pages:

  1. :Wp/bbj/Coordonateur
  2. :Wp/bbj/Equipe
  3. :Wp/bbj/Jujube
  4. :Wp/bbj/Nkeng
  5. :Wp/bbj/Rites
  6. :Wp/bbj/Sèleng
  7. :Wp/bbj/kwítə̀
  8. :Wp/bbj/ntʉ̂m_é
  9. :Wp/bbj/nə́tôꞌ
  10. :Wp/bbj/wokeupeudie
  11. Talk:Wp/bbj

To me, most of them can be deleted as they merely talk about some persons (but not in an encyclopedic way) or describe some plants in French, also not in an encyclopedic way. --MF-W {a, b} 14:32, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

@all: Uhm, isn't it obvious that the first step should be contacting the user? SPQRobin (talk) 14:38, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Well, if it is clearly vandalism there's no need for that. --OWTB (talk) 14:44, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
In my opinion, if you have to ask here, the vandalism isn't that "clear". It is always better to contact the user than not doing so even if he's a vandal, sometimes they just don't know they are doing vandalism. Amqui (talk) 03:00, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
I have now asked him. --MF-W {a, b} 13:35, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
français À mon avis, il y a une incompréhension, car ces pages sont écrites en français sur la culture Ghomala', et non pas en Ghomala'. Ces pages sont écrites en bon français, mais non sourcées. Certaines contiennent une ébauche de plan, peut-être avec l'intention de les développer plus tard en Ghomala'. Il n'y a en tout cas pas de vandalisme, mais peut-être que l'utilisateur a besoin d'aide et d'explications, de préférence en français.
english In my opinion, there is a misunderstanding. These pages are written in French about the Ghomala' culture, and not in Ghomala'. They are written in correct French, but lack sourcing. Some look like the outline for a page, maybe with the intention to develop them later in Ghomala'. In any case, there is no vandalism here, but maybe the user needs help and explanation (preferably in French). --Awkiku (talk) 12:28, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Templates (again)

Is there a way to import templates from another wiki to the Incubator ? The use of extension might create some difficulties for that. Amqui (talk) 02:33, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Well, just copy-paste from the wiki but put the history link in the edit summary. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 21:16, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
I did already for simple templates, but ones with a lot of sub-templates might be harder. Anyway, I'm only looking at en:Template:coord for now, so if an admin could import it on Wp/mic it would be appreciate. Thank you, Wela'lin Amqui (talk) 23:56, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
It is not a good idea to import/copy from the English Wikipedia, as it is too complicated for such small wikis here on Incubator. (Ideally we have a set of default simple templates that any test wiki can start with.) SPQRobin (talk) 00:05, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Fair enough. Amqui (talk) 22:25, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Magic words like "Template", "Category", ...

Hello all, can someone tel me where to translate the magic words like "Template" or "Category" ? --Mmistmurt (talk) 18:07, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

You would need to create new namespaces, and for that you usually go on Bugzilla. I'm not sure if they create those right on the Incubator or you have to wait to have your own Wikipedia (or other project). I hope somebody from the Incubator will answer that part of the question. Amqui (talk) 20:45, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Magic words are something else, see mw:Help:Magic words for that. The namespaces "Template" and "Category" can only remain in English here, so for Wt/kab, you need to use "Category:Wt/kab/Title" and "Template:Wt/kab/Title". Any other namespace should be "Wt/kab/Namespace:Title", but these are pseudo-namespaces and can only be created after the wiki is created. Both magic words and namespaces can be translated via translatewiki:Special:AdvancedTranslate (translated magic words can be used here, translated namespaces only on a separate wiki). SPQRobin (talk) 20:55, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your help and for your quick replyAmqui and SPQRobin. --Mmistmurt (talk) 21:07, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Bot requests

Hello,

Many taxoboxes have been created in the kichwa test-wiki (Wp/qug) with bad red links without prefixes (see Wp/qug/Rumi challwa for an example). This is a problem, as clicking on these red links will create articles in the main space instead of the test wiki, and if the article is created at the correct location with prefix, then the link will stay red in all the other taxoboxes. So this has prevented me so far to write general pages such as Mammalia, chordata etc. since linking them manually to all the involved taxoboxes would be a hassle. As the number of pages concerned is relatively important (I would say a couple of hundreds), is it possible to have a bot perform the following task:

  • In all the Wp/qug pages, check inside model {{Wp/qug/Taxobox ... }} for links of the form [[|foobar]], where foobar is any string of character not including |
  • When a match is found, replace the link with [[Wp/qug/foobar|foobar]].

In principle, if the number of articles checked matters, it would be sufficient to perform this in the articles contained in Category:Wp/qug/Kawsaymanta yachaykuna (life sciences).

If someone would be so kind as to do this, I would be very grateful. I hope this is the right place for such a request.

Yours, --Awkiku (talk) 10:34, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

I started to try this, but with little success as I am unable to find a proper regex that does it; so I added some links and their replacements manually - bot edits. I'll continue to try to find a proper solution unless someone else wants to do it. --MF-W {a, b} 15:23, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Thank you very much for this work, actually the bot edits are quite good ([2]). In a couple of cases it is not perfect, but if you could run it on all the pages in the kichwa test wiki that would be great, it would do much more good than bad. --Awkiku (talk) 08:39, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
I've now run the bot on all the pages on Category:Wp/qug/Kawsaymanta yachaykuna. If you'd like another run to replace the remaining wrong links, feel free to request it (preferably with a list of the links in question). --MF-W {a, b} 15:32, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi, thank you very much for the work, yes it did a great job on many pages. On some pages it corrected only a part of the links ([3]) but I think a majority of the links is OK, thank you very much, after some time I shall be able to see whether the missing links are a few or a lot, and if I can provide a list of links that are systematically concerned. --Awkiku (talk) 15:03, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Test wiki adminship

I would like to be made a test-administrator at Santali wikipedia project(wp/sat). I am already on santali language translation project according to the incubator.But Unfortunately I culdn't set my Santali Language(Sat) at "My Preference".Please help me,what should I do now?

Are you talking about setting the interface language to Santali or about setting your main test-wiki to Santali ? Amqui (talk) 00:05, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Yes. Please help me about both topics and specially for "My preference". Because I couldn't select the "Santali" as my language at "My Preference". samar88
Here, on the Incubator, you can't "select" your main test-wiki in your preferences, you select the project (i.e. Wikipedia, Wikinews, etc.), but you type in the language code in the appropriate box below under Internationalisation. For the interface language, Santali language isn't set yet, so you'll have to start it on translatewiki if it's not done already and after that to fill a bug for the developers to add the support for it. Don't hesitate if you have anymore questions, Amqui (talk) 00:57, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

The situation is the following: On Special:Preferences, you can select:

  • Language: - "sat - Santali" is not showing up there because your translations from translatewiki.net are not yet added to the MediaWiki code itself. This will probably done when you translated the 500 most used messages; you can request in on translatewiki:Support. This preference is responsible for displaying the software in your language.
  • Test wiki: - Here you choose the project (like Wikipedia)
  • Test wiki language: - Here you enter your language code, sat in your case. These preferences are responsible for helping you to edit the Santali Wikipedia test project here on Incubator. --MF-W {a, b} 12:00, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] ISO translation

Where can I change the translation of an ISO code? In Swedish ”grc” is now ”forngrekiska” which isn’t the proper name for Ancient Greek. It should be ”klassisk grekiska”. Lundgren8 (talk) 23:45, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Official translation (by ISO) of a ISO 639-3 code is not done, but you may change it on the wiki. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 00:13, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi, these translations are from an external repository, CLDR. You can find information on how to submit changes at translatewiki:Language_support_team/CLDR-2012, although the process is quite difficult unfortunately. Regards, SPQRobin (talk) 00:49, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
