Thank you VERY MUCH to help translating! :-) SPQRobin 12:18, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

you're welcome! :-) MF-Warburg 12:26, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
And, what do you think about that system? Is it user-friendly? SPQRobin 12:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
yes, but editing looks a bit curious at te first time (you see |eng, |fra , |deu etc.), but it's userfriendly. MF-Warburg 12:59, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[1] - That was when we didn't know we could edit the import file. Now it is possible to import the main page :-) SPQRobin 21:02, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I have made you sysop. This is easier for you. SPQRobin 12:13, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Would you like to help me and another guy to create a greek Wikiversity with your experience?

ok, why not, but I dont know Greek and you need 10 editors. Which user are you in wikiversity? MF-Warburg 12:17, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

With you we are 4 I am Diaza in Wikiversity beta. You can give us advice in order to make a successful project. Can you find somebody else to help thanks. Also please put your name in Users interested in forming a Community here Contact with me at my account on Wikiversity beta. Look at User:Diaza here

[edit] Please

Please do not delete the articles of my people quickly - they are new in Incubator, but soon I will teach them. --Yaroslav Zolotaryov 13:11, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

OK. MF-Warburg 13:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ever heard of Aeres

Sorry my german is too bad to write here in German, although my last name is german... You live in Germany if I'm right? Where somewhere? Because I thought if you live near the french or dutch border you might have heard of Èhris. -Markvondeegel 13:30, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I live in the very east of en:North Rhine Westphalia, in en:Warburg (yes, really!), so not very near at the Dutch border. And I never heard of Aeres before. MF-Warburg 13:59, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
There's no aeres in NordrheinWestphalen I'm affraid. Konghier 17:32, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pauk

Hi, Warburg, this Pauk now writes in ruwiki that you are probably fascist because you have blocked him [2] He also said: we should make some measures against this russophobe Warburg)) --Yaroslav Zolotaryov 22:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I have an idea: Change the policy so newbies their votes don't count. What do you think? SPQRobin 00:11, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
I support. Actually ruwiki is large, they can organize tonns of such votes. --Yaroslav Zolotaryov 00:20, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
See Incubator:Administrators, I have done something. SPQRobin 00:39, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Great! I can help with translation of some announcement like "Newbies! Please do not vote!" in Russian language --Yaroslav Zolotaryov 00:43, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Lol. SPQRobin 00:52, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
I think some of them did not understand the text written above - "The requests below are not votes" --Yaroslav Zolotaryov 00:57, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
To be honest, they're all just being plain mean. Do you know where they are all finding out about this? Cbrown1023 talk 03:39, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
This Pauk informed them in the ruwiki forum. --Yaroslav Zolotaryov 03:43, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Hm, if they really want to annoy me, they should vandalize the [SELF-CENSORED]-Wikipedia with many pages always with the word "buka" in it. MF-Warburg 13:47, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Robin, I don't envy the fact that you are the one who has to close it. :( Cbrown1023 talk 01:15, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean? I speak Deutsch (=German) and I live in Warburg. MF-Warburg 10:08, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Ich spreche mier Deutsch als Englisch, darum. MakkiTa 10:09, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Aha. MF-Warburg 10:13, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Ow, ok. MakkiTa 10:41, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] character insert

I saw you add {{speedy|}} to MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning, but you forgot to use the nowiki-code. Next time please add nowiki, otherwise you'll see the complete template as a characterinsert. -Markvondeegel 14:04, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I doubt that block was needed. He didn't add deletiontags anymore. -Markvondeegel 16:04, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
OK, I will unblock him. MF-Warburg 16:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
yeah.... a little too bold, warn him first, next time, please? :) Cbrown1023 talk 01:07, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
yes MF-Warburg 11:18, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, I do have to concede, that this is one of your first slip-ups as an admin. I am impressed. :-D Keep up the good work! Cbrown1023 talk 00:49, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] unneeded pages

A! Ok, sorry for the incovenience, i´ll put the template on the pages now ^^ Tiu Chelu 09:37, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] frc on Betawiki

Hi. JeanVoisin and I are still working on the translation and the translations that we've done still need to be checked for consistency. If we commit the translations as they are right now and we correct an error in an already-commited translation, will the newly-changed translation be committed when we commit the rest of the translations? We're both new to Wikipedia and any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated. I also noticed that frc doesn't fall back to English on the Betawiki anymore. Do you know why? We still have a lot of messages to translate. RoyAlcatraz 14:43, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't ask me, ask m:User:Siebrand or directly at betawiki. best regards MF-Warburg 17:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Oops! Sorry about the mix up. RoyAlcatraz 15:07, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Guess what..

...pretty soon, you and I will be 'crats, that's crazy, it doesn't seem like it's been a month already. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 01:23, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Hehe, SPQRobin has to come back from vacation and give us bureaucrat rights. MF-Warburg 11:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Or you need to ask one of the other (sometimes her online, or on another place) bureaucrats. -Markvondeegel 12:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC

OK then let;s meet at the incubator IRC.--ZaDiak

[edit] IRC - bot

You're offline so I will ask it here: How do I start the bot. Yeah, sorry but it's the first time I work with a bot. SPQRobin 18:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ß

I was wondering what means "ß" in German? In Eqpl Ese ñ Machei' it puts a verb in the simple past. Like: ccabqenoh' (find) ccabqenoh'ß (found) SF-Language 14:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

An ß ("eszett" or "scharfes S" = "sharp S") is another writing for "ss" what is /s/. The ß is used when it follows a long vowel or a diphtong, for example:
  • beißen (to bite) (ei is a diphtong)
  • er biss (he bit) (i is short, so ss is written)

Maybe there's more information at en:ß. MF-Warburg 14:11, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the information! SF-Language 14:13, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] deleting test projects

Please next time first import them at incubator plus. Because i've transfered wikia community college to there it would otherwise be unfair. -Markvondeegel 15:45, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

OK. But I'm not yet a sysop there. And maybe we should ask the community of the test project before transferring. MF-Warburg 17:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
I forgot you aren't yet. In a few days you will be (I hope). If there was any community they would have been lots and lots bigger. -Markvondeegel 17:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] too long?

Is this article name too long? Wp/mcq/Kqiccen Kacholiq Qcha'qi lp Qdahjko'qi nqda' Kqiccen Kacholiq Qcha'qi lp Oikljoh'qi ñ Kqiccen Kacholiq Qcha'qi lp Ck Pigqe Onj Wikjba'cakp' 09:18, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Maybe. What does it mean? MF-W admin, bureaucrat 09:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Wp/mcq/The Catholic Church of Peru compared to the the Catholic Church of Bolivia compared to the Catholic Church of the United States Wikjba'cakp' 09:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
First, why do you have such an article? Second, if there is a possibility for a shorter name, use that. But if the title is long, also the article name is long. For example en:Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu. --MF-W admin, bureaucrat 09:27, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Because the church is a tradition for Ese Ejja language. There are differences between those churches. I think it's possible to shorten it to Wp/mcq/Kqiccen Kacholiq Qcha'qi lp Qdahjko'qi nqda' amfba' Qcha'qi lp Oikljoh'qi ñ amfba' Qcha'qi lp CPO. But than it contains streetlanguage and shortcuts. Wikjba'cakp' 09:32, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Don't do that. Keep it so long. --MF-W admin, bureaucrat 09:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Ok Wikjba'cakp' 09:38, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Why don't you change it to Wp/mcq/Kqiccen K Qdahjko'qi nqda' amfba' Oikljoh'qi ñ amfba' CPO. It's a lot shorter. SF-Language 10:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
I propose you make redirects from the shorter titles to the long one. MF-W admin, bureaucrat 10:39, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Ok SF-Language 10:40, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] commonsdelinker

Is it a good idea to give him a bot flag? Normally you can easily see that a image has been removed, just a clock on recent changes... SF-Language 10:53, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Hm, but why do you want to see that? If the image is not in the article anymore, and you want to know why it was gone, you click "history" and see that the bot removed or replaced it. Note that it has also a bot flag on several Wikipedias (for example English). I will take it down if necessary. MF-W admin, bureaucrat 11:14, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, if a test has 500 pages. I'm sure you're not watching the history of all pages... SF-Language 11:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
I meant that you can go to the history if you want to see why the image isn't there. MF-W admin, bureaucrat 11:17, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but how do you know the image is gone? SF-Language 11:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
e. g. here. You see an edit of CommonsDelinker and ... - so take the flag away or not? MF-W admin, bureaucrat 11:21, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Huh? SF-Language 11:22, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Better:
example: here. You see an edit of CommonsDelinker and you know the image was deleted on commons. Shall I take the flag away now or not? --MF-W admin, bureaucrat 11:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

I think it's better to take away the flag. You can't see when a image is taken away. You need to check pages' history our click on the contributions of the bot itself. SF-Language 11:29, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Done, removed bot status. --MF-W admin, bureaucrat 11:33, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moving iso-codeless tests to Incubator Plus?

I think we need to move these tests. Taking a quick look, these tests need to be moved:

  • aeres (I'm already busy on this one)
  • aeres-old (I'm already busy on this one)
  • art-da (I'm already busy on this one)
  • bat-ltg
  • jpn-bungo
  • ko-kore
  • pt-br (hasn't got a chance to become a real wikipedia, maybe nominate for deletion?)
  • ru-old
  • ru-lat
  • surzh
  • vi-nom
  • wawa

We can leave them here, but most of them will be moved or deleted anyway sooner or later. -Markvondeegel 16:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changing prefixes in Template namespace

Hello. I've seen the great work you've done with your bot to change all wikt/ prefixes with the new one wt in the main namespace. Couldn't you do the same with pages in Template namespace? Thanks, Tonyfroio 14:50, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, of course. I`m trying. --MF-W {a, b} Visit IRC! 18:06, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] deleting

Have you informed the ru-lat editors? -Markvondeegel 12:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

see Talk:Wp/ru-lat (nobody answered). They also were inactice since the project has been rejected. Also look at sr: (serbian Wikipedia). Click the "latinica" tab and you have everything in latin writing. This could be also implemented in ru:. --MF-W {a, b} Visit IRC! 12:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I know that. And I've got nothing against what you're doing right now, but I was just wondering. -Markvondeegel 12:48, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion: Test adminship

Hi!

I´m not sure if it would be necessary a test administrator on the Extremaduran test... there isn´t vandalism... well, i could help you deleting unused images and pages from Extremaduran request...

I will ask to the Extremaduran community and if they agree, i´ll try to be a good test administrator!

Hui, i would like to ask you one thing... I saw this message "A proposal has been made to reform this proposal system" in Proposals for new projects, could this afect to the Extremaduran request?

Thanks you!

Tiu Chelu 11:51, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah! ok! so... i´ll place my request and let Extremaduran community know about it... if you could see if all is allright i would be very gratefull. Greetings! Tiu Chelu 15:08, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for all! I´ll try to be a good test administrator. Tiu Chelu 11:58, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Username blacklist

Hi, MF-Warburg. I saw there has been a vandal registering as Renameduser008 on 18 Novenber 2007. I thought, to prevent this, I will add it to the username blacklist. But I see you added it on 18 August 2007. So, it is not working. Do you have any idea? SPQRobin 13:32, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I changed it from "((R|r)enameduser)" to "(Renameduser)". It seems to work now. I tried to create an account "Renameduser009" but got an error message. --MF-W {a, b} Visit IRC! 14:34, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

If you want to give me a name?

Renaming and creating accounts with this name by sysops is still possible. --MF-W {a, b} Visit IRC! 14:26, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please change my name

Hello, can you please change my name into Edmundwoods as I've done in the English Wikipedia, Malay Wikipedia, Meta-Wiki and the Commons? Thanks a lot!

Btw you're also an admin in the Gamewiki right? Can you please tell me how did you manage to get sysop right there? I heard that it had been admin-less for several months and it ended up full of vandalisms. I wonder how did you get your adminship there... --King Edmund of the Woods 18:14, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

About the renaming: done.
About the admin on gamewiki. Is it Wikia? If so you can ask Angela to adopt the wiki. -Markvondeegel 18:38, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I am admin on gamewiki. It is not on Wikia, I emailed the owner (do a whois query to find out his email address). --MF-W {a, b} Visit IRC! 13:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

How did you do the whois query? --King Edmund of the Woods 15:33, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Enter "whois gamewiki.info" on a Unix/Linux machine. There you see "Registrant Email". Or use something like http://ping.eu if you don't use Unix/Linux. --MF-W {a, b} Visit IRC! 17:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] wp/srn

When wikipedia goes be creating? Be cos i made articles a number of already.

Nine articles aren't enough. Also, you need to have a request on Meta which the Langcom must approve. --MF-W {a, b} 12:34, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Okay. I already have done making a request on Meta. How many articles doe you think is good? Adfokati 14:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
A few articles is not enough; making a project on your own is hard. And it usually takes a long time before the langcom approves a test project. And then it takes another long time before the developers create the site. So it will not go that fast. SPQRobin 14:56, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • So I have to need more people who work on the test Wikipedia? Adfokati 15:33, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unused cats

There are over 500 of these: [4]. Is it possible to delete them with your bot, or is that a bad idea? --Markvondeegel 18:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that is possible. And since these cats are empty, it should be no problem to delete them, but maybe we should put a notification about it in the sitenotice so people know their unused categories will be deleted. --MF-W {a, b} 11:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Good idea. There exist more interesting special pages than I thought :-) Most of the unused cats are from the previous test Wp/be SPQRobin 12:11, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Because it was in Category:Maintenance:Delete. --MF-W {a, b} 13:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Who mark the content as Deleteme? That action looks as someone's vandal games. --AlefZet 19:19, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
The page uses the template {{En icon}} which was a redirect to {{Wp/crh/En icon}} which was marked to be deleted because it was moved to the new crh.wikipedia.org. --MF-W {a, b} 08:46, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Benutzerporzäle

Ist es brauchbar um einen Benutzerporzäle zu machen? --Нарја Недјиехрев 16:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean? There is no word "Benutzerporzäle" in German, and also no singular "Benutzerporzal" or something like that. --MF-W {a, b} 17:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Porzäle looks like portal. Maybe he mean Userportal? Grutu, Jordi (mi taki) 16:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Possible. But then I still not understand what he wants ("is it usable to make an user portals?") --MF-W {a, b} 16:54, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Maybe he meaned "is it usefull to make (a) user portal(s)"? Grutu, Jordi (mi taki) 16:57, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Also possible. But then my answer is: Make a user portal where and for what? --MF-W {a, b} 17:02, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't know. Grutu, Jordi (mi taki) 17:03, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok. --Ooswesthoesbes 14:37, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
This was the same problem with crh, their missing pages were imported afterwards, and the same with dsb, their missing pages were imported afterwards, and (as I had thought) this is the same with stq... So we need to import or copy them. SPQRobin 14:42, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Ooswesthoesbes, can you give us a list of unimported pages? SPQRobin 16:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Not of normal pages, but I know for sure there are no templates imported. --Ooswesthoesbes 17:06, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bureaucrat

Hi! I'm not sure if this is possible, but.... well, i would like to be a bureaucrat in the new Extremaduran wikipedia (of course, there would be a votation...) it would be possible?. Greetings! Tiu Chelu 18:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Of course this is possible when there will be a voting, but the Stewards who will make you bureaucrat then will probably not do so if there is only a small community [because there is no need for bureaucrats then]. So I propose you first have a voting about sysop rights on ext.wikipedia and then, when the wiki grew, you can also have bureaucrats.
Another thing: Please have a look at this; without that information the Extremaduran Wikipedia cannot be created. --MF-W {a, b} 10:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Ok, i'll try to be sysop again (i though i couldn't...). Refering to the "Namespace names for Extremaduran".... i don't understand what does it mean... may be it's the name of "Wikipedia" and "Wikipedia talk" in extremaduran? (in that case it would be "Güiquipeya" and "Caraba la Güiquipeya"). Thank you! Tiu Chelu 11:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Yes, that is right. --MF-W {a, b} 11:44, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Toskanische Wikipedia

Hallo, ich habe gesehen, dass die toskanische Wikipedia gelöscht wurde, da es keinen ISO-Kode für die Sprache gibt. Kannst Du die paar Artikel dieser Wiki als Unterseiten meiner Benutzerseite wiederherstellen? Ich fand das Projekt ganz nett. --Andreas 14:47, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Leider nein, aber ich kann die Seiten in den "Incubator Plus" importieren. Handelt es sich um Wp/lld? --MF-W {a, b} 19:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Nein, der Wp/lld geht es gut - wenn man dan Autorenmangel ausser Acht lässt. Es handelt sich um die ehemalige Wp/tsc --Andreas 19:47, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] namespace for Gan wiki

Hi, thank you for your information at [7]. I've already given the reponse at [8]. But Pathoschild just asked the the translation for "Wikipedia" (project name) and "Wikipedia" (project namespace). I saw that you want "Wikipedia talk" (the namespace names) in Gan, so it should be Wikipedia‐談詑. Regards. --Symane 14:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jose77

Hi, I have recently returned to find that Jose77 is still trying to push his religious agenda here.

[9] [10] [11]

Often, he has created incubator pages for languages with no community here with the sole purpose of pushing this religious agenda. This guy is trying to distort things, and gives undue weight to his own en:true Jesus Church by putting it on their main pages sometimes where it clearly does not belong (only 1 million members, compared to many more prominent churches).

He has been desysopped at many Wikis where he requested the privilege, sometimes fraudulently, and often promulgated wrong and incorrect interface translations he got by taking words from a dictionary. In fact, he has often "translated" the article on his True Jesus Church with a dictionary, resulting in very poor and incorrect translations. By including only Christianity-related topics in a category on Religion, he is ignoring the world's other major religions, including both Islam and Hinduism which have over 1 billion followers each, in his quest to convert all Wikipedia readers to his own True Jesus Church. --Node ue 19:58, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

So you now want me to do what? I know about his controversical actions (e.g. this article which was called (translated) "Very True Jesus Church" by the author). Btw: Islam and Hinduism don't have a billion followers (so many people don't live on earth), "only" a milliard. --MF-W {a, b} 13:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
@MF-Warburg; in English one billion = 1.000.000.000, there are 6.000.000.000 people on the earth... --Ooswesthoesbes 15:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Hm..., interesting. --MF-W {a, b} 08:57, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Format der Datumsangaben - Pontic Greek (pnt)

Hallo MF-Warburg. Zunächst einmal wünsche ich dir einen guten Morgen und hoffe, dass ich mit meinem Anliegen bei dir nicht allzu sehr an der falschen Adresse bin. :-) Folgendes Problem besteht beim Format der Datumsangaben, der Wp/pnt: Korrekt wäre der Monatsname im Genitiv, er erscheint aber beispielsweise in den "letzten Änderungen" im Nominativ. Die notwendigen Übersetzungen im interface sind bereits gemacht worden (Nominativ und Genitiv). Allerdings weiß ich nicht, wo ich das Format einstellen kann. Unter "date and time" (Special:Preferences) kann ich zwar zwischen diversen Formaten wählen, nicht aber den Genitiv des Monatsnamens. Ich hoffe, du kannst mir da weiterhelfen. Besten Gruß, --Sinopeus 00:21, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Dazu ist eine Änderung im language file erforderlich.
[15:19]    <MF-W>    should a request on Translating:Tasks be made?
[15:20] <siebrand>        MF-W: please do. Then we at least know it is waiting for processing. [[Support]] is also possible.
[15:20] <siebrand>        MF-W: if it is not being taken care of, I will usually start bugging Nikerabbit until it's been done.
[15:20] <Nikerabbit>      MF-W: try to get list of all date formats they want to use if possible

(aus freenode:#mediawiki-i18n) - Mit Translating:Tasks ist betawiki:Translating:Tasks gemeint; macht also dort bitte eine Anfrage. --MF-W {a, b} 13:29, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Vielen Dank und schönes Wochenende. --Sinopeus 05:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Bitte sehr; keine Ursache. --MF-W {a, b} 15:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Incubator:Importing from Incubator

I just saw the page Incubator:Importing from Incubator and your name is in History. Sorry for asking you, but I asked in Incubator:Community Portal#Category:Portuguese Wikiversity and didnt have an answer.


I'm from beta.Wikiversity [12] and we have a permission to create the pt.Wikiversity, but we have a problem.

There is a Wikiversity project in pt.Wikibooks [13] and when we start to create pages in beta.wikiversity some users had copy+past some pages from Wikibooks.

Now a sysops (in beta,wikiversity) told me that its "illegal", but he said its impossible to import pages from wikibooks.

Its really impossible to import from Wikibooks ? How can we solve this ?

Rjclaudio 16:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Someone should go to meta:RFP and request to be added to the "import" group on beta.wikiversity. Then the pages which were illegaly copied should be deleted on beta.wikiversity and the person who was made an importer can import the pages from pt.wikibooks by pt:b:Special:Export and betawikiversity:Special:Import (XML-Import). If there's nobody who would request import rights, ask me :) --MF-W {a, b} 16:28, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I never be an importer, but I want to try, if you can help me.

The pages imported illegaly have many new edits, and we had to rename many pages. So we should make a "history fusion" with the existing ones. And I think I cant do this. I import the pages, and then make a list of pages that need a "history fusion", and ask someone to make this ?

If I try to import a page from wikibooks and exist a page with the same name in wikiversity, what should I do ? Rename one of them ?

When I use the tool to export pages in one category, all pages in subcats are exported to ? Or I have to do the same thing to all subcats ?

Rjclaudio 11:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, import the pages and then ask some beta.wv admins to "merge the histories" (it can be done by deleting the page with the new name, moving the page with the old name to the new name, deleting this page, and then undeleting the page with the new name, where now all versions of both pages are. The pages are merged now).
If you try to import a page from Wikibooks and a page with the same name exists on Wikiversity, and this is the illegally copied page, then you can just import the page (the histories will be merged automatically). If one of the pages is not the illegal one, then move it to another temporary name first, import the other page, move it to another name and then move the original page of Beta back to its old name.
Special:Export does not include pages of subcategories. You have to do it for every subcategorie, too. --MF-W {a, b} 15:02, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] move to Lost namespace

I would know if that is the good work :

  1. for all unprefixed page in (main) namespace, move it with the prefixed same name (the unprefixed page will be mark with ® at the next check of list of unprefixed pages)
  2. change all the linked text to make empty the special:WhatLinksHere of the unprefixed page
  3. rename the unprefixed page to the Lost namespace.

That's right ? Crochet.david 18:11, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

1 and 2: yes; 3: no. Please put {{delete}} on the unprefixed page (which should only be a redirect to the prefixed page); or, what would save a lot of time, make a request for some temporary adminship for your bot for the time you are cleaning to delete this redirects yourself. Pages should be moved to Lost: namespace if you cannot diagnose the right prefix. --MF-W {a, b} 17:18, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] template used by multiple project

When i see the number of template to rename, it will be a big work to check it. When i see the use of there, i found a problem because a template can be used by more than two projects. So we must create template as many they are language that use it ? Crochet.david 16:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, we must duplicate them. You can move the original page to one prefix and create new pages (maybe redirects?) for the rest of the test projets using that template. But on if the template contains no text that should be translated. --MF-W {a, b} 17:03, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Final translation needed for creation of Sakha Wikipedia

Hello MF-Warburg. Please see m:Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Sakha#Final translation. Although the Sakha Wikipedia has been approved, it cannot be created until those translations are provided.
