Template Translation for Incubator

I am unable to translate this template: fr:Modèle:Infobox Graphème into english and khowar. Can anybody translate this from french language to english. This template is necessary for creating pages of six uniquely pronounced special characters of Khowar Language, Please translate this into english so that i'll translate this into Khowar language. This template is only available in French Wikipedia. Regards -- RAChitrali 01:41, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

I'll try to tackle in the next day or two. What I think I'd like to do is this:

• You create a template page in the Khowar test where you would like this to go. (You can create it with simple text like "placeholder".)
• I will import the template from French Wikipedia, then translate it in place into English.
• Then you translate it in place to Khowar.

OK? StevenJ81 (talk) 14:02, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

@Rachitrali:  Doing...  Didn't hear from you. Imported to User:StevenJ81/Modèle:Infobox Graphème along with a documentation subpage. This will take a while; please be patient. StevenJ81 (talk) 13:49, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

I want to create in khowar like this[1] Thanks --RAChitrali 15:56, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

@Rachitrali: Do you still want this? StevenJ81 (talk) 14:49, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

@StevenJ81:, yes sir--RAChitrali 08:58, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Account creator flag and workshops

Moved from I:AN. StevenJ81 (talk) 21:46, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
User:Benoit Rochon, head of Wikimedia Canada, suspects he may need "account creator" from time to time to run workshops for a new test wiki in Innu-aimun, an indigenous Canadian language. Is there a reason that we don't have the right to grant and remove this flag? Would anyone have a problem if I put in a phabricator for that? Thanks. StevenJ81 (talk) 20:06, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Update: Point is moot in this case, because he's a sysop on frwiki, so can create accounts from there. But as a general rule, why wouldn't we want to be able to do this, in case a chapter is running a workshop in a test wiki language? StevenJ81 (talk) 20:21, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

I think nobody knows why the default configuration is that no local groups can grant this right. I have no problem with allowing the granting and removing of it to sysops or bureaucrats. Though I think configuration changes should be proposed on I:CP :P --MF-W {a, b} 20:34, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

I agree. Just wanted a quick consult here first. StevenJ81 (talk) 20:38, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

end of moved section
For the community at large:

I propose that full administrators and bureaucrats be allowed to set and remove the flag "account creator". This user right is automatically a part of the tools that administrators and bureaucrats themselves can use. Currently, the only other accounts on Incubator that have this user right are bots.

• Under ordinary circumstances, a maximum of six accounts can be created from a single IP address within a 24-hour period. The purpose of this limitation is to prevent the automated creation of unlimited spam and vandalism accounts from a single location. And under ordinary circumstances, this limitation doesn't really get in the way of responsible people creating accounts for their own use, or even for use by themselves and a member or two of a family at once.
• Sometimes, however, different organizations—for example, educational institutions, Wikimedia chapters, and the like—may run workshops to encourage people to contribute to Wikimedia projects. In this case, many people may try to create accounts at once from a single location, and then will run up against this limitation.
• As long as an administrator or bureaucrat is involved in the workshop, that is not a problem. But in some of the small language communities we have here on Incubator, that could easily become a problem, because most of those communities do not have administrators or bureaucrats that speak the language. My feeling is that it might be very worthwhile for some of the test wiki communities here to consider running programs like this, and to encourage others in their home communities to participate in the tests.

• As an example, Wikimedia Canada is about to start workshops in Innu-aimun. After its recent success in working on the Atikamekw Wikipedia test, and having it successfully launched as its own project, it wants to move on to tackle another language of a Canadian First Nation (fr). It will do this by running workshops for that community, which may require more than six accounts to be created from the workshop location of the course of a day or two.

In order to facilitate tests like this, I would like us to be able to set and remove this user right locally. (Currently, it requires a steward request at m:SRP.) Assuming the community approves this request, we will lay out some rules for its use. However, we would tentatively assume the following:

• This right would be granted only for the purpose of a specific event. The event would require a responsible sponsor, and we would need to have access to some publicity for the event. The right would be granted temporarily, and would expire after the event.
• This right would only be granted to trusted users—normally test administrators, or others with a history of responsible editing and/or advanced user rights on Wikimedia projects.

I will leave this proposal up for seven days to request comments. StevenJ81 (talk) 21:46, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

General discussion

• @MF-Warburg: I'm going to file a phabricator on this later today. On most wikis the only right this group has is (noratelimit). But enwiki also includes (override-antispoof) and (tboverride-account). I don't think I'd overwrite the account blacklist, but I could argue either way on the antispoof issue (EventAcct1, EventAcct2, etc.). Any thoughts? StevenJ81 (talk) 16:46, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Does antispoof prevent such accounts? I thought it only is for preventing trickery like registering "ΜF-Warburg" where the Μ is actually a Greek letter. --MF-W {a, b} 14:50, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

You're right. I misunderstood. OK, no need for an override for that, then. Will get this underway. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:08, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Result

 Doing...  No objections. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:09, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

See task phabricator:T171751. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:20, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Done Thanks to User:MarcoAurelio for his help. Note that to simplify the execution, the right to grant and remove this flag was granted to 'crats, not sysops. StevenJ81 (talk) 21:26, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

@Benoit Rochon: You can still use French Wikipedia for your events if that's easier for you. But we can now flag you as account creator here, and then you can create the accounts directly on Incubator if you prefer. StevenJ81 (talk) 13:52, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Translatewiki

How can I translate the messages needed for Wikipedia without being able to choose Coptic as a translate language? Can anyone help me? Greetings User:ⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ

@ⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ: You will have to talk to the community at http://translatewiki.net/--they are responsible for translating MediaWiki's interface. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:41, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

I just tried that. I created an account and can't edit anything, not even discussion pages. User:ⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ

@ⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ: That is odd. I know that if you want to translate things, you have to have certain user rights but editing a talk page should be available to most anyone. You can see if @Nemo bis: can help you maybe. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:29, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Also calling @Amire80. StevenJ81 (talk) 03:06, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

I just accepted your request for translator rights on TWN. You can now edit pages. --MF-W {a, b} 21:02, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much! User:ⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ 7/29/2017

User:ⲁϩⲙⲉⲧ, the Coptic language is supposed to be fully enabled in translatewiki.net now. I see that you already started translating :)

Saraiki is not supported at https://translatewiki.net. Thanks Kindly now create the sites Wp/skr and Wt/skr.Sraiki (talk) 17:28, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

You'll have to speak with translatewiki.net about that. Go to translatewiki:Support and ask to have skr supported there. (Calling @MF-Warburg and @Amire80.) StevenJ81 (talk) 17:52, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand the question. This language is already enabled. You can switch to it using the language selector next to the username at the top of the page. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 20:18, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

@Amire80: But why neither [2] nor [3] are working well? Something is still broken in ULS? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 13:54, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Sraiki, Liuxinyu970226, this should be fixed in translatewiki.net now. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 17:05, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Boilerplate text is excluding Wikispecies

Over at any newly-created wiki (today, wm2018: and hi:v: were made but it also applies to actual Incubator graduates), there is a boilerplate main page which reads something like:

This subdomain is reserved for the creation of a [project] in [x] language

    Please do not start editing this new site. This site has a test project on the Wikimedia Incubator (or on the Beta Wikiversity or on the Old Wikisource) and it will be imported to here.

    If you would like to help translating the interface to this language, please do not translate here, but go to translatewiki.net, a special wiki for translating the interface. That way everyone can use it on every wiki using the same software.

    For information about how to edit and for other general help, see Help on Wikimedia's Meta-Wiki or Help on MediaWiki.org.

Detaching Wy/ko from Incubator

How to detach some project from incubator? In case of Korean wikivoyage, there are some request detaching from incubator. See here.--Altostratus (talk) 05:15, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

@Altostratus, -revi, MF-Warburg: As a general rule, there are two things that the Language Committee and WMF want to see in order to approve a new project: (1) content, and (2) an active community which will ensure that at least initially the project will remain active after it is exported from Incubator.

• With respect to content, there are no fixed rules as to how many pages there need to be, only that there is a reasonable amount of non-trivial content. Ultimately, Language Committee would decide whether the content you have now is sufficient, but it is always helpful to continue adding content. (My own view is that you are on the borderline for this now.)
• With respect to activity, LangCom wants to see a period of at least three consecutive months where there are at least three active editors having ten or more edits each during each month. The three active editors don't have to be the same every month—just that there have to be three editors during each month. And then that activity level needs to be maintained until approval and export. Korean Wikivoyage has never met that activity standard for three consecutive months, and has not even met it for a single month since January 2014. So unquestionably you will need to get some community of contributors together and contributing in order for the LangCom to consider a project approval. (I appreciate that some people are saying that people won't contribute until the project is exported. I can't help you with that apparent Catch-22, and so encourage you to recruit additional contributors anyway.)

I gather from m:Requests for new languages/Wikivoyage Korean that there was an old Wikitravel domain here, but that there was apparently little useful information there. If you want to go back and review that and bring anything worthwhile from there to here please feel free. That will help on the content side. But until you have an active community the project will not be approved. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:08, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

My personal opinion is that kowikivoyage is better left at incubator... Various other sisterprojects in Korean which left the incubator tells the future if it gets a dedicated domain: it'll die. — regards, Revi 10:01, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Those datas are much better than Wikiversity as their "test-projects" are also having machine translations which so-called as fluency-from-random-Wikipedias (not surprise, my another reason that I support migrating Beta Wikiversity back to Incubator is because our Incubator are having very well RTL interface which is required by Muslim/Judaic editors), but not better than Wiktionary which most de-facto-Wikipedia-only languages are using WT as 2nd test-project. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 14:19, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

How to add the translations of a language name ?

Hello everyone, I'm currently working on the Wallisian (wls) wikipedia incubator (Wp/wls), but when I set my interface language to French, I get "Wikipédia en Wallisian". I'd like to change it to "Wikipédia en wallisien". I've looked in many places (Incubator, Mediawiki...), but could not find the page where I could add the translations for that language. Any help appreciated ! Thanks Skimel (talk) 22:09, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

@Skimel: Translations for the MediaWiki interface are actually done at translatewiki:. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:04, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

@Koavf: Thanks for your answer, but I couldn't find the translation pages on Translatewiki either. In fact, I'm wondering where the various translations for each language are stored (eg the page where "English", "Anglais", "Inglès"... etc are). Any idea ? I've also noticed that this page Template:Test wiki/639-3 does not have all the ISO 639-3 codes. Thanks! Skimel (talk) 19:53, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

@Skimel: There may not be anyone translating into Wallisian at the moment. You would need to propose it there. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:10, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Maybe I was not clear enough. I do not want to translate pages into Wallisian (I don't speak this language well), but I'd like to translate the interface into French. Right now Wp/wls is in a mixture of French and English (I've set my preferences to French). The code on this page is {{test wiki | mainpage = Wp/wls/Main Page | status = open | meta = yes | language = Wallisian }} I cannot find the page where the parameter "language" is defined (is there a list of all languages, is it ISO 639-3 ?), and more importantly, the page where "Wallisian" gets translated into different languages (as "Algerian Arabic" (Wp/arq) gets translated to "arabe algérien" in French). Thanks a lot for your help :) Skimel (talk) 21:21, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

@Skimel: At pages such as https://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wp/wls/Main_Page&action=info one can set a language. Whether you have those rights or it is enabled here, I do not know. In general, that is how it is done in MediaWiki. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:40, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

@Skimel: It turns out that this takes place in another place altogether, at CLDR. Read at translatewiki:FAQ#Language_names, and follow the directions there. StevenJ81 (talk) 04:06, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Page Delete

I have moved a page from Wp/sat/Main page (Ol Chiki) to Wp/sat/ᱢᱩᱬᱩᱛ ᱥᱟᱦᱴᱟ

But, am now want to revert that to original one (i.e. Wp/sat/Main page (Ol Chiki)) and delete the new page (i.e. wp/sat/ᱢᱩᱬᱩᱛ ᱥᱟᱦᱴᱟ)

How can I do it? Please Help me.

Thanks, Ramjit Tudu (talk) 07:03, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

1. Move the page back to its original location. When ask, choose the "overwrite current page" option.
2. Place the template {{delete}} on the page you want deleted. (Don't replace the current contents with it, just add it to the top.)

Eventually, I'll see that page come up for deletion and will act on it. StevenJ81 (talk) 12:49, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

    Just done it, please check .

Thanks, Ramjit Tudu (talk) 17:33, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

OK. That worked. Now here's the other thing you have to do: Go to the page you want deleted and then click on ⧼What links here⧽. Click that, and see what pages link to the page you want to delete. You have to go to each of those pages and fix the links so they go to the new target page. [Don't worry about this page (I:CP), just the others.] I can't delete until that happens.

Pashto Wikivoyage

Hei we are activ now one month ago,we do our best Wy/ps (pashto wikivoyage) but i think the language should be approved now please help us we are waiting :)) --Khan (talk) 08:29, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

We all really appreciate your hard work and positive attitude, Khan. But this project is not close to being ready for approval. Let me explain (again) why:

1. You really don't have much content here. Yes, there are 140 pages. But I did a random check of ten pages in your test this morning. Six were nothing more than empty shells: section headers you'd like to see filled in, with no content. Three were, at best, stubs: those shells, with perhaps a line or two of content inside. Only one of the ten really had content in it, and at that it was a pretty short page. So you just need more content.
2. You don't have a community. You need three named users contributing at least ten times every month. In August, there was just you, in September you and one other. The Language Committee will not approve projects built by one person.

I hope that has been clear. Good luck. StevenJ81 (talk) 13:35, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Wikimedia is getting rid of Tidy

I'd like to bring the community's attention to this announcement that came in last week's Tech News (I:Wikimedia news#Tech News: 2017-38):

Future changes

• We are replacing Tidy on Wikimedia wikis. Editors need to fix pages that could break. You can read the simplified instructions for editors.
  Some wikis have already switched. If your wiki would like to switch to the new format now, you can file a task.

Please take this seriously, and check if your tests have pages listed at Special:LintErrors (or if any of your userpages are listed!). In particular, any page in the "High Priority" category will probably be broken if you do not fix the coding. Thank you. StevenJ81 (talk) 16:27, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

@StevenJ81: sir some Special:LintErrors found in Khowar Wikipedia, please check and guide us. Thanks --RAChitrali 09:29, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

@Rachitrali: Most of your issues have to do with complex coding problems that I am not expert in. StevenJ81 (talk) 13:15, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Pashto Wikivoyage verification

Hello please check our language Pashto Wikivoyage, we doing our best and spending a lot of time to make Pashto Wikivoyage best. So please if you people verify our Wikivoyage this will give us big reason to work on this project. And thank you very much :))) .... --Khan (talk) 11:38, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

I think you're coming along very nicely. I appreciated the article you pointed me to yesterday, too! (smile) To be sure,

• I can't judge the content—I don't read Pashto. Consider asking a couple of regulars at Pashto Wikipedia who haven't been so involved to have a look and see what they think.
• I'm also not a big expert on Wikivoyage projects.

In any event, you need to continue to meet the activity requirement through November before I can recommend the project to the Language Committee. Also: LangCom would like to see continued activity translating the interface. All of the "most used" messages are translated, but consider tackling a portion of the untranslated MediaWiki core messages (here). StevenJ81 (talk) 13:03, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Dear Friend: This was very difficult for me to understand what you mean (:*I can't judge the content—I don't read Pashto. Consider asking a couple of regulars at Pashto Wikipedia who haven't been so involved to have a look and see what they think.) can you please write little bit easier:))) Khan (talk) 03:44, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Test wiki for incubator extension

There should be a test wiki for the Incubator extension. There are already test wikis for the Wikidata extension and MediaWiki in general. Maybe something like test.incubator.wikimedia.org or incubator.test.wikipedia.org? KATMAKROFAN (talk) 03:10, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Create a Beta Cluster Incubator (https://incubator.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/) instead? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 11:17, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

What do you want to test? StevenJ81 (talk) 14:49, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
