Request for Improving Chinese Translation and Conversion[edit source]

I need Template:Conversion-zh and Module:Conversion-zh in conversioning zh-hans (中文（简体）‎) and zh-hant (中文（繁體）‎) ,like Incubator:Main_Page/zh(because we can't translate Incubator:Main_Page/zh-hans and Incubator:Main_Page/zh-hant). Because of prefix, so I can't create then. Can someone create:

--Sunny00217 (talk) 07:16, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
I sincerely apologize for changing the topic name, but we need a more specific topic name. These template and module are important for Chinese translator. For administrators, you can find more information here. The modules and templates has also been implemented on Wikispecies in order to show language variants. However, I do not think it is necessary to have all the Mediawiki:Conversion-zh stuff since Wikispecies also do not have these, but the language conversion function is functional. Also, please remove Incubator:Main_Page/zh-tw, Incubator:Main_Page/zh-hans and Incubator:Main_Page/zh-hant, since we can no longer update the translation and Incubator:Main_Page/zh can take care of the language variants from now on. --VulpesVulpes825 (talk) 02:13, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Wikinews - DynamicPageList[edit source]

Hi, I would like ask for some help with DPL.

  • Using addfirstcategorydate=true displays the article dates in English, even if site preferences are set to another language; addfirstcategorydate=ymd gives back a span class error. My goal would be to display the dates in Hungarian formatted to YYYY-MM-DD. Is there a way to do this?
  • Is there a way to display article titles without prefixes with DPL?

I hope someone can point me in the right direction. - Xbspiro (talk) 10:05, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

@Xbspiro: From my reading of mw:Extension:DynamicPageList (Wikimedia), you can set dates to ymd but that requires being able to change the settings. This is probably a phab: request. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 10:47, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Thanks - I am not familiar with phab, so I will leave the DPL issue as it is for now. As far as I understand, the variable you mentioned might be referring to is global, i.e. it affects an entire wiki, and can't be limited by specifying a target, say a subset of prefixed pages (i.e. an incubated project). - Xbspiro (talk) 05:16, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Lezgi Wiktionary[edit source]

I am working on creating Wiktionary for the Lezgi language (lez.wiktionary.org). I wonder how many words must be in the Incubator in order to be able to use it not in Incubator but dircetly in Wiktionary? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by LanguageExplorer (discussion • contribs) 10:03, 31 January 2020 (UTC).

Glitch when switching editors?[edit source]

Hi all, has anyone seen an issue with extra |s being appended to prefixed links when an edit is saved? Here's a recent example: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wp/lkt/Main_Page&diff=4710778&oldid=4704222&diffmode=source The edit is tagged "Tag: Visual edit: Switched" -- does this have something to do with it? I haven't been able to replicate myself, and am not sure how to advise our editors. --R12ntech (talk) 14:02, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Predefinições com base em LUA[edit source]

Como é que eu faço para aparecer a predefinição {{Wt/grc/grc-κλίσ-'ψυχή'}} igual ao Wikcionário em grego? Eu criei a função "main", mas quando vejo esta predefinição, aparece a mensagem Lua error in Module:Wt/grc/κλίση at line 13: attempt to index global 'Lf' (a nil value). Que valor eu devo colocar?

Leonardo José Raimundo (talk) 22:42, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello! The problem is that local Lf calls an attribute of itself while it's being defined, thus is nil. Try local Lf = {} on line 13 to see if that solves the problem. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 03:20, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Infelizmente não resolveu o problema. Aparece outra mensagem de erro: Lua error in Module:Wt/grc/κλίση at line 207: attempt to call local 'Lf' (a table value). Que valor da tabela eu devo colocar?
Leonardo José Raimundo (talk) 22:48, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Same problem, just on that line now. However, it does show a bigger problem. By redefining export = {}, Lf, and Lr, anything that was done before has essentially been removed. I suggest either splitting the module in two pages, or removing lines 205 up to 208. Ebe123 (Talkabout it|contribs) 01:11, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
Eu desisti de editar o módulo κλίση, porque quando eu removi as linhas de 205 a 208, voltou a seguinte mensagem de erro: Script error: The function "main" does not exist. Pense num módulo difícil de corrigir! Deixarei para um administrador do Wikimedia Incubator fazer isso. Perdi meu tempo com esse módulo.

Interwiki link issue[edit source]

I don't get understand it. Inserting new interwiki links no longer works. See here for example (section Ref/Vuestexeem). And even copying/pasting old links that are still being displayed. Is this a temporary bug or have some general settings been changed? Or am I the one alone who do not see? Nevatovol (talk) 07:41, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

@Nevatovol: I haven't yet dealt with Interwiki links. But I have made a small edit in that article. Can you please check if its working now. Adithyak1997 (talk) 06:12, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
@Adithyak1997: I see your edit, it's works. First question : Is such a template more effective than the former procedure by direct invoking a module?
Second remark : the issue I have noticed is not with general interwiki links of the page (they work all the time), but with inclusions of interwiki links in the corpus of the article, like in the <ref< section (i.e. Edgar Poe, or here apparently also, see editing my message). The issue seems continuing. By the past, ther was no problem, I don't understand why now. Thanks for your interest. Nevatovol (talk) 06:30, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
Firstly, I don't know the languages present here. What I does is that I used to compare it those with English wiki. There, they have used a template through which the module is invoked. I just tried that method. That's all. Now I have understood your problem. Let me check it and will reply soon. Adithyak1997 (talk) 06:39, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
@Nevatovol:The problem is that you need to insert a colon just before mentioning the language. Eg: To use the page Wikipedia from French, use [[:Fr:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]. This will work. Adithyak1997 (talk) 06:48, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
@Adithyak1997: Thank you very much, it works with a colon. But I don't understand nevertheless why the interwiki links without colon put in an old article like Edgar Poe stay to work normally. Nevatovol (talk) 06:57, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
I just need to tell a reason which I don't know whether it's right. It might be due to the reason that it is placed at very bottom of the page. At times when Wikidata links were not present on left navigation bar, it was this method that was followed. Even now, many pages follow the same tradition.

Font css update request for Wp/sgh (Shughni)[edit source]

Dear Administrator/Bureaucrat,

On MediaWiki:Common.css, for [lang=sgh], could you please help add font-family: "Charis SIL"? Eg: 

body, pre {
	font-family: "Charis SIL", "Arial Unicode MS", "Lucida Sans Unicode";
}

input, textarea, select {
    font-family: "Charis SIL", "Arial Unicode MS", "Lucida Sans Unicode";
}

The text currently appears like this page where the intonations of the letters в̌ з̌ д̌ т̌ у̊ etc. are undesirably skewed to the right.

With Charis SIL enabled, it would look like this page which is the desired result. --DaveZ123 (talk) 16:53, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Help smaller wiki communities grow their technical capacity![edit source]

Hi all, Small Wiki Toolkits (SWT) is an initiative to support small wiki communities by sharing and developing technical skills needed to support, maintain, and grow a language wiki. You can learn more about it here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits. As a next step for this initiative, sharing with you some ideas on how you can be a part of this:

  • Contribute to a Starter kit by proposing or helping develop and write recommendations for technical topics in simple English.
  • Develop toolkits using the recommendations on the SWT page. You can see existing toolkits in the Category:Small_wiki_toolkits on Wikimedia Commons.
  • Learn technical topics using the resources on the SWT page and apply the skills gained to provide technical support to a small wiki community.
  • Translate resources such as the SWT page itself and tutorials on technical topics linked from it.
  • Provide technical support on the support desk on mediawiki.org, mailing lists, etc.
  • Organize a technical workshop or a session to help a small wiki community.

If you want to help with any of the above or there is anything else you would like to share around building local capacity in a small wiki, please start a discussion on the talk page and/or add your name to the list of interested members – SSethi (WMF) (talk) 00:30, 8 May 2020 (UTC) (on behalf of the Small Wiki Toolkits Initiative)

Question about a particular wiki, currently in the incubator[edit source]

Hello, to whomever decides to reply!

This is my very first question,so forgive if I am asking something that should be obvious from the get go.

I would like to ask in which phase is the Montenegrin version of the wikipedia and if that is an objective possibility at this point? From what I can tell, none of it has been edited since late 2017. Back then, there was talk of ISO 639-3 code, which Montenegrin did get (cnr), but beyond that I couldn't find anything that would signal any kind of development and possible publication of the actual Montenegrin Wikipedia pages outside of the incubator... Is the linguistic situation different now to what it was in 2017 and 2018?

Kind regards!

A relevant sister project: Wikispore[edit source]

It seems like no one has formally mentioned Wikispore to the community here. This project would act in a similar fashion to Incubator but instead of providing a space for building up new language editions of existing projects, this would be essentially an incubator for new sister projects. I recommend anyone interested take a look. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:41, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

bugfix request: problem displaying Meitei script (mni) in Chrome on Windows[edit source]

I saw the https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wt/mni/ project and i've noticed it's tofutext in Chrome on Windows, but i can see the text properly in firefox and edge, and i know i have a couple of different fonts installed that include this alphabet Noto Sans Meetei Mayek and the Microsoft font family Nirmala UI. If i want to view it, i can use firefox or edge, but chrome on windows is a fairly popular setup so others might be having the same issue. I couldn't find many other websites using this script, and the two i found also had problems on chrome, but possibly these can be over-ridden with some setting adjustments on the project, since with the right settings i've managed to get the script to display in chrome on en.wikipedia.org

Antof_g_sta : probihited word?[edit source]

¿Por qué está prohibida la palabra "Antof_g_sta"? Cuando intento marcar el nombre de la ciudad y su región en esta simple tabla (Wp/avk/Goleem_ke_Tcilea), es imposible y hay un mensaje de vandalismo potencial. Y en esta mensaje también. Curacaví Marisel (talk) 07:51, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

@Curacaví Marisel: Lamento volver a preguntar, ¿recibió algún mensaje de error cuando intentó agregarlo? En caso afirmativo, publíquelo. Además, haga esa edición y guárdela. La razón por la que lo dije es por la razón por la que no se realizó la deshacimiento en esa página (solo verifiqué la página Historial). Adithyak1997 (talk) 07:58, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Hola @Curacaví Marisel: Acabo de rellenar la tabla con la información de "Antofagasta". No tuve ningún problema. Como dice Adithyak1997, intenta validar de nuevo insertando esta palabra, y anota en detalle el mensaje de error que recibas, si es que aún hay alguno. Tal vez esto se deba a un problema con el filtro "AbuseFilter" o con la IP de su conexión. Amistoso. Nevatovol (talk) 09:20, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

No lo entiendo. Curacaví Marisel (talk) 21:14, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
This is a false positive of an abuse filter hitting you because you are not yet autoconfirmed. I have given you the confirmed status manually now, which should solve the problem. --MF-W {a, b} 08:43, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
Nevatovol, Adithyak1997, MF-W, gracias a todos. :) Curacaví Marisel (talk) 17:16, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
I see you're still prevented from creating the page. I disabled the filter for now, it clearly isn't working as intended. --MF-W {a, b} 21:42, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
The account is actually created 2 or 3 days back only. So I think he needs to become an implicit user of the group and not through granting it. MF-W has granted him right as a confirmed user and not an auto confirmed one. I have actually understood the difference between both but I once again think he will have to wait. I also think that he might have to continue his other edits on Incubator so as to implicitly become an autoconfirmed one. Sorry for repetition (if any) in this comment. Adithyak1997 (talk) 02:48, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
No, the filter checks for having the autoconfirmed right, not for being in that group. The issue was different, but I think the whole case is solved for now. --MF-W {a, b} 18:45, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

m:Requests for comment/Default import sources[edit source]

m:Requests for comment/Default import sources is an interesting RFC. If accepted, it would, in my opinion, be beneficial also to new wikis. I recommend everyone to check it out and opine there. --MF-W {a, b} 00:30, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Opt-in to global sysop (GS) wikiset[edit source]

Hello,

I would like to suggest you opt in to the global sysop wikiset, allowing global sysops to do maintenance there. This would allow global sysops to help you with anti-vandalism actions, especially when crosswiki. What do you think?

--Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:24, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

I wouldn't mind this. I recently thought about it as well, it would be useful especially since at the moment we have an influx of vandals from other wikis taking out their boring beef here. --MF-W {a, b} 11:37, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Note: This was Yes check.svg Done. I had requested the wikiset change here. --MF-W {a, b} 13:11, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Visual Editor out of beta[edit source]

Currently, in the Incubator the Visual Editor is beta feature and it's disabled by default. This means that it's not available at all to anonymous editors, and not obviously available to logged-in users either.

I suggest moving it out of beta, so that all editors will be able to easily choose which one to use. This was already done in almost all Wikipedias and in many other wikis. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 07:06, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

But this is actually available to all the users who have account in Incubator right? I am anyway able to use it. So, I am not sure what blocks others from accessing this. Adithyak1997 (talk) 07:13, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
Yes, that's why the proposal specifies that it's not available to anonymous editors at the moment. --MF-W {a, b} 11:38, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Project deletion is not complete[edit source]

It is shown in Wp/awa page that the test is moved to independent domain. But there are pages present here, which I think needs to be deleted. An example page is Wp/awa/अधीर रंजन चौधरी. It actually exists in the local wiki as well. Sorry if I am too early to ask, as the project was exported to new domain on May 20 only. Adithyak1997 (talk) 17:34, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

The deletion of created projects is tracked at I:SCL. It's currently a bit behind, but we always leave one or two projects not deleted to check/demonstrate the functions of locking page editing and giving redirects to the new wiki. --MF-W {a, b} 14:57, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Download the incubator encyclopedia for use in Kiwix[edit source]

Hello, I would like to know the process to download the hatchery project and use it in Kiwix.

Celtic Knot talk about the Incubator[edit source]

Video talk
Slides in PDF

Hi,

The Celtic Knot conference begins today. See meta:Celtic Knot Conference 2020 for full information about it.

One of the talks there is by myself, and it's about the Incubator. It's mostly about the things that I raised on the Community Portal in 2018 and also on the page Incubator:Reform discussions.

Comments, positive and negative, from anybody who feels related to the Incubator in any way, are very welcome.

I am quite sure that the rest of the conference is very interesting to people in the Incubator community, too, so check out all the talks! --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 09:55, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your interesting talk. Just a minuscule comment about slide 25, "Every page has to be in a category, added manually": There's no policy that pages need to be put into a category. But of course the more annoying point, that if a category is used, it needs to have a prefix, is true. --MF-W {a, b} 12:28, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Wiki is now Fandom[edit source]

I was just translating Help:Manual into Swedish and noticed that there was this link on the ninth row that linked to wikia. Now, Wikia doesn't exist anymore but rather they've changed name and domain to Fandom.com. So the link here doesn't work. Could someone fix it? --Sabelöga (talk) 07:20, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

The interwiki link "wikia" still works, even though it now lands at "fandom". --MF-W {a, b} 13:18, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
You're right about that, though I opened it in the editor and it produced an error, but maybe that happens with all prefixes now that I think of it. --Sabelöga (talk) 15:15, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Templates with just the project name[edit source]

Hi, I've noticed there's some templates in test projects just called Template:Wp/xyz (such as Template:Wp/arq) which means the pages won't get imported if they eventually get approved (as they would be imported to Template: which is impossible to access). Maybe an Abuse Filter should be set to disallow users from creating pages with names with just the project bit in the Template and Module namespaces as well as their respective talk pages --Nintendofan885 (talk) 22:08, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

I deleted that page now, as it was unused and could be problematic. But the premise "won't get imported" is not necessarily true, so I don't see a pressing need for an abuse filter. Better to contact users who create such templates (if any) and ask them to choose a better name. --MF-W {a, b} 01:07, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
Oh ok, thanks. The "won't get imported" bit was just because I originally thought they wouldn't be imported but then forgot to change the first bit of the message when I realised they would --Nintendofan885 (talk) 08:29, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

NEW: Lists of technical resources and recommendations for smaller language wikis![edit source]

Hello everyone, As part of the Small wiki toolkits initiative, a Starter kit has been developed for smaller language Wikimedia wikis! This Starter kit lists resources, tools, and recommendations in technical areas (e.g., templates, bots, gadgets, etc.) relevant to smaller wikis that are just getting started. Small wiki contributors can use it to make their community's workflow easier. You can now use and promote the Starter kit in your wiki community, and start translating the landing page and its subpages in a language you want.

If you have any questions, ideas for venues where it should be shared or wiki pages where it should be linked, or any other suggestions for improving it further, please share on this talk page.

If you are interested in helping with the Small Wiki Toolkits initiative and can offer help with running workshops, developing toolkits, or exchanging problems and challenges in smaller wiki communities, add yourself as a member here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Members. --SSethi (WMF) (talk) 18:36, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Does the MassDelete gadget work as intended here? It's not working at mul.ws[edit source]

Since s:lij: just graduated from s:mul:, we have thousands of pages to delete. It's pretty exhausting doing it manually and while MediaWiki:Gadget-massdelete.js is very helpful, the "DELETE ALL PAGES!" option is not working, leaving me having to click 6,000 times. Does delete all pages work here? If so, can someone help me decode why it's not working on mul.ws? Thanks. Additionally, I tried a pywiki solution outlined at mw:Manual:Pywikibot/PAWS and could not get it to work. If anyone wants to help me with that it would be appreciated but that seems much more involved. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 12:22, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes, a fake Special:MassDelete appears and works like a charm. There is no "DELETE ALL PAGES" button though, it just says "Delete". But my knowledge of JS in non-existent, so no idea what could be done to make it work for you. - Maybe User:Ooswesthoesbes can help? He did mass-deletions on oldWS in the past, if I recall correctly. I could also help you with a pywiki solution, probably. --MF-W {a, b} 13:15, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
@MF-Warburg: I was just confused: there is both a gadget (which makes the "DELETE ALL PAGES!" text) and a script (which creates the psuedo-special page). If you look at the logs, you'll see that it's working just fine at mul.ws. Thanks for responding. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 13:52, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
On s:mul:Category:Ligure a red "DELETE ALL PAGES!" appears, as well as a red "X" behind every single page. By using that, the category should be cleared within a few minutes, and it used to do that, but indeed. Something is altered and it no longer works. So unfortunately, the only solution I see is by using a bot with temporary admin access. --OWTB (talk) 15:30, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
@Ooswesthoesbes: Please see above: the massdelet.js script works just fine. See s:mul:Special:Log. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:01, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
I have a small suggestion. Since it's informed by Koavf that it worked recently, please check if you can identify the edits which are made on the Mediawiki namespace. Since Koavf is experienced, I think you can also try by checking the console section in the inspect option by adding ?debug to the url (I don't know whether you have tried this). Adithyak1997 (talk) 16:07, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
@Adithyak1997: s:mul:MediaWiki:Gadget-massdelete.js works just fine, actually. I was wrong. It is a different gadget that doesn't work as I expected. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:01, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
So, it's resolved then? --OWTB (talk) 18:10, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
Resolved enough, yes. The very quick method doesn't work but the pretty quick method does. My labor is reduced by 99% and my time is reduced by 95%, so I am happy. Mieëvaadj. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:22, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
Alright :) Unfortunately, my knowledge of JS is non-existent as well, because it's sad the tool does not work. --OWTB (talk) 06:27, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
@Ooswesthoesbes: No, the tool did work. See the log at mul.ws. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:56, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
You mean MassDelete right? "DELETE ALL PAGES!" does not work for me. --OWTB (talk) 07:19, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
@Ooswesthoesbes: MassDelete via Special:MassDelete works but it does not work if you put your cursor in the field for "Other/additional reason:" and hit "Enter": that was the problem I encountered before. You need to click on the "Delete" button or use tab to focus on it and hit enter. "DELETE ALL PAGES!" does not work. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:09, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Question[edit source]

Is Incubator similar to the Sandbox in Wikipedia ?

Helppublic (talk) 16:01, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

No.
--MF-W {a, b} 17:25, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
@Helppublic: There are no WMF wikis that are purely sandboxes. testwiki: and test2wiki: are used for testing and have pretty broad allowances on what can be posted. Incubator, s:mul:, and betawikiversity: are for starting actual projects. wikispore: is for testing possible sister projects. The closest to what you are thinking of is likely testwikidata: .—Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:03, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Translation Tool[edit source]

Hi, is there a way to use the Translation Tool available in full-fledged Wikipedia for incubators? I find it easier to use the side-by-side method, even if there is not a suggested machine translation that we can use as a starting point. I've tried looking for it here, but haven't been able to find it so far - maybe I missed something? सदस्य (talk) 23:54, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
