Welcome to MediaWiki.org!

Yes, welcome! This site is dedicated to documenting the MediaWiki software, the software behind many wikis, including that of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation projects.
Please, take a look at the following pages. They might prove useful to you as a newcomer here:

If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and find this site useful documentation of the MediaWiki software.

[edit]

Hi, some links you should go through to get started with Translate and familiarise with it a bit in order to understand what we're talking about.

Thanks for the links. I will go through them and get back to you soon :) BPositive (talk) 15:51, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Help:Special pages preparation

[edit]

Thanks for the start. Let me note that full docs are at Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration; I'll just mention the things that need fixing, you'll find the details in the manual.

  • <languages/> must be added at top instead of {{languages}}.
  • Needs empty line after each header.
  • Translatable templates must be called via {{TNT }}.
  • Category must be inserted with {{Langcat}}.
  • Each and every link must use Special:MyLanguage syntax/prefix.
  • Quotations of interface elements should include the message in question directly via the int magic word, for instance in this case «Clicking the link Special:Specialpages» has in italics a link label that depends on user language. You can use, for instance, the qqx trick to find the message name.

Almost everyone makes these mistakes, don't worry. :) Read the whole manual and/or check all these points for the next time you ask a page to be marked for translation. --Nemo 13:32, 18 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Milestone today. :) To get done today:

  2. add i18n etc. to the hover text patch and continue any other task. :)

Migrators

[edit]

In addition to existing translation admins, you may want to check if any of the most active translations editors is interested in getting translation admin bit and helping migrating pages.[1] --Nemo 11:46, 6 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

BPositive, I'm not a translation admin, so, I can't test your tool effectively. Moreover, I'd like to become a TA... But, thanks for the confidence. - Fabsouza1 (talk) 02:43, 8 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

@BPositive: , I didn't see the apply link. I've already asked my flag. Thanks. - Fabsouza1 (talk) 14:43, 9 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
@BPositive: You were right. TA flag granted. I will make the tests on your tool. ASAP. Thank you. - Fabsouza1 (talk) 14:37, 10 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
