Translation of the deployment pages (MediaWiki 1.23/wmf11)

These pages have the same structure, so I created a translatable template. I have in the idea of making it auto-translatable in the user language; I don’t think it is currently possible, but I’m working on on Meta. ({{TNT}} is in the page language, and Commons uses {{Fallback}} and {{int:lang}} to achieve that, but there could be way of doing this entirely in Lua.)

If there are no objections, I will remove the translation requests on the deployment pages and use the template; so these will be only in English until the auto-translation is activated.

Yes. Actually, I doubt those pages need to be translatable at all any longer. Nowadays the announcements are done via m:Tech/News for the broader public and wikitech:Deployment highlights for the techies.

Preparing pages

Hello! I will be preparing some pages for migration.

Currently I am working on Help:Namespaces.

Thanks, Alex

Thanks, approved: I made a couple edits, check them. Please also update the list.

Translation copied to Help:Namespaces.

I have prepared Manual:What_is_MediaWiki? for migration.

MegaAlex (talk)‎

Ok, marked

Help:Namespaces is done.

Developer hub is prepared.

Hmm, there are lots of links there that should ideally use Special:MyLanguage but I'm not sure how to do it cleanly and without multiplying translation units, so I'll let it be: approved! Now to the importing. :)

Translations imported to Developer hub. However I wasn't able to make the {{Hubs}} template translatable.

Compatibility is prepared for migration.

Thanks!

Please fix the langcat.

Oops, fixed. :)

Compatibility is done.

Help:Patrolled edits is prepared. Thanks!

Thanks. All the {{MW version}} templates need not be translated and there's no reason to split "To mark an edit as patrolled" from the rest of the sentence/points of the list.

Fixed. :)

Translations copied to Help:Patrolled edits.

Help:Recent changes is prepared for migration. Thanks!

Help:Patrolled edits is done.

Unicode normalization considerations and Version are prepared. Thank you! :)

Thanks for Help:Magic words. A few things:

I'm not sure it's necessary to translate "1.5+" and the like, most languages would leave it as is. Perhaps we can leave it untranslated and see later whether to add it? Unless one of the translation pages already needs it.
In the ns table there are some <translate>or</translate> and some "or" not in translation tags. You should tag all or none. It seems a bit silly to translate "or" so many time (and lego sentences are not pretty), maybe we can just use / there and avoid translating, or something like that? Or at worst use a template.
You don't need Special:MyLanguage for links to Special: pages.
Here you should leave the small and br outside the translate tag: <small>{{warning}} If you don't input numbers in the exact format required, don't expect any reliable output, especially on non-English wikis.</small><br/> (when markup is not part of the sentence it can always be left out).

The "+" is translated is some Asian languages I think (for example Help:Magic_words/ja).

What about the "or"-s, what do you think the best solution for that is?

As for the internal links, the page is WIP and I was going to add them today. :)

Thanks for the review!

Ok, then please use Template:MW version with the new compact parameter instead of all those numbers.
Let's try untranslated slahes "/" instead of the "or" for now.
There are still some links to a non-existing w:Special:MyLanguage etc.

I think that it should be OK now.

Thanks!

Help:Magic words is done.

User hub is prepared for migration.

Thanks! :)

Stellar work at Help:Magic words!!!

Marked. The links here are reasonably short and stable, but when they get longer (as with other markup) you may consider using tvar syntax.

Thanks! :)

User hub is done.

Sysadmin hub is prepared.

As for the tvar syntax - could you please give me an example on how it should be used for links? :)

You can see an example at m:Tech/News/2014/02. Let me know if you plan to use it in sysadmin hub too (translating so many links makes updates a bit hard).

I have added tvars to Sysadmin hub.

Thanks!

Translations copied to Sysadmin hub.

Help:Parser functions in templates, Translatewiki.net, Help:New pages are prepared for migration.

Thanks!

Those 3 pages are done.

Mailing lists and Help:Skins are prepared.

Thanks! :)

Translations copied to Mailing lists and Help:Skins.

Manual:Magic words is prepared for migration.

Thank you!

Manual: Magic words is done.

Development and UNC links are prepared.

Thanks!

Development and UNC links are done.

Manual:Installation guide is prepared for migration.

Thanks!

activate translation

I added translation-tags to a page (Help:Bad title). What should I do to inform a translation administrator to activate the translation function? I'm working on the code in task.

Davidmuecke96 (talk)‎

It's ok to just strike them as you did.

thanks :)

Davidmuecke96 (talk)‎

I've marked one, but Help:Bad title doesn't convince me, it makes little sense to translate those URLs; can you pick another page, preferably with some existing translation? Remember to add <languages/> and {{langcat}} and pay attention to newlines, you had broken formatting.

I worked on Cross-site scripting(https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting). I hope this page is better. I don't get what I should do with 'langcat'?
