Request for translation administrator (YellowFrogger)
I want to have rights that have never been revoked: As a Translation Administrator, I would mark some pages for translation with translate tag given my active contribution in translation, and my other language (no wonder most translation admins speak another language). As you can see here: User talk: YellowFrogger, Dmehus (he was the one who re-established my Autopatrolled rights) supports that I need these rights. Note: My English is a medium level, I use the translator just to make sure some words I don't know. But I don't trust one bit Thanks. YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits ) 23:11, 15 December 2021 (UTC)


 * This seems reasonable to me given the user's involvement in translation and apparent competence with the tools, as well as offer a fair opportunity to contribute and prove himself in this technical aspect. --Raidarr (talk) 01:44, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Yea! And what stands out from the translation admninistrator is speaking other languages. thanks for considering YellowFrogger (✉ Talk  ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 01:48, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd probably expect that part, but the nice thing for TA is the technical marking they do and familiarity with the process. To be fair and for Administrators to note however, I am not authoritative on the TA process, and if I have the wrong impression here they may by all means disregard it. --Raidarr (talk) 01:52, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Pursuant to statements on Discord including the religious use of machine translation and other raised notes, I revoke my above statement in full. --Raidarr (talk) 02:32, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I use the translator but I don't trust it. I don't think you even knew that, (and yes, my English isn't totally bad, I understand and check things out). YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 02:35, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Another, translation admins don't really need to be fluent either. Just mark pages for translation. If not, there would have to be a group to translate pages, and my translations are good. YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 02:41, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * If machine translations have been used systematically and without careful review then I'm inclined to remove all your translations. Given your recent conduct and the fact that translations are your major contribution, I'm also leaning on a block. ~ RhinosF1 - (chat)· acc· c -  10:15, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * But most people do. And as well, why my recent conduct? I don't remember breaking any rules. YellowFrogger</b> (✉ Talk </b> ✐ Edits </b>)</b> 16:57, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Machine translations are usually of poor quality and anyone using them risks them being deleted if we can't review them confidently. Luckily, we have Lake who is a native speaker and was able to check yours without finding too many issues.

Plus, will you please describe this recent edit (not talking about the edit summary). --Magogre (talk) 04:37, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * From recent contributions it appears to me that you may be going too quickly into things and it might be best to slow down before requesting rights and take time to understand the functioning of the Meta system. I also agree that using machine translations for translating is not appropriate and is not the point of human translators. --DeeM28 (talk) 18:46, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

UI and UX improvements
Hi! I am new here and not sure where to propose a Possible UI improvement. Can someone direct me where UI and UX is discussed? ZBlace (talk) 05:57, 16 December 2021 (UTC)


 * On the Community noticeboard or our Discord server/IRC channel. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 05:57, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! You are free to delete this thread to keep the page clean as this was to specific question of little use for others. ZBlace (talk) 07:45, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Moved topic to M:AN, as Noticeboards shouldn't really have talkpages really, unless it relates to changing something about the noticeboard itself. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 08:31, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * OK - I wrote proposal on community noticeboard, but it did not get picked up by any interface admins as far as I see. --ZBlace (talk) 20:25, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * By the fact that changes to MediaWiki:Sidebar can only be made by Interface administrators (you requested a change to the Meta-Wiki Sidebar), so I think it was meant to be right here. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 20:32, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Update link
Could someone please update the "Community Wishlist Survey" link in the "What do you want to see implemented in Miraheze in 2022? Participate in our Community Wishlist Survey and let us know!" notice to go directly to the new title Community Wishlist for 2022? GTrang (talk) 04:37, 21 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Apologies for the delay but this was ✅ yesterday. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 12:36, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Community portal
As you know, when on mobile (which accounts for most visits) features the Special:MobileOptions, and with the advanced configuration it is shown in the main menu that "community portal" page that it is actually no longer in use and is protected from further editing. I suggest that someone redirect this page to the Community noticeboard, or build a new community portal linking to the noticeboards, or better, suggest that the user do their own questions in the Community noticeboard or stewards noticeboard. This would perhaps avoid confusion. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 23:47, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
 * There are plans to revive the Community portal in the near future but I do agree the link should be changed if it redirects users to a page that is not in use. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 23:50, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
 * YellowFrogger, thank you for noticing. That is the former community noticeboard, and contains a historical archive. It's on my radar, but I'm not sure the best way to go about correcting this. We could probably history merge it into Community noticeboard/Archive 1, then create Community portal as a local Meta Wiki only community discussion forum. It's definitely on my radar, but quite low priority for the moment. Dmehus (talk) 23:51, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Exactly. I'd like to see you do this or exactly that, (even if that's not a big priority). --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 02:27, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
 * YellowFrogger, ✅ the requested history merge at here, with a note to the follow up request at my user talk page (new diff #1 and old diff #2). Additionally, I would just like to thank for Pinus/Matsu for previously providing the suggestion. Note that I have additionally redirected Community portal to community noticeboard only temporarily if and/or until it is repurposed as a Meta Wiki-specific community discussion portal.

Trust and Safety courtesy notice to Meta administrators regarding BlackWidowMovie0
Meta administrators,

I'm Doug, a Trust and Safety Responder for Miraheze Limited, and I wanted to provide you with this courtesy notice regarding BlackWidowMovie0. The user was the subject of a full service ban, pursuant to the Terms of Use and originally effected by SRE on behalf of the Board of Directors of Miraheze Limited, it has been replaced with a partial service ban by way of local block on Meta Wiki. The local block was originally imposed by, primarily, two different Meta administrators, one of which was myself in a community capacity and the other of which was Reception123 in a community capacity. As articulated here at the user's user talk page, in order to enforce the restrictions of and conditions in place for the user's partial Trust and Safety service ban, as Meta Wiki is the central coordination wiki by which wikis are requested by users, a Meta Wiki block was necessary. Please note that this is in addition to, and not a replace of, the Meta–imposed block, and further that Meta administrators are free, should they choose, to provide notice to the user that their Meta administrator block has been lifted, but that should that occur, the Trust and Safety–imposed Meta Wiki block would remain. The inverse of this would also be true. Many thanks! :)

Should you have any procedural questions related to the above, I'm happy to answer them here. As always, any enquiries relating to this can be sent to the Trust and Safety team at.

Thanks,

Doug (talk) 18:59, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Patroller renounce Request (YellowFrogger)
Hello. Given my edits not adding much, (including peanut edits, reverted, etc) I request that I be demoted from patroller to (none), so that my edits are patrolled and further analyzed by volunteers. I'm inclined to request again just in another month. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 18:43, 9 January 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm going to mark this as ❌. You're showing capacity to learn from what are very minor mistakes in patrolling. Dmehus (talk) 18:59, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Agreed, if you think I'm not good, or that I deserve a revocation, remove it and tell me why. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 20:13, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I was not aware that they had patroller in the first place. Last I checked it had been revoked and if it had been restored I missed that. This user definitely should not be a patroller, although I am glad they recognize that and drew attention to it. I am not sure why the removal request was marked as not done, both because it was a very valid one and was a self-removal of rights request. Naleksuh (talk) 20:22, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Doug recommended me to wait at least (30) thirty days for me to request patroller, I did almost exactly that and he restored by "I maked genuine steps". What I'm pointing out here is because my latest edits need more monitoring from the patrollers themselves, and in order for the red (exclamation mark) to come back to my edits. --YellowFrogger  (Talk — ✐) 20:44, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Naleksuh, the reason I did not act on YellowFrogger's patroller user group removal requests is because I felt this was a sudden, knee-jerk request. In the past, we've historically held off on such requests, including when Universal Omega had previously requested his interwiki administrator bit be removed (circa November 2020). While the patroller bit can easily be re-added as quickly as it can be removed, on the other hand, we don't want to just be adding and removing bits upon request. If YellowFrogger insists on removing the patroller bit, then I will do that, but they should take that into consideration in terms of future near-term re-requests. Dmehus (talk) 21:07, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
 * To point out about the previous repeal, expanding on Dmehus comment, this was actually applied by a somewhat controversial admin who doesn't assume the good faith, for a silly thread that doesn't take anything on a Discord server. Users like Universal Omega don't like him very much. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 22:48, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
 * YellowFrogger, so are you wishing to rescind your resignation request, or are you still wanting to proceed? Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 22:56, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Continue the rights even with the above user agreeing to renounce. I already explained to him above the reason for the revocation, although I was wrong in this story, there was no reason to generalize. If you see a negative change to my edits (if they are excessively disruptive) you can revoke the patroller's rights, and of course explain the reasons, as this usually helps to change the course of my type of edit, just as revoking caused me. lately. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 23:12, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Can't back the English text
I started to translate the paragraph "Сфера ответственности" from English to Russian. When I translated the first sentence and saved it, the rest English text of the paragraph disappeared. I don't know how to back it. RedFox (talk) 19:19, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
 * RedFox, I've procedurally ✅ this request from the talk page language subpage for both greater visibility, response time, and because talk page subpages should generally not be used. An administrator translation administrator should respond to your question shortly. Dmehus (talk) 19:40, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Bukkit, thanks for the reminder that the  was still on your alternate account, so ✅. Also, I noticed that you're still using your old username for Bukkit (Public), so should be updated. Also, a pro tip, for wikilinks with spaces in them, it's best to replace the page-stretching underscores with spaces. See DannyS712's Easy Link user script, which adds a link to your sidebar (locally or globally, depending on which user JS file you use) and which you may find useful for this purpose. Thanks.

Request for variable
Hi! As the Meta-Wiki here on Miraheze doesn't need to change the interwiki table, concluding that everything here is translated through the translation extension: mw:Extension:Translate, I ask you to disable this function, $wgMinervaAlwaysShowLanguageButton (In Special:ManageWiki/settings#mw-section-localization ManageWiki). This will remove that language icon in the MinervaNeue theme (the current mobile theme here), and will of course avoid confusion, as we don't need another site to be multilingual, as stated above. Sites like MediaWiki already do this, maybe doing it here is good and won't hurt either. The tag will show the page in other languages. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 18:13, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * After a conversation on the Discord server nothing happened here. I ❌,admitting my indignation, because the same thing will happen with the SandBox that nobody replied, neither refuses nor approves, it is for this and other reasons that, in my opinion, there should not be administrators noticeboard or include in the Meta namespace. I didn't like the posture of users over there, playing with my request while I was being serious. This here is very simple to solve, until the analysis, regarding the addition of this function using only ManageWiki. Definitely, in a few months, some more respected user will place an order and it will be accepted, or else activated on its own, but remember that I was the first to request this here. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 06:39, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I reopened this here. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 17:57, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * In response to Doug on Disc, yes, I still believe (hopefully) that the next admin who requests this will have the same delay. The scope is clear here, this includes something that probably sites that don't need others disable the language icon in MinervaNeue, and it even shows "This page doesn't exist in other languages", of course it exists, it's translated locally with Extension: Translate. Also, I would recommend that you reply me that you are busy, not following what users were doing (does not include the joking part as you are respectful, more ignoring). You could have asked me to wait, if you said that, I probably lost --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 06:56, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * If there's no meaningful objections to this after a week or so, I think we can consider disabling it. Dmehus (talk) 07:04, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I reopened. I'm not expecting an immediate response (decline/approval). But this is technical here at Meta, but it's still low priority. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 17:55, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Cats478.jpg

--YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 18:06, 12 January 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm not very technically proficient with this topic and I'm not in the best position to research, but I would like to see input on the merit here since at face value, it's at least worth considering. --Raidarr (talk) 22:32, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Dmehus won't be back for a few days now. This here is not of extreme urgency, but I guarantee, it will help not to confuse mobile users. This icon in Minerva says that there are no pages in the other language, while in fact the page is internally translated and the tag does this service by showing the expected languages. --YellowFrogger  (Talk — ✐) 22:39, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Extensions
Is there currently a translation administrator available to mark the recent change on the Extensions page for translation? Thanks --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 20:03, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 21:18, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I also expected an extension like this in Miraheze, however, PageViewInfo is WMF specific and HitCounters doesn't work. PageViewinfo shows views in the last thirty days in &action=info with API modules, like Wikipedia, including a very interesting graph showing the drops/rises of page views . I'm sure this is better than Matomo (because it shows on each page) then we would see the engagement of a wiki, and the best, each page. HitCounters is more limited and previously (in older versions of MW, including Monobook) they were automatically displayed in the footers of wikis, the functionality was removed, but it is still possible to install, I don't understand why it is not possible in Miraheze, PageViewInfo is perhaps more real/less liar because HitCounters changes page views with each update. I hope that one day, PageViewInfo will be set for all wikis besides WMF and also Miraheze, even if a MediaWiki page shows the installation tutorial. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 21:36, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The second part of this seems better suited to perhaps the Community Noticeboard for its broad nature, or perhaps inquiry via discord to SRE for faster response.--Raidarr (talk) 22:06, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * This was another statement of mine. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 22:59, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't understand your point, you seem to have gone from asking to mark a page for translation to talking about 2 previously declined extensions. As previously discussed, PageViewInfo is very Wikimedia-specific (as you noted) and HitCounters has a horrible performance issue and was previously broken. I've used Matomo through it's dashboard and it is a very, very powerful and detailed tool but there is currently no way to show public, detailed statistics per T7512. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 23:51, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * That statement of yours at the end made me curious. There is a way to access Matomo besides that normal page (your dashboard, according to you)? Where do I get access? --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 00:03, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The tool is only available for those with an LDAP account (SRE, Board and T&S). It is not available to normal users due to the amount of personal data that is available on it. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 00:32, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Strange. What personal data does this have? --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 00:54, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Anpang, with an acknowledgement to YellowFrogger's response, I've ✅ this, per your request. However, I've not done it as a history merge; I've deleted the two redirect templates as simply unused, or with little use, and because it's better to consolidate transclusions against a single template in order to track and maintain usage.

Sitenotice
Hello. It seems that the only user who maintains sitenotice global is Agent. There was supposed to be a warning about involuntarily closed wikis/errors caused by migration, this might help desperate users. If this were to be done today, unfortunately it would be late, as it was supposed to be done earlier. I was even surprised that Miraheze didn't make any post-migration website notices. But now, it seems unnecessary. --YellowFrogger (Talk — ✐) 03:14, 17 January 2022 (UTC)


 * YellowFrogger, So there are local sitenotices, for Meta Wiki-specific announcements, in this case, global central notices, which primarily Stewards administrator, and GitHub repository sitenotices, which Agent takes care of, for SRE-related maintenance or notices (i.e., extension removals), the latter of which can be applied to specific wikis or to all wikis. It's not what clear you're asking for, but this seems to be GitHub repository-related, so closing as ❌. Dmehus (talk) 03:23, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I asked my fellow SRE collogues if we could add a sitenotice for the closed wikis/SVG image issues but they said that it wouldn't be necessary which is why they're not on. Either way, most outstanding issues have thankfully been fixed. Agent Isai  Talk to me! 05:19, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

I'd like to create some redirect pages for common search terms (as discussed in Discord, and within reasonable limits of course) to help users better find sections within articles commonly asked about on Discord. Later, if appropriate, I may be able to help out on some other stuff occasionally as well. Thanks! | -- FrozenPlum  (Talk / Email) 01:03, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Reliable and unproblematic editor. I see no apparent need to continue patrolling. dross  (t • c • g) 06:39, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Closed wikis

Any translation administrator to mark recent changes for translation? I made some changes talking about the need for local election after an RfC, the content on this page was out of date and I've updated it now with this information.

Soon I will remove the warning  if necessary

Request to delete
Please delete the following pages: These are all the deleted translation units and there is no point to keep them. Thanks, Magogre (talk) 08:29, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Hm, so it was this request that led to the deletion of the page (translated through) (although that page doesn't even have much content). I will recreate. --<span style="background:linear-gradient(90deg,#89005E,#89005E, #FF00AF); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">YellowFrogger ( talk ) ( ✔ ) 05:09, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

 * , you deleted the entire translated pages of Staff/hi and Staff/pt-br. I only requested to delete the above pages; others were fine. Magogre (talk) 05:29, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Magogre, yeah, but that would've been problematic to try and delete all those pages individually. Since the  translation was less than 20% complete, with only the page title translated, this left only the   translation. As it was only a few short sentences, it was simpler just to delete the page and have it be retranslated. Thanks. Dmehus (talk) 06:06, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * , that's fine and it was no big harm but I believe user contributions and their time should be respected. That was my main point and that is why I took my half an hour to filter the above pages instead of just requesting the deletion of Staff/hi, Staff/en and Staff/pt-br. Indeed, it can be translated again. YF has already translated it to pt-br. --Magogre (talk) 07:59, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Magogre, they are. That's why I thanked ThisIsACreeper1101 explicitly in my log summary. Dmehus (talk) 08:28, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
