Hello, I'm Reception123, a wiki creator here at Miraheze. This message is to inform you that your recent wiki request has been declined as the request was invalid. Wiki requests may be considered invalid for any of the following reasons:


 * The requested subdomain/URL contained a hyphen (-), as these cannot be created for technical reasons
 * The default "boilerplate" URL and site name were not replaced (i.e. a request for "subdomain.miraheze.org" is invalid)
 * There was not enough information in the request comments to verify that the wiki will be in compliance with our Content Policy
 * Another wiki with the same URL already exists
 * The main purpose of the wiki appears to be testing MediaWiki - please use Public Test Wiki for that purpose

A comment should have been left on your wiki request explaining why your request was declined (usually it is one of the above four problems). You are invited to correct the problems with your request and then resubmit it for review. You can edit your existing wiki request to correct problems and do not need to open a new request. Please do not open a new request for the exact same wiki without correcting previous problems, and please do not reopen the original request without correcting previous problems. If you have any questions, please leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Reception123 (talk) ( C ) 11:36, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

About meta links
Hi,thank you for participating in the translation.:)The meta page name basically uses English, so for meta links, the left half of the pipe link is /hu after the English name if the translated page exists (creates). If the translation page does not exist, leave it as is.The right half will be the part that will be displayed on the page, so it's correct to translate.thanks.--松•Matsu (talk) 13:15, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Ok, I see. And when a page is ready to translate, then what to do? Because I have translated a page and it says that 86%, even 100% is done. Why? But otherwise it's very useful to translate. Thanks, --Lois (talk) 14:01, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The part marked with the pen silhouette can still be translated.The pages to translate include FAQ/hu.thanks.--松•Matsu (talk) 14:15, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * See page Special:Log/pagetranslation for translation instructions.I also left some examples on the Hungarian main page.When creating a translation page, you can create a Hungarian translation page by adding /hu after the English page and searching in meta.--松•Matsu (talk) 14:41, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I forgot to write, please create a translation page only for pages designated to be translated--松•Matsu (talk) 14:46, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * What kind of translation page should I create? A regular wiki page called "Translations"? Many pages need to be translated, almost all of them. --Lois (talk) 15:07, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It is late in 's time zone, so he asked me to assist you with translating pages on Meta using the Translate extension. If I've understood correctly, you're just wanting to know what the next step is in your translating. On the translation subpage (not the one in Translations: namespace), you just click on "Translate," and then any items with a little light blue arrow and a white diagonal line inside (believe that's what Pine meant by pen) are translation units still requiring translation or updating into the given language. So, in your case, you could click here, as one example, and then click into the first translation unit requiring translation. This should produce a dialog box. On the left side is the source language (usually English) and on the right side is the translated language (Hungarian, in this case). The existing English text on the left side is above the box. Copy and paste that text into the box below (on the left side), and the Yandex translation tool should produce a translation to the given language. If you are a native speaker, you can fix any grammatical or linguistic issues that the translation tool may be not be the best at. When you are finished some or all of the remaining translation units, add an edit summary stating the units you've translated, and hit "save" or "submit." An administrator, translation administrator, or patroller will review your work from their review of Special:RecentChanges. Hope this helps. Dmehus (talk) 15:11, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much, everything is understandable. But it will be here tonight too. I have other things to do now. Then I will read your message again tomorrow afternoon. I just have one more question: for example, this word is free template database (in code view) and the first part of it doesn't need to be translated, right? --Lois (talk) 15:42, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Global user pages
Hi Lois,

I'm glad to see you've made a local user page on Meta. While you can, absolutely, have local user pages, as you are quite active on Miraheze globally already, I thought I should make you aware of global user pages. Not all Miraheze wikis will have this extension enabled, but on those that do, and provided they don't also use the SocialProfile extension, your global user page will be displayed on any wiki where you do not currently have a local user page. There are some limitations to global user pages, however, notably that because it's treated as a non-existent local page, you can't add categories to it (you can add categories to the global user page on the wiki where it exists locally, but those categories apply on that wiki only). As well, if you have a lot of attached accounts to your global account, it's recommended you maintain a local Meta user page which you would update more frequently than your global user page, as frequent updates to one's global user page creates a lot of updates for  and   in terms of cascading the most updated version to the various wikis.

Nevertheless, those caveats aside, I am a big fan of global user pages. If you want to create yours, it is done on Loginwiki, and you can access it at here. There are a number of userbox and user page templates at Category:Userbox Templates and Category:Userboxes, but if you need any more imported, you can contact me on my Meta user talk page.

Cheers,
