Private maken?
Beste,

van mij mag iedereen mijn wiki lezen, enkel schrijven zou ik enkel door mezelf willen laten doen. Ik denk dat ik daarvoor een verkeerde keuze heb gemaakt bij het aanvragen van mijn wiki. Hoe krijg ik het voor elkaar dat enkel ikzelf kan schrijven?

Alvast bedankt! Mvg, Gin.

開拓者 (translation administrator, moved to this page from Requests for permissions)
User: 開拓者 ( contributions &bull; CA &bull; blocks log &bull; rights log &bull; global rights log ) Group: translation administrator Reason: I found out that I can't add translation in some pages and/or sections (such as Phabricator/ja, which is not 100% translated but says so), while I was working to translate some pages into Japanese. It seems that I need this permission to modify sections of translation to an appropriate manner (not just editing the tags).

Additional comments: If I'm granted, I'd like to complete the translation works into Japanese. I might also work on other languages, if possible.--開拓者 (talk) 08:48, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Other users feel free to support/oppose/abstain from this RfP but please state your reasoning below.(copied and moved from Requests for permissions)--開拓者 (talk) 09:42, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Comments/Questions
 * I've fixed that page for you. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 12:12, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. But still I'd like to ask for permission, because I find some pages are not listed (such as System administrators, Contributing, and Dormancy Policy) in Special:LanguageStats/ja (which are part of the policies and should be listed for translation), and others are structurally difficult to translate because the sections are divided within one sentence (in fact, grammatical structures in Japanese are quite different from that of English and other Indo-European languages, making it difficult to translate when divided into too many sections), and I'd like to edit those pages (and others alike, as soon as I find them) to make it easier to translate.--開拓者 (talk) 12:43, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * No concerns, ✅. Though, please do pay attention to any corrections made by other admins. Also note, that you will not be able to make all policy pages translatable as this does not grant the ability to edit fully protected pages. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 20:13, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you :) I'll keep your advice in mind.-- 20:50, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Make several mediawiki pages
I'd like sysops to create a mediawiki page. MediaWiki:Grouppage-abuse should read Meta:Abuse Team and Abuse should be moved to Meta:Abuse Team. The reasoning for this request is that Meta:Abuse sounds like a page where you can report abuse instead of a definition group of a team that deals with abuse --Sau226 (talk) 10:15, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd like comments from other sysops please, before I do this. :) MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 12:13, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * +1 for minor change that indicates it's a role not a place to report. (Meta:Abuse should probably not exist, and Abuse (mainspace) should probably contain information on reporting abuse). -- Cheers, NDKilla ( Talk • Contribs ) 20:43, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, MediaWiki Page created, but the page move is on hold as I can’t seem to move it. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 00:40, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Am not an Admin, but perhaps not "Abuse Team" but "Abuse Patrol" is clearer about what the team does (as in patrol for abuse, not commit it).  03:46 12-Jun-2018
 * Page move is now ✅. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 14:27, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Translation error in Help center
Hi. I've found out that when I try to add the discord link in translated pages, it fails, saying: Saving the translation failed: This namespace is reserved for content page translations. The page you are trying to edit does not seem to correspond any page marked for translation. I guess something's wrong, but I'm not sure what it actually is. It happened after the page was edited by Reception123, so I guess it's something related to the revision, but now the page is protected and only admins can modify it, which is why I post this issue here.-- 10:16, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmm, works for me, could have been a temporary thing? I dunno. -- Void  Whispers 15:14, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Right, I guess it was a temporary thing after all, because it works fine now.-- 00:42, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Marking fully protected pages for translation
Hi, I've been working as a translation admin, and I found out that there are some pages that I think should be marked for translation, but couldn't because they were protected. Thus, I'll post a list of pages to request to mark for translation, so that admins can mark it. Here are the pages I'd like to list up: Thanks for reading.-- 13:15, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Donate - Translation can allow more foreign users to donate to Miraheze.
 * Dormancy Policy - It's one of the important policies regarding wiki, isn't it?
 * Dormancy_Policy/Exemptions - It's a list, but the reasons and the descriptions should be marked for translation, as it can be helpful for those making such requests.
 * Security - It makes it easier for foreign users to report security issues, if any.
 * System administrators - You know, other pages about privileged permissions are all marked for translation, and this should also be, to understand what they do.
 * Copyrights - We should always be aware of copyrights and licenses. No matter what language we use.
 * Template:Wiki created - Though it is manually translated, I think we should use the same extension-based translation.
 * I haven't marked Wiki created(CD) for translation yet, because it causes differences between these two, I will, after Wiki created is marked.
 * Dormancy Policy/Exemptions and System administrators are lists which IMO have no no need for translations. The wiki creation templates are already translated without the translate system. Using translate for these would require modification of User:Void/createWikiNotify.js, and would require usage of Template:TNT. I've marked the other pages for translation. MacFan4000 (Talk Contribs) 17:12, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. Though I'm not sure enough why the page System administrators has no need for translation in your opinion (for other pages, I guess you're right), I'll work on other pages marked for translation.-- 04:42, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Request for adding MediaWiki:Edittools
Hi, I'd like to request for adding edittools on meta, since, as a wiki creator, we use a set of particular templates a lot, and it will be more efficient for us, if we could just click to add such templates. Templates that should be added and the formats are: Thank you.-- 03:39, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * (Wiki created)
 * (Wiki created/de)
 * (Wiki created/es)
 * (Wiki created/fr)
 * (Wiki created/ja)
 * (Wiki created/nl)
 * (Wiki created(CD))
 * (Requestdenyexists)
 * (Requestdenyinvalid)
 * (Requestdenymalformed)
 * (Requestdenytesting)
 * Please also note that for the first 7 templates you mention, you don't need to manually add them, you can just use this script in your settings, and it will do it for you after you created the wiki. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 05:31, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I guess you're right about the first 7 templates, but for declined requests, we still need to manually type those templates, and it's better for us if we can just add them by clicking.-- 09:00, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Not exactly sure how it works, but I see no issue in adding the templates. Reception123 (talk) ('C' ) 10:50, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
