Note here: 1 and the constant reversals, as well as leaving edition summaries to the pages that, according to him, I was involved in the articles related to musicians, celebrities, etc. which my edits appear as non-constructive as well: this and this. 148.0.125.246 15:32, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Please help me update Vietnamese translations on CNBanner. Thanks! Tryvix ^t 14:32, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

@Tryvix1509 what do you need a sysop to do right now, is there a pending translation that needs a tadmin to approve? If you are just looking for translators you can try Meta talk:Babylon. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:24, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

I have already reviewed translations (1 & 2). This needs to be updated by a CN admin through Central Notice as such two pages will be created MediaWiki:Centralnotice-africanday2023anononly-text1/vi and MediaWiki:Centralnotice-africanday2023anononly-text2/vi. I think manually creating them is not a recommended procedure. Kind regards, Tulsi 24x7 14:29, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Comment for Meta:Requests for comment/Limit creation of Wikipedia, etc. in minor languages

Here @John Smith Ri: opened Meta-RfC and stated the creation of new Wikipedias (perhaps the user here meaning all Wikimedia projects) except Wikisource should be restricted to languages with not most speakers. I think also wrong to open it as Meta-RfC since it covers all Wikimedia wikis, not only for Meta-Wiki. Also, I see reference already in article 4 of Language proposal policy on the creation of new wikis that can have contribute to projects by most speakers of languages. Any ideas from the language committee (eg:@MF-Warburg and Sotiale:) or the other admins? I think this page will be improve as a more reasonably detailed RfC or be deleted. --Uncitoyen^talk 12:05, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Since this is not a Meta-Wiki only issue this should be moved out of the Meta namespace. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:23, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

I went ahead and moved it since it was obviously in the wrong namespace. No redirects left as it was not linked anywhere that I could see via WhatLinksHere. No comments as to the RFC itself. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:27, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

 Declined Autopatrol rights are different here.

They are not live yet, but I am not sure if the translation extension works that way? I would like the translation for de: to be blank again, to not confuse people that want to do the translation.

SA 13 Bro and machine translation

Hello, user:SA 13 Bro has retired for a long time, but today when I patrolled around translations, I found this user has a history of introducing poor quality/ machine translations. For example, on 関西ウィキメディアユーザ会/zh, some of their translations are gibberish and cannot be understand, such as '關西維基展台在2010年的關西開放源代碼' and '非會議'. Some users have told them stop machine translating on their talk pages on 2021, but this user created a lot of translations, after 2 years some still alive here. I'd like to request communities' help to clean up these mess.--Lemonaka (talk) 05:08, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Rescuing as apparent COI as if I trust what they put on their userpage is true, we will be from the same region. My 2 cents, the translations is indeed poor but if I may comment that seems to arise from a lower level of comfort in Chinese language and something we have in zhwp called w:zh:WP:翻译腔 issues. In more technical terms, it means the person is just doing translation on a formal equivalence level but not dynamic equivalence level. Making it worse is their grasp of the language and hence, some of translations I agree they are not readable. However, I don't think any sanctions is appropriate here as blocks etc are preventative not punitive and since they did not edit for a while I don't see how they are beneficial. In addition, some communication might be helpful and they aren't not responding while editing elsewhere. I don't see a conduct issue per say here as their contributions is in good faith. For translation issues well the discussion can take place on talkpage, Meta:Babylon or elsewhere. That said, I will flag the translations for review and I think will be beneficial for someone else without COI to address. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 10:09, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

+ I am having a headache reading the translations, but since I don't know ja at all I don't think I can clean them up. I am hesitant to dlete them as copyediting the translations might be a better approach. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 10:16, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, the purpose of this topic is not asking for a block or sanction, just ask for help from local communities. You had a headache, so did I. I don't know how to correct them because they are messy and vague. Lemonaka (talk) 11:24, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

@Camouflaged Mirage Hah, I came up of an idea of solving that, First of all, please check English translation of that page, if they are accurate, other volunteers including me can help to trim Chinese translations. But first of all, Please SD these previous Chinese translations per low quality. Thanks. Lemonaka (talk) 18:08, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

@Lemonaka The issue is that I'm ja-0, so I am in no position to evaluate the state of en translations. I mean we can delete the zh translations, but well just editing them works too so I am not really inclined to delete. I am not opposed too but that seem more proper for RFD than here. If you aren't asking for a block or etc, I think this discussion of the translations can be held elsewhere as there isn't exactly needing of admin help but help in general which can and should take place elsewhere. Thanks much. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 06:40, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Upon thinking, what I am concerned about now is should the user continue to hold (auto)patrol permissions given they are creating subpar pages (or a claim had been made). Pinging @Base as granter of AP and @Steinsplitter as granting of patroller. If no objections I am inclined to remove the privs as their edits do need to be patrolled. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 10:27, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

I have no objections with regards to removal of the rights. --Base (talk) 10:57, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Removed patroller. I think this will flag the edits for review and other issues as mentioned above can be addressed elsewhere. I do not see any further actions at this moment. Is this okay @Lemonaka. Thanks. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 10:34, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Celebrate Women translations; strange...?

Hi! There is an external link that seems to popup on every translated version of the page Celebrate Women, right before the header in the page: example link. I don't have time to look into it this week, but it does not seem to be in the source code of the page. Was it included in every translation individually...? Help in solving would be appreciated! (courtesy ping for @Astinson (WMF)) Ciell (talk) 12:42, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

Done The spamming link was introduced, then the page was marked for translation, importing the spam to all translation pages. Then, the link was removed from source page page, but the source page was not yet marked for translation, keeping translation pages outdated.

MassMessage sender - option for CEE Hub

Hi, I`m Toni Ristovski, employee in the newly formed regional CEE Hub, and together with my colleague @BKlen-CEEhub we are exploring options to message communities across our CEE Region on their Village Pumps for various activities that CEE Hub will start very soon (as office hours, workshops, CEE Spring, etc.). As I`m myself admin on mk.wiki (under username Ehrlich91), I know option mass message, that we would like to use, so I would like to ask you, how it is procedure to obtain such status (massmessage sender) here, and if it is not possible, how it is possible to sent these messages to the communities.

That wouldn't be possible without the use of an edit filter — as it stands, only administrators can edit the page. As you are already an admin (and any other members of staff can request admin rights), will this be okay? — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 18:29, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Erm, I'm a temporary translationadmin, not an admin :) alternatively, depending on where the thing stands with possible disruptive edits to the pages, would it make sense to reduce the length from indefinite to say, 2 weeks? The feedback cycle ends on April 24. Thanks! RamzyM (WMF) (talk) 18:34, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Sure, set it to expire in 2 weeks, just let us know here if you need any other changes; also used the odd "TA" protection so you (and other TA's/CNA's) should be able to edit it for now. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:44, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

That works. Thank you very much! RamzyM (WMF) (talk) 04:33, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

MassMessage for Pyb en résidence

Hello,

I would like to have massmessage right to send out a newsletter about French universities, delivered to talk pages. We only send the newsletter, to people on a list created on Meta. It's part of my work as a wikimedian in residence. The draft for March is available on the French Wikipedia. Pyb en résidence (talk) 08:58, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

@Pyb en résidence please point to your delivery target list. — xaosflux ^Talk 09:06, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

@Xaosflux the target list will be on this page: WikiESR. Pyb en résidence (talk) 10:12, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

@Pyb en résidence is this only from and for people on the French Wikipedia? — xaosflux ^Talk 14:29, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

@Xaosflux The newsletter will be in French, but universities are doing stuff on Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata, so I believe that those 3 communities might be interested by this newsletter. That is why I've put the target list on meta. Pyb en résidence (talk) 14:36, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Granted on the basis that user is trusted and is sysop on large wiki i.e., Commons. @Pyb en résidence: Please let us know when you don't need it. Kind regards, Tulsi 24x7 02:31, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Unjustified blocking in Wiktionary from the admin User:Vininn126

Hi. I was blocked for 30 days. I think this admin behaves with partiality and blocks without reason. I made only 1 one edit cancellation out of 2 possible ones. Please help me. Gnosandes (talk) 19:44, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

There is nothing the meta-wiki admins can do about blocks on that project, see this page for information on blocks there. — xaosflux ^Talk 22:09, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
