Meta:Requests for translation adminship/Ата
- The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a closed Meta-Wiki request. Please do not modify it.
I am already experienced with translatewiki.net. I'd like to request translation adminship here on Meta because I see a need to mark more pages for translation (even such basic pages devoted to user groups as Unregistered user). Using the translate extension is convenient, isn't it? -- Ата (talk) 16:37, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
- Have you taken the chance to read the documentation at mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation example and mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration? --MF-W 13:54, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I've read these pages. The only thing I still want to know is whether there are pages, not recommended to be translated. -- Ата (talk) 18:26, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- Well, there are no specific policies, but it's certainly a good idea not to run around marking pages for use in the Translate extension wildly. Preferably descriptive pages such as info about user groups or policies should be translated. Also note that particular care needs to be taken when migrating a page that was already translated using an old system to the Translate extension (as described on Meta:Translate_extension#Migration). When in doubt, you can always ask on WM:RFH.
For the record, I support this request, because I don't see anything in the user's contributions that would speak against it. --MF-W 16:47, 15 February 2013 (UTC)- I support this request, per MF-Warburg--Steinsplitter (talk) 22:55, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Support We could always use more helpers. Also, I marked Unregistered user for translation. :) πr2 (t • c) 03:39, 16 February 2013 (UTC)- Support --Rschen7754 08:20, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
- Closing as successful, these requests don't require the full seven day period and there is more than enough support to grant Ата this right. As MF-Warburg noted, please don't hesitate to ask at WM:RFH if you have any queries, and I'm also working on translation of pages on Foundation wiki at Translation requests/WMF, so if you'd like to help there, please feel free.
