TRANSLATIONLANGUAGE for new wiki entries

Hi, @Quiddity (WMF). I just thought about this: Should we use {{TRANSLATIONLANGUAGE}} for the int message in the new wiki entries?

Like this: {{int:project-localized-name-group-wikipedia/{{TRANSLATIONLANGUAGE}}}} Cookai🍪 (💬talk) 06:44, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

Done - Aha! Thank you, done in the issue, and in the docs. Cheers, Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 19:13, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

I've submitted a patch which is necessary to support Danish oblique aerial photography. How do I get it reviewed? --ysangkok (talk) 20:55, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi. I cannot see the contents of that link (without creating an account), so I'm not sure when you submitted it.
If it was very recently (in the last few days), and because it's not urgent, then I suggest waiting for a week. He's a very busy volunteer dev, with hundreds of tools!
If it has been more than a week, then you might try asking on his usertalkpage (User talk:Magnus Manske).
For future questions that are not related to Tech News, please ask at the Tech discussion page. Thanks. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 22:08, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
I submitted it on January 3rd. I think people can't access it because it is quarantined. I'll try the user talk page. Thanks. --ysangkok (talk) 22:37, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Tech/News/Old issues - Now you can find here not only on user pages. Rodrigo (talk) 22:11, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Rodrigo. Thanks for the idea. We do already have a very similar page at Tech/News/Archives. Do you think we could merge (or redirect) your new pages into that page, or is there some other way to avoid duplicate structures? Thanks. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 22:27, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
I looked for the archive but haven't found before. I am not sure if the yearly collection has sense when the Search function works properly in the other one. But do what you whant, I am actually cleaning up the longest user talk page ever User talk:Chitetskoy what filled up with these tech news over the years. Rodrigo (talk) 22:35, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
The question: How to find this Archive from the main page? If no link, can we add? Rodrigo (talk) 22:38, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
It's currently the 2nd link within the section "Read or advertise Tech News". If that's not clear enough, I guess we potentially could add another link to it, into the list of 5 styled-links near the top? Or maybe the existing link is sufficient, now that you see it! :) Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 22:55, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
