Update the translation
Hi Minorax,
Can you help me to update this template translation. Thank you! Biyanto R (talk) 16:27, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Done. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 16:37, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you again!--Biyanto R (talk) 16:39, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I'm looking to add some more language userboxes for the purpose of Babel, but the deletion log on this page makes me wonder whether I should or not. Also because it was quite recent. Was this an old form of userbox and was deleted in place for Babel? JustThatNerdyNerd (talk) 21:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. It contains the same content as
{{#babel:ja-1}}
. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 03:49, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
DateT
Hi. Thank you for your work converting dates to DateT. I have noticed a mistake in that though, Special:Diff/18869207/26451432 — here you convert July 15th into January 1st for midpoint date. Perhaps you could use some kind of script so that such manual mistakes would not be possible (I am thinking something semiautomatic, that will convert stuff when you select it)? I can well imagine this being quite a tiresome task to be doing manually. --Base (talk) 04:30, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ah. Thanks for catching that. For the script, I don't think it is worthwhile to make one as I'm only doing the conversion as and when I see it. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 04:34, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
