i18n issues in Help:Extension:Translate.
[edit]In Help:Extension:Translate, there are following codes:
<translate>
=== Reference documents for developers === <!--T:35-->
</translate>
* {{ll|Help:Extension:Translate/Installation|2=<translate><!--T:40--> Installation</translate>}} <translate><!--T:75--> and</translate> {{ll|Help:Extension:Translate/Configuration|2=<translate><!--T:60--> Configuration</translate>}}; <translate><!--T:73--> [[MediaWiki Language Extension Bundle]] should be enough in most cases.</translate>
However, this adds extra unneeded whitespaces between "Installation", "and" and "Configuration", which should have NO whitespaces between them in zh-* (Mandarin Chinese variants) language(s).
Please help fixing above grammar issue in the page. 49.159.106.249 (talk) 14:39, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Greetings,
The ratification voting process for the revised enforcement guidelines of the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) came to a close. Over 2300 Wikimedians voted across different regions of our movement. Thank you to everyone who participated in this process! The scrutinizing group is now reviewing the vote for accuracy, so please allow up to two weeks for them to finish their work.
The final results from the voting process will be announced here, along with the relevant statistics and a summary of comments as soon as they are available. Please check out the voter information page to learn about the next steps. You can comment on the project talk page on Meta-wiki in any language.

Source editing no longer works properly
[edit]I am sometimes no longer able to select a specific line properly and have to use the up or down key to get to the correct spot with the cursor. This started with the new line numbering feature in the Extension namespace. Did not really find a spot where to disable the line numbering in my preferences. Probably I am not the first one to report this. Note that I am using the Monobook skin and that it does not happen consistently. Anyhow it is no longer fun to edit. [[kgh]] (talk) 07:42, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- The line numbers appear when you enable the "syntax highlight" button on the edit toolbar. Try disabling it. If you happen to consistently reproduce the issue (or even if you can't) you may want to bugreport it. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 17:17, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. Hmm, this does not help me since I would like to continue with highlighted editing. I just asked for this since it started, at least I believe so, with the introduction of line numbering. The workaround is to clear the cache after the first edit. Will report if this issue continues.

Please mark pages for translation
[edit]The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Could the following three pages be marked for translation in their current versions? One is new, and contains no translation markers as I wanted to leave it to the automatic tagging process.
Help:Extension:Kartographer/Getting started (new)
Thank you! Dan Shick (WMDE) (talk) 12:11, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, I've been helping with these pages and I can confirm that they are ready to be marked for translation. We're done with major content changes, anything else will be very minor or adjustments to the
<mapframe>examples which don't need translation. Is there any more action required from us? - Thank you for looking at this. Adamw (talk) 08:49, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Done. I had to split up the new one so that the translatable chunks were more reasonable for translators, and to exclude large non-translatable chunks of content. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 08:51, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Much appreciated, both of you! Dan Shick (WMDE) (talk) 09:18, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- I'd love to know if there's a better way to place translation tags into a new document besides manually enclosing each segment in them. On our internal wiki there's a mechanism to infuse a new doc with tags that seemed to intelligently segment text -- that's what I thought would happen here too. Dan Shick (WMDE) (talk) 09:27, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- It's "intelligent" in that it breaks on paragraphs and section headings, but sadly that's about it. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 17:25, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Jdforrester (WMF) Very helpful, thanks for getting our translation off the shoals!
- I have the same question as Dan: the docs seem to instruct us to wrap the whole doc in a translate open and close tag, perhaps the docs should be adjusted? (1), (2). Adamw (talk) 10:47, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Jdforrester (WMF) The version we asked you to mark last week was in fact missing many translate tags. In the absence of any tool to automatically add tags to unmarked segments, I've added them manually. Would you mind marking this version for translation? Dan Shick (WMDE) (talk) 12:18, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- Done! Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 14:57, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Impossible create page

Hi,
I am a member of the PlanetQuest gaming community and as a good Fan, I want to create a wiki page in French, so that all players can go and find out about the game and learn new things.
But it is impossible for me to publish. I get this message:
"We're sorry, your edit was not saved as it matched the rule: new user youtube, &c.. This usually happens because the type of edit you made is often done by vandals and spammers. If that is not the case, we apologise.
If you believe your edit was constructive, please file a request here, explaining what you were trying to do."
How can I do?
Thanks in advance

Join the Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan conversations with Maryana Iskander
[edit]The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hello,
The Movement Communications and Movement Strategy and Governance teams invite you to discuss the 2022-23 Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan, a plan of record for the Wikimedia Foundation's work.
These conversations continue Maryana Iskander's Wikimedia Foundation Chief Executive Officer listening tour.
The conversations are about these questions:
- The 2030 Wikimedia Movement Strategy sets a direction toward "knowledge as a service" and "knowledge equity". The Wikimedia Foundation wants to plan according to these two goals. How do you think the Wikimedia Foundation should apply them to our work?
- The Wikimedia Foundation continues to explore better ways of working at a regional level. We have increased our regional focus in areas like grants, new features, and community conversations. What is working well? How can we improve?
- Anyone can contribute to the Movement Strategy process. Let's collect your activities, ideas, requests, and lessons learned. How can the Wikimedia Foundation better support the volunteers and affiliates working in Movement Strategy activities?
You can find the schedule of calls on Meta-wiki.
The information will be available in multiple languages. Each call will be open to anyone to attend. Live interpretation will be available in some calls.
Best regards!

An edit request has be made for Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Template
[edit]Hello guys, I received a notification on my email : someone need a translator admin for Template:Editnotices/Namespace/Template (Template talk:Editnotices/Namespace/Template#h-Translation_of_the_whole_message-2022-04-19T18:52:00.000Z). However, this page is (cascading) protected, so a admin is needed to add missing translation tag. Thanks. (Greeting to all by the way) Tomybrz Bip Bip 11:01, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- The untranslated message is hard to make translatable, because it contains parser functions that shouldn't be translated. Using <tvar> isn't enough, because it has a nested translatable word. Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 13:59, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
