Can this site be classified as semi-fishbowl

Latest comment: 5 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

As unregistered users cannot edit or translate anything and registered users only have ablity to edit talk pages and user pages, and translating content, also creating an account is disabled. Can this wiki be considered "semi-fishbowl"? ToadetteEdit (talk) 20:03, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

@ToadetteEdit: Can you elaborate? Considered for what purpose and where? --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 03:28, 6 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

There seems to be a problem with the section titles for translations of this page. --Ameisenigel (talk) 11:30, 11 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Request for translation administrator rights

Latest comment: 2 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi, I have been cleaning up some vandalism in my capacity as a global sysop. Since I am not a translation admin here, I am not able to delete translated pages (like Agenda:2016-04-22/bm, not a translation). Therefore I request translation administrator rights according to the Wikimedia:Accounts policy. Thanks, --Ameisenigel (talk) 09:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Ameisenigel: Thank you for your help! I have gone ahead and setup these rights. Thank you again! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 22:20, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

LincolnBot broke Template:Decade years navbox

Latest comment: 1 month ago2 comments2 people in discussion

In Special:Diff/361758 LincolnBot changed the "cat_prefix" parameter to "cat prefix" in Template:Decade years navbox. Note "cat_suffix" was not changed. By changing the parameter, Template:DMCA category by year (which uses the "cat_prefix" parameter) no longer links to the correct categories. For example, as of 27 March 2024 if you go to Category:DMCA 2023 you'll see that in the DMCA category by year nav box that "2022" no longer links to Category:DMCA 2022, it instead is linking to Category:2022. This is because the template Template:Decade years navbox is no longer recognizing the prefix passed in by Template:DMCA category by year. —RP88 (talk) 19:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@RP88: This has been fixed - apologies for the error - and thank you for the alert! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 19:49, 1 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Module:No globals

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

If I read the en.wikipedia TfD discussion correctly, the function of this module has replaced by strict library of Scribunto extension, and as it has no linked-in pages, do we really need a reason to keep it? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

-Hi,
-this wiki does not automatically redirect mobile users to the mobile domain, like Wikimedia projects actually do. For example, clicking on "Terms of Use" on Wikipedia in mobile mode goes to this wiki in desktop mode, wich is not very nice. Please fix.

-On page -> https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia:Scope  , what is the meaning of 3 in the Maintenance infobox since there are no element in the list page ? May be title to improve.

-:@[[User:Wladek92|Wladek92]]: I am not sure what you mean. I see two pages in [[:Category:Edit requests|that category]] (aka the queue) - one (the template) is excluded from the count, and one is one hold (but still in the queue). That matches the (1) that I now see in that navbox. --[[User:GVarnum-WMF|Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him]]] ([[User talk:GVarnum-WMF|talk]]) 20:42, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

-[[Policy:Terms of Use]] offers an untranslated [[Policy:Terms of Use/es-formal|español (formal)]] version. This is unneeded and useless. It seems to have appeared from the [https://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Policy:Terms_of_Use/es-formal&oldid=271918 creation] of [[Policy:Terms of Use/es-formal]] in what seems a mistake edit by a newbie.

-TranslatablePage::getTranslationPages() [https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Translate/blob/master/src/PageTranslation/TranslatablePage.php#L339-L363 figures out] the list of languages from the subpages that exist.
-(thanks @[[User:BDavis(WMF)|bd808]] for the link)
+== LincolnBot broke [[Template:Decade years navbox]] ==
-There's also a second translation ([[Policy:Terms of Use/sh-cyrl]]) listed as "0% translated" as well, which should probably be equally deleted. Seems created by a spammer, which was reverted by [[User:Tropicalkitty|Tropicalkitty]], but the page kept on, edited by [[User:FuzzyBot|FuzzyBot]] and other non-translated edits.
