Just a note
Hi Jackmcbarn. Thanks for your help in getting rid of nonsense pages on this wiki. Much appreciated. :) Trijnstel (talk) 12:43, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

User→User talk fix
That's the second time I've done that recently despite the fact that I've been editing various wikis for years. I think I'm losing it. Thanks for the spot and the fix! – RobinHood70 talk 07:06, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

If you take a look at this discussion at Talk:Flow you will see that this page is indeed part of a sandbox experiment. I'm not just creating nonsensically named pages for fun -- the Flow software is creating these pages. By all means delete and protect it if you see fit, but it is part of the evidence I am putting reporting for a possible bug. Deltahedron (talk) 06:44, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Identity theft
Hi Jack,

seems like the content you were referring to has been deleted, but thank you for noticing :)

Ahh I see now, if you view the revision history you'll see that the user has copied and pasted my user page, not with bad intent, but rather to copy the layout, rather than my info, you just stumbled upon it before he was able add his own info.

Translation of the sidebar items
In Project:Current_issues I only request to translate the home MediaWiki sidebar, you said that you were to translatewiki.net... but where? -> not exists a specific location for it in Translating:MediaWiki in translatewiki.net!. Then I've noticed that nobody translates these elements of MediaWiki (only exists a Russian translation). This is a shame!!.

If you have no solution that I can go?. Thanks.

 * You want to change the sidebar on this wiki specifically? We don't currently have a good way set up to do that, so just post somewhere what you want it to be, and I'll add it to the interface page for you. Jackmcbarn (talk) 04:33, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Not for me, for all Catalan users! (ca):
 * Get MediaWiki -> Descàrrega de MediaWiki
 * Get extensions -> "Obtenir extensions" (Note: literal translation) -> "Extensions per a MediaWiki" or "Extensions" (Note: The best translation according to content)
 * Tech blog -> Blog de tecnologia
 * Contribute -> Com contribuir
 * Support -> Assistència
 * Technical manual -> Manual tècnic
 * Support desk -> Taula d'assistència
 * Communication -> Comunicació
 * Development -> Desenvolupament
 * Bug tracker -> Seguiment d'errors
 * Browse repository -> Repositori (Note: "Browse" isn't necessary to translate)
 * Code docs -> Documentació del codi
 * Bugs with patch -> Errors registrats
 * Statistics -> Estadístiques
 * Wikimedia engineering -> Enginyeria de Wikimedia
 * MediaWiki.org
 * Browse categories -> Buscar per categories
 * Current issues -> Temes actuals
 * Sandbox -> Proves de l'usuari

Also, in main page, after "For general questions about MediaWiki see the communication page or ask at the support desk.", the item " Help and support" isn't translated -> "Ajuda i assistència" or (only) "Ajuda".

For Spanish language (es)
 * Get MediaWiki -> Descarga de MediaWiki
 * Get extensions -> "Obtener extensiones" (Note: literal translation) -> "Extensiones para MediaWiki" or "Extensiones" (Note: The best translation according to content)
 * Tech blog -> Blog de tecnología
 * Contribute -> Cómo contribuir
 * Support -> Asistencia
 * Technical manual -> Manual técnico
 * Support desk -> Mesa de asistencia
 * Communication -> Comunicación
 * Development -> Desarrollo
 * Bug tracker -> Seguimiento de errores
 * Browse repository -> Repositorio (Note: "Browse" isn't necessary to translate)
 * Code docs -> Documentación del código
 * Bugs with patch -> Errores registrados
 * Statistics -> Estadísticas
 * Wikimedia engineering -> Ingeniería de Wikimedia
 * MediaWiki.org
 * Browse categories -> Buscar por categorías
 * Current issues -> Temas actuales
 * Sandbox -> Pruebas del usuario

Very Thanks! --Jmarchn (talk) 18:12, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I've made most of these changes, but I have questions about some of them. For "Browse repository", why is "Browse" not necessary to translate? Also, the following messages were all already translated into Spanish, with different translations than you provided: "Get MediaWiki", "Support", "Bug tracker", "Browse categories", and "Sandbox". Are your new translations better than the existing ones? Jackmcbarn (talk) 18:57, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
