A feedback, surprisingly "identified as SPAM", took me here
In response to a request for feedback, on the contents translation tool, in https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tema:T2vwbskdnhgwkwek (the catalan Wikipedia) I just reported a problem (Subject "Tables translation"... or so) but, when sending it, I got a warning message saying that this had been identified as spam and suggesting that, if it wasn't, I should contact an administrator. The "user list" pages the message link took me to do recomend comming here for admin actions. My feedback provided links to original, translated and reconstructud pages, which would take me some effort to rebuild. Can someone do somethig for me: recover my contribution and take it to the proper destination? Thanks, --FranSisPac (talk) 17:24, 28 April 2016 (UTC) (also in ca:Usuari_Discussió:FranSisPac)

Non-MW related manual talk pages
On manual talk pages which are not directly related to mediawiki, the MediaWiki:Editnotice-101 message which appear while editing should be replaced with another message(s). There are many Pywikibot manual talk pages; try to edit one of them, and you will see how irrelevant are the links in that message. --XXN (talk) 09:19, 14 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Perhaps non-MediaWiki content shouldn't be in that namespace – would it be better to put pywikibot items in their own namespace? Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 00:26, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Testing search in deleted pages archive
Hello,

During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the Discovery team worked on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching the archive of deleted pages. Now we are ready to deploy this capability in production, and are asking admins of select wikis to test-drive this feature. After accommodating any feedback from this trial, we plan to deploy it on all wikis and enable it by default.

To test it on your wiki, please go to the  page, and add   to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. The results should show more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension). If you find anything that is not right with the results, or that you want to be changed, please comment.

Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to admins. CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 19:02, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Manual:Configuration settings/zh-hant
I think, it's dormanted, it's just possible to use which derived from Manual:Configuration settings/zh, I'm sorry that I can't place delete template because of "Translate in zh please." warning. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 01:46, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅ Keeping such pages doesn't cause great harm, but in this case the history didn't contain anything useful. Nemo 07:21, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Translations:Help:Login notifications/5/de (version 2697504)
I can't say you how it happend but at the beginning of the version text is an insult at the begining of the version text. Maybe it was a hacker that added it but I don't know why it is there. The version should be deleted. Note: I didn't add the insult myself."Now I know: It wasn't a hacker, it was the filter fuzzy from the URL. But why was it pasted?"
