mediawiki.org/ka
May I translate MediaWiki.org into Georgian or maybe I need any permission? BRUTE 16:07, 7 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Go right ahead. Follow the instructions on Project:Main page templates if you want to translate the main page. —Emufarmers(T 23:56, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

To stub or not to stub?
Content of the translation snippet #5 (" ") anticorrelates seemingly to this info as long as one accepts the need to mark anyhow the incomplete original articles. I suppose that someone should once:
 * either disallow stubs and correct the page,
 * or allow stubs and correct the page still by adding a ref to the template for marking incomplete articles,
 * or explain why incomplete articles, if any, should not bear a corresponding mark, probably expanding the article again. --Olion17 (talk)

Localizing transcluded Special:ApiHelp, is it necessary?
We can use  to transclude generated API help! The generated API help from  is localized! Try it at Extension:TextExtracts

I originally thought each translation of a wiki page using this (e.g. Extension:TextExtracts/es) would have to pass a  parameter to Api help telling it what language to use. This doesn't work so I filed T89768. Later I realized if the user has logged in and has set Special:Preferences > Language, then the transcluded API help appears in the user's language without any localization work.

Do we know how many developers visit mediawiki.org anonymously or don't set their language preference, and view translated pages? They'll see the transcluded API help in English unless we fix this bug. Please comment on the bug, it could save a lot of work.

Thanks for any insight. -- SPage (WMF) (talk) 04:08, 4 March 2015 (UTC), WMF Tech Writer
