Project:Requests/User rights/Pamputt 2

User: Pamputt
I'm interested in getting translation admin rights to help make the documentation pages translatable. I already have this right on Wikidata, Meta, the French Wiktionnaire and Lingua Libre (a project supported by Wikimedia France). A few years ago, I made a similar request, which was unsuccessful. I've just tagged a few new pages (see here and there for example); I hope the syntax is correct :) Pamputt (talk) 05:28, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I ask this for every Tadmin request: is there some reason you can't just let Shirayuki do the work? Right now I am not seeing one. * Pppery * it has begun 02:18, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I could let Shirayuki do the work, but the reason I asked was because I'd found some pages that weren't marked for translation and for which I'd added translation tags.
 * It seems obvious to me that it's more efficient to share this task between several people than to leave it to one person, however competent and efficient that person may be. The more people there are, the quicker the pages can be submitted for translation and the more likely they are to be translated quickly. Pamputt (talk) 14:14, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The downside to that is things like Topic:Xnd7su3ew0fba4py - it's better to have a consistent standard rather than have people each marking pages to their own standard. This could easily end up with Shirayuki re-doing your markup, rendering translations invalid, and causing extra work. I know this isn't really fair to you (hence I haven't formally opposed this request), but it is my reflection of what has happened from years of recent changes patrolling. * Pppery * it has begun 22:26, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
 * About Topic:Xnd7su3ew0fba4py, I asked Shirayuki about his way to work with the translation tags because it differs of what I have seen so far. From my understanding, the Shirayuki wikicode is different but the results is the same for the final users, i.e. the translators and the readers. Pamputt (talk) 14:40, 8 August 2023 (UTC)


 * (Honestly I disagree with Shirayuki's practice to create translation units for every single sentence) --Ameisenigel (talk) 15:14, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I do too, but multiple translation admins each doing things their own way is worse than one consistent standard being applied, and Shirayuki, as the most active tadmin, has set that standard. * Pppery * it has begun 16:08, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
