Project:Requests/User rights/CFCF

User:CFCF[edit]

Requested user-rights: Transwiki importer.
Requested user-rights: Translation administrator.

I'm an editor on Wikiproject Medicine's: Translation Taskforce, and have received an IEG for Medicine Translation Project Community Organizing to help the project grow and to ensure articles that have been translated are integrated properly to their target Wikis. This has to be done in a way where we don't just translate and article and leave it to someone else to fix the mess once (or even if) they find it.
To ensure that the content on smaller Wikis shows the proper references a number of Templates and Modules need to be imported. Additionally we are using infoboxes which display links and information, and importing these is also a goal. Also we are lacking en:MediaWiki:Common.css at for example rw:MediaWiki:Common.css, which results in broken infoboxes. We are looking for a fix for an infobox which does not rely on CSS, unless these could also be imported with Transwiki importer rights.
In the end we are talking about maybe 20+ templates and 10+ modules for each Wiki. As we are translating to over 100 languages and many of these are very small and thus lack any templates/modules, manual importing requires considerable work and effort which could be placed doing other things. Additionally many of the smaller Wikis do not have active admins, and even if they can be reached it is very cumbersome to contact them all in order to import something which most Wikis use and those who do not most likely will be willing to. If I receive such user rights I will also be willing to take on this role once the IEG has run its course so that the translation project can come to full fruition.

What does this have to do with mediawiki.org? I think you are in the wrong place. --Krenair (talkcontribs) 17:17, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The issue seems to be that I'm being sent back and forth in trying to find the proper places to ask for permission. I'm trying to track how I got here, and honestly I can't really say. I'm sorry for wasting your time, I will have to make the requests on the Wikis one by one. CFCF (talk) 22:03, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
meta:Steward requests/Global permissions is what I was after. Feel free to delete this entry. CFCF (talk) 22:05, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
