Should we move API:Main page to API:Action API

[edit]

Since Action API is not the only API of MediaWiki. GZWDer (talk) 10:13, 29 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

@GZWDer: That seems reasonable, though we of course have api.wikimedia.org as the main user-facing pages nowadays. I think this is something the MediaWiki Interfaces team owns, however, so I would want their opinion first. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 09:46, 4 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Note that this move would require a sysadmin due to the translatable page containing more than 500 bits. * Pppery * it has begun 01:09, 16 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

I support moving it. —TheDJ (Not WMF) (talkcontribs) 13:39, 2 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
Should this discussion be moved to Phabricator; both so that it can be specifically tagged for the MW Interfaces team's attention, and also given that - in any event - a maintenance script run would be needed to move this page (per Pppery)? Best, ‍—‍a smart kitten[meow] 17:01, 9 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
@A smart kitten: I don't think forking the conversation to Phab is necessary. I'll ping the team again about this. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 13:42, 10 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Declined. They're not spamming, they're appealing a no-warning no-talk block on Wikidata and there's no real other venue to do. If people are silenced everywhere for no clear reason they are prone to lash out. * Pppery * it has begun 22:22, 1 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Template:PD Help Page in Help pages

[edit]

It would be desirable that the template (or a simpler, condensed version) was part of a suitable system message so that it was automatically interted in every page in this namespace. Right now a significant number of help pages lack the template and editing them one by one to add the template is not only boring but in the case of translatable pages it gives extra work to language administrators for no real benefit. Tactica (talk) 16:31, 9 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

If it was in a system message, presumably there'd need to be some way (from an individual page) to achieve what the |imported=1 template parameter currently does (in order to signal that some of a given page's content may not be PD). Best, ‍—‍a smart kitten[meow] 16:56, 9 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

I use a wiki.gg page and can't find any option to turn off Link Previews. Personally I find them annoying. ~2025-16536-6 (talk) 01:09, 10 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

I think you're talking about Page Previews. Are you trying to turn off the view for you personally or turn them off for the wiki entirely? —Justin (koavf)TCM 01:25, 10 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Machine translations

[edit]

JorgeElias2302 is creating translations in the languages (de, es, pt-br, ca, it, sv, af) they probably don't know. They are doing the same thing on translatewiki.net. Nemoralis (talk) 10:43, 10 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Translations deleted. --Clump (talk) 12:00, 10 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
