Topic on Talk:Content translation

Hi, My student @Yuna Lpg is trying to translate Proserpine (play) from English to French but it has been reserved by another user in 2016. The user does not seem to have done any edits since 2016 and the article has not been purged. Can we force the purge??

I know a workaround is to copy the source article into Edit Source of a user subpage on the target Wikipedia but this is a rather clunky workaround and means the student has to do extra work to change the English Wiki links to Fremch Wikipedia links when the CX tool would normally help with this. Looking at other purge problems mentioned in this chat, this seems to be a known issue. Is there a ticket raised in phabricator??

Hi!

If last translation edition was in 2016- article translation must be 'released"/ Are You tray write to this user?

Best regards

Hi @Всевидяче Око, yes. Left a message here https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_utilisateur:Sunsup#Proserpine_%28play%29 but the user does not appear to have been active since 2016. what to do if the user is no longer active??

Hi, Stinglehammer!

This problem is typically - but I meet first situation when last translation edit was more than 3 years and translation article not disengaged(

I could not find such a ticket on Phabricator. It's worth it, if you can, post it there.

Best regards

@Всевидяче Око, Raised a task in Phabricator but it is now closed as the 2016 editor published the page in 2016 and it was then deleted. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proserpine_(joue) so it is not applicable for purging.

However, this still means that the page still cannot be used in the CX tool. Which still creates problems for anyone wanting to translate the article using the CX tool.

How do we fix this situation? @Pginer-WMF I know we can copy the source text into the student's subpage on the target wikipedia but this workaround does not address the underlying issue.

@Enrevseluj, can you help reinstate this page so that my student can translate the article into this namespace please?

Hello, I don't understand because this page is not protected to creation

Hi, @Stinglehammer!

Yuna Lpg was reg's in wiki 3 November 2021 - maybe local politics filters work for novices or samthings near this. In this way ask Fr.Wiki community admins.

Best regards
