User:Amire80/Requests for template support
On this page, I try to document the instances in which people asked me for help with templates on wikis in their languages. All of them could be resolved by having a repository of Global templates. I am starting it on September 4, 2021. It happened dozens of times earlier, and I should have documented it, but it's better late than never. Even after I started documenting, there are many more that I didn't have time to document. So this list is just a tiny sample.
2024[edit]
- April: Request for adminship in the Tumbuka Wikipedia mentions people who had to help with templates
- March: Support request on Talk:CX about translating Infoboxes between Arabic and English.
- March: At an online Content Translation workshop for Haitian Creole speakers, infobox templates were described as "impossible to translate".
2023[edit]
- September: Request to editing a protected global module in Tajik and Lezgi Wikipedias. (The module was copied from the Russian Wikipedia, and should have the same functionality in all the languages.)
- June: Betawi Incubator, "a lot of missing templates" (asked on translatewiki).
- May: Kanuri Incubator, databox.
- May: Wollayta Incubator, Infobox settlement.
- April: Swazi Wikipedia, infoboxes.
- March: Kinyarwanda Wikipedia: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red#Improvement of kinyarwanda wikipedia.
- February: Multiple questions about templates in the Punjabi Wikipedia.

2021[edit]
- September 10: Nyanja (Chewa) Wikipedia, Infobox issues in general.
- September 4: Lingala Wikipedia, Infobox settlement. The template was imported from the English Wikipedia in 2015. In 2021, someone tried updating the underlying Module:Infobox, but without updating the dependencies in the templates.
