Recently, you undid my revision to {{main}} to make it use {{ll}} instead to automatically localize link names, with the summary "It does not localize". I am confused. As you can see on {{localized link/ja}}, the pagenames are automatically changed into their Japanese translations. The changes also hadn't been propagated to the translated versions yet.

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

Passing a second parameter to {{ll}} overrides the automatic localization of link names, so they are not automatically localized. Using that template compromises readability.

Aaron Liu (talkcontribs)

But if the corresponding parameters are empty, as {{main}} is often used, the second parameter would not be passed. By readability, if you mean that of the template code, that can easily be fixed by enabling syntax highlighting.

Aaron Liu (talkcontribs)

I'll go ahead with restoring the edit in a day.

Hi Shirayuki, Thank You for your edit. Can I ask you, if it is generally possible, instead of 1, 2, 3, 4 to use something like 5, 10, 15, 20. Than there is space for later passages to insert. Maybe in this case it doesn't matter, but in more complex texts it makes it a bit difficult from the perspective of an editor to insert later a passage, E.G. in this edit I was happy, that there was T:39 still free for use, but if not..T:170?. Another idea could be, starting for each chapter with a new 10. eg. 1, 2, 3, - 10, 11, 12, - 20, 21, 22,.. or with more space inbetween: 2, 4, 6, - 10, 12, 14, 16, - 20, 22, 24, 26, ... That will keep enouph flexibility for future changings. Is this a usefull idea? Regards

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

Do NOT manually add translation unit markers (T:NN). They are automatically added by the system, not by translation administrators.

For example, even if T:39 appears to be free, it may have been previously used for an entirely different English sentence, or translations may exist for it, causing confusion.

See .

Someone has assigned the translation unit T:39 for "Description" to the unrelated "Maps is a single data structure..." text!

As a result, incorrect translations for "Description" exist in languages other than English, causing inconvenience to readers and translators in other languages!!

W like wiki (talkcontribs)

hmm, ok. So using T:39 was wrong, I had to use T:172 ?

By the way: Did we accidentally edit the same time or do you not like the Capital Letters? They were intended as a navigational aid. Regards

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

I just didn't want the braces to be included in the link, similar to {{Mbox templates}}.

Feel free to add the capital letters if needed.

W like wiki (talkcontribs)

ok, done. funny by the way, "layout!" - "style!" :-D Best Regards By the way, 2009/10 I was living for one year in Osaka, was nice! My beginning was the total solar eclipse in 2009 Amami Oshima. Where are you from or living?

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)
Warning Warning: NEVER add translation unit markers (T:NN) manually!

See .

Instead of the correct English text "Maps is a single data structure...", "説明" (the Japanese translation of "Description") has been mistakenly inserted.

hmm, ok. Sry for the chaos!!

New Page to be Marked for Translation

Joris Darlington Quarshie (talkcontribs)

Hello Shirayuki please can you mark this header for translation Wikimedia Tech Safari Program/Header. Also the final gif banner uploaded is currently on reflecting on the overview page and the header page but the other sub pages currently have the old gif banner. If that can be fixed for me i will be greatful.

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

I was wondering about the margin of this image, but it turns out to be an animated GIF. In my environment, the animation doesn't play, and only the outline of the African continent is displayed.

Joris Darlington Quarshie (talkcontribs)

From my end it works perfectly, tried viewing it on commons and it also works perfectly. The African image is static and the other content is animated.

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)
Joris Darlington Quarshie (talkcontribs)

Oh okay i can now see it via this URL. I don't know how this can be fixed.

Hello @Shirayuki please can the pages be marked for translation again

Right now the only changes i will do is for the schedule, discussion, organizers and team. So the overview can be marked for the overview and participate can be marked for translation.

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

Pages that need to be marked for translation are listed on Special:PageTranslation, and in most cases, they are marked by one of the translation administrators within 24 hours.

So, there's no need to notify each time.

Joris Darlington Quarshie (talkcontribs)

Oh okay well noted with lots of thanks

Manual:Wiki family - installing a wiki farm

What does "you can use "listen" on the multiple server names. " mean exactly?

QUOTE: Enable your web server to share your MediaWiki install with all wikis.

For multiple (sub)domains, you can use "listen" on the multiple server names.

For multiple subdirectories, you could use: rewrite rules, aliases, or symlinks.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family#Wiki_Farm Thanks in advance.

Bawolff hi again bawoff thanks for response.
It sounds like they are talking about virtual hosts (some web servers use a config directive named listen for that), but i agree its terribly phrased.
no idea; listen may refer to TCP listen.
  1. LISTEN server TCP/IP call :::This LISTEN call tells the TCP⁄IP address space that the server is ready to begin accepting connections.
Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

Is the statement trying to convey the following idea?


By specifying the correct IP address for each (sub)domain on the DNS server, each domain will point to the same web server.

Is there a handout to understand this stuff?

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)
WikiForMen (talkcontribs)

OK, in that diff I can not see any fragmented or "patchwork" messages and also is not related to the <translate> stuff.

One thing I don't understand is when a <translate> tag is set and when it is skipped.

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)
  • When you use empty lines within the ‎<translate>...</translate> tags, it is split into different translation units at those positions.
<translate>
== heading1 ==

sentence1.

== heading2 ==

sentence2.
</translate>
  • If you want each sentence to be a separate translation unit, you cannot omit the ‎<translate> tags.
<translate>
== heading ==
</translate>
<translate>sentence1.</translate>
<translate>sentence2.</translate>
WikiForMen (talkcontribs)

"If you want each sentence to be a separate translation unit, you cannot omit the ‎‎<translate>...</translate> tags."

This is my point. In many part there are no ‎<translate>...</translate> tags, but only <!-- T:xy--> tags. But you told me

Do not add unwanted html comments like <!---->.

so I get confused. :-(

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

Below, there is my reply beginning with "Additional explanation," but does it answer your question?

WikiForMen (talkcontribs)

So far, it has turned out that every time I thought I had understood it, I was wrong again.

The whole thing is far too complicated, error-prone and contains too many "extra tricks", especially when it comes to the links to be translated.

I guess I'll keep making mistakes. But your explanations have brought some clarity. Thank you!

For today at least, the goal has been achieved and the documentation for an - in my opinion important - extension has been successfully made translatable. Also thanks to a lot of help from your side. :-)

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

Additional explanation seems necessary to answer your question in Special:Diff/6296870.

In translation pages, untranslated or fuzzy translation units are enclosed with either <div> or a <span>.

If there is no newline character immediately before the translation unit marker (<!--T:XX-->), it is considered inline and enclosed in a <span>; otherwise, it is enclosed in a <div>.

In my edit, inline style was used to display the version numbers on the same line as the preceding text.

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)
  1. When the original text is cut off mid-sentence, as in The extension was tested with MediaWiki, it is unclear that version numbers follow. This leads to difficulties in accurately translating it into many languages.
  2. Punctuation marks should also be translatable.
WikiForMen (talkcontribs)

The idea is not to touch the existing translations if only the version numbers are updated.

Reply to "wrong markup"
WikiForMen (talkcontribs)

You reverted my edits but it does not work as you want it. :-(

Please klick on "Deutsch" to see:

  1. "Advertising blocks" appears as "Werbung-Blöcke", but I have to translate it into "Werbe-Blöcke"
  2. "If Sitenotice is defined" appears as a red link. Tip-text is "Ll (page does not exist)".
Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

Regarding "If Sitenotice is defined," use {{}} as in the original text, not [[]].

WikiForMen (talkcontribs)

This is really hard stuff. Too much for me. Thank a lot for your help.

WikiForMen (talkcontribs)

Looks good now! :-))

Hello Shirayuki, Do you know how to activate or add a notice for mediawiki like in the photo? :

Reply to "Notice"
Aaron Liu (talkcontribs)

Well, it seems like you’ve reverted my edits. I have two questions:

  1. What does “wrong markup” mean?
  2. I know much less about translation than you, but shouldn’t parentheses be inside translation units as some languages like Chinese use full-block parentheses?
Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

The translation unit markers are duplicated. They should not be manually added.

I removed the parentheses from the source text, so please compromise with that.

Aaron Liu (talkcontribs)

Ah, it seems I've misread the diff. That makes sense, I thought you had some kind of qualm with ConvenientDiscussions. Thanks!

So, there isn't any way to only have to translate once for the same text that's repeated over an article then? I'll try merging cells then

Could I replace the dashes with colons?

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

I've restored only the ConvenientDiscussions column.

Please refrain from replacing with colons, as there's a difference in usage—no space before a colon in English and a space before a colon in French, causing conflicts.

Aaron Liu (talkcontribs)

Well, they use an entirely different dash in Chinese. Should I replace the hyphens with en dashes then? That way it's at least consistent with most latin languages. Thanks.

Shirayuki (talkcontribs)

Feel free to replace them with en dashes.
