Translations of Board meetings

There seems to be a problem with the section titles for translations of this page. --Ameisenigel (talk) 11:30, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

@Ameisenigel: Thank you for letting us know! This has now been fixed. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 19:45, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Request for translation administrator rights

Hi, I have been cleaning up some vandalism in my capacity as a global sysop. Since I am not a translation admin here, I am not able to delete translated pages (like Agenda:2016-04-22/bm, not a translation). Therefore I request translation administrator rights according to the Wikimedia:Accounts policy. Thanks, --Ameisenigel (talk) 09:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Ameisenigel: Thank you for your help! I have gone ahead and setup these rights. Thank you again! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 22:20, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

LincolnBot broke Template:Decade years navbox

In Special:Diff/361758 LincolnBot changed the "cat_prefix" parameter to "cat prefix" in Template:Decade years navbox. Note "cat_suffix" was not changed. By changing the parameter, Template:DMCA category by year (which uses the "cat_prefix" parameter) no longer links to the correct categories. For example, as of 27 March 2024 if you go to Category:DMCA 2023 you'll see that in the DMCA category by year nav box that "2022" no longer links to Category:DMCA 2022, it instead is linking to Category:2022. This is because the template Template:Decade years navbox is no longer recognizing the prefix passed in by Template:DMCA category by year. —RP88 (talk) 19:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

@RP88: This has been fixed - apologies for the error - and thank you for the alert! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 19:49, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Module:No globals

If I read the en.wikipedia TfD discussion correctly, the function of this module has replaced by strict library of Scribunto extension, and as it has no linked-in pages, do we really need a reason to keep it? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:34, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

All set - I have gone ahead and deleted that page. Thank you, @Liuxinyu970226, for the ping! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 20:02, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Add autopatrol to editor user group

I would like to propose to add the autopatrol user right to the editor user group because I think we do not need to patrol edits from approved staff accounts. @GVarnum-WMF: --Ameisenigel (talk) 11:03, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

That is a reasonable idea. Curious what @Martin Urbanec (WMF) thinks - but I think it is worth considering and doing if technically reasonable/possible. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 17:21, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

@Ameisenigel I think that makes a lot of sense! After a discussion among the Core Administrators team, I went ahead and implemented the change. Martin Urbanec (WMF) (talk) 13:26, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

That was quick! Thanks, --Ameisenigel (talk) 16:32, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you both! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 17:37, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

requested translator admin to complete the preparation work on Wikimedia:Translations_guidelines

Translated pages of Wikimedia:Translations_guidelines show several untranslated sections still in EN although stats indicate 100% as translated. Please admintrans work is required here to complete the messages. Thanks -- Christian 🇫🇷 FR (talk) 14:36, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the pointer. These issues are reduced (but not entirely solved). One template was fixed, and it's now possible to translate the transcluded content from Wikimedia:Duplicated content (but the incomplete translations won't show up in the "100% completed" main page's stats, however the section does link directly to it so hopefully that's clear enough!). Thanks again. Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 22:18, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
