Dear
Koavf
I'm sad that in 7 years no one has welcomed you to this wiki or posted a kind word on your talk page. Happily and humbly, I am proud to be the first. :) It's a privilege to acknowledge your 1.5+ million contributions to free knowledge. And it's a privilege to work with you here on Outreach wiki. Thank you, Koavf, for everything you do for the movement, for this project, and for our Outreach community.
Very sincerely yours,

Marking for translation

Hi, I looked everywhere, IRC included, but no one seems to know the answer. I would like to mark
Education/Ideal workshop/pl
for translation, but apparently the system automagically interprets all pages marked for translation as English, regardless of the actual language they are written in. Do you know if there is a chance to mark the language the page is in? Partial translation is already available at
Education/Ideal workshop
, but it would be easier to mark the Polish language page as the main blueprint, and copy the English paragraphs one by one. That way I would also have a reminder what parts of the translation are still missing.

I think the problem is that you are trying to translate
from
a subpage up higher in the hierarchy. Have you checked
mw:Extension:Translate
? It also has help pages and an IRC chat. If that's not helpful, please let me know and I will do some more digging myself.

Yeah, I tried
the documentation
(though it's really lengthy and I might have missed the solution there), I asked at IRC channels of mediawiki and at #mediawiki-i18n, to no avail. Also, moving the page one notch up the hierarchy doesn't do the trick either:
Education/Warsztat idealny
. Any help would be appreciated. Unless of course the developers did not think of such situation, which is also entirely possible...

Hmmm,
it seems there is no way to solve this
. Filed it as a bug (
T145039

It seems the matter is somehow easy to fix, but we'd need
additional code enabled for that
, and there's no ETA as far as I can tell. Anyway, the fix consists of a way to select the default page language on a page by page basis. I'll keep you updated.

Hi Koavf, I am hoping that you can take a look at
Template:NavWiki/Navbar
for me. The navbar has the appearance that I want on the template page, but when I view pages which are linked from the navbar and have the navbar on them, such as
NavWiki/Additional Materials
and
NavWiki/Archives
, the padding or margin effects for the selected page cause icons or text to move in the navbar. Do you know what might be causing this effect? I would like to cancel the effect. Thanks,

Wow. Well, a few things are happening here: one is that you have a table with a lot of
div
s in it: these are elements that are liable to create a new block that will have some formatting or wrapping issues that (e.g.)
span
doesn't. I tried just swapping one for the other and that didn't do the trick. Still tinkering there. Another is that you have a lot of
font
, which is a deprecated tag that should really be replaced with CSS in
span
s. Let me tool around a little bit more so I can get the behavior that you're looking to have. (Somehow, it seems just fine on
NavWiki/Additional Materials
at the moment but has some wonky alignment on
NavWiki/Archives
and I have no clue how that is even possible.)

Hm. So it looks like (see below) that when you have a link, there is only one
p
but in the examples where the page is already chosen, there are two
p
s. I'm not sure how to fix this: if you have two paragraphs, it's going to have some kind of effect on the page...

Snippet from
NavWiki/Newsletters
I'm wondering if I've hit a bug in MediaWiki. Have a look at these diffs. The top padding shouldn't be having such a significant effect on the placement of the icon.
First, I removed the navbar to make sure that the problem isn't attributable to the navbar.
Then I changed the top padding to be 0px for the icon.
Then I changed the top padding to be 1px for the icon.
Then I gave up and re-added the navbar.
What do you think?

Deceased wikimedians

Hi Koavf,
Should the wmf have a coordinated approach about obituaries for users who contributed to the movement? I have been
trying unsuccessfully
to raise this issue before. With
COVID
claiming so many lives I have moved this up my priority list.
I am writing to yu because earlier today I was following some inks from your userpage and found the page of
User:Cindamuse
. I know that this user, whom I have had a brief communication with in my early days on enwiki, had passed away (I found this out years after she died). I also know that enwiki has a page for deceased wikipedians (
w:Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians
)) which I just checked and was shocked to see how many of the usernames on that page I recognize.
(BTW doesn't the existence of the page above contravene the
w:Wikipedia:NOTSOCIALNETWORK
?)
It occurred to me that due to the COVID situation the wikimedia movement should have a policy that spans all wmf-wikis, all topics and all languages, so that pages such as
w:Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians
is also available to other wikimedians who may not be active on enwiki.
Before I spend too much time and effort developing this thought on this wiki which may/may not be
destined to the dustbin
(looks like my contributions to this discussion of a coupe of day ago have already gone to the dusbin?)

I am active and I don't think it's taboo or otherwise inappropriate to ask the question. I
do
think that it's better asked at
m:
, since that is a meta-question. I'm in favor of some kind of unified policy for locking accounts or having a standardized banner for user account pages because that would aid in collaboration (as does the page on deceased Wikipedians), but I'm not sure that a common policy on writing obituaries is really needed.

How we will see unregistered users
edit
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin
will still be able to access the IP
. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on
better tools
to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can
read more on Meta
. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can
to
the weekly technical newsletter
We have
two suggested ways
this identity could work.
We would appreciate your feedback
on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can
let us know on the talk page
. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you.
