Macruzbar (talk • contribs • deleted user contributions • logs • block log • abuse log • CentralAuth • stalktoy) Bureaucrats: user rights management.

Hello, I recently started volunteering for the user group Whose Knowledge?, and I need translation administrator rights to be able to mark their pages for translation. This applies to general content pages, but also to a newsletter they are starting, as well as resources they organize that can be useful to other affiliates that work with external partners.

If you need more information, please let me know.

Question: Have you read the documentation of the extension and the instructions on how to mark pages for translation? —Alvaro Molina (✉ - ✔) 03:31, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alvaro Molina, thank you for following up on my request. Yes, I have. Macruzbar (talk) 15:19, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alvaro Molina, I am checking in on this request. Please let me know if there is anything else I need to do on my side. Thank you! Macruzbar (talk) 16:17, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am leaning to grant the request, but I'd prefer if some experienced translation administrators could review your application as well. Thanks, —Marco Aurelio 10:35, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Although the user does not have too much trajectory in Meta, I consider the reasons valid and I have no worries about this request. —Alvaro Molina (✉ - ✔) 03:07, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Whose Knowledge?/Newsletter/April 2017 is not tagged according to mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation example and mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration. Could you point out where exactly the problem(s) lie(s)? There are also some improvements not strictly mandated by the docs which can be made there you may note. --Base (talk) 01:04, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Base, thank you for your question and for pointing to those links. I reviewed the resources, but it is not clear to me how does the tagging I did on Whose Knowledge?/Newsletter/April 2017 not follow the guidance provided. Could you expand a bit more on what I could do better? One thing I noticed is that I didn't mark links for translation independently from the rest of the text in the section. But that is not wrong, is just an alternative way of doing it, as specified in mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration. Or what exactly do you mean by problem is what I'm missing here... Happy to fix markup next time we publish a newsletter. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I don't think leaving this open for more time helps anyone. I'm leaning to close this as "no consensus" given the issues Base highlighted. Opinions? (ping Barras & MF-Warburg.) —Marco Aurelio 21:56, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No consensus - as per what MA said above. -Barras talk 12:24, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
