Hi, I happen to be the founder of Deoband Community Wikimedia, a recognized user group affiliate of Wikimedia. A variety of stuff is updated on timely basis and it needs to be marked for translation on time, and it often, isn't. Pols12 has been very much helpful but they are not available all the time, and I feel I should do the job myself. According to Pols12, I am good at markup. I'm also a translation admin on Wikidata, but the work there isn't much as compared to here. If I'm made a translation admin, it can save a lot of time of other admins. I hope this request is considered. Best, --─ The Aafī (talk) 16:16, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- I've been through mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation administration and mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Page translation example and I'm reading them again for more clarity. ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:18, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- Do you have an idea of what should be improved at d:Wikidata:MOOC/Course outline/Les infoboîtes (marked for translation by you)? --Ameisenigel (talk) 20:14, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Ameisenigel: tvar tagging on links is what I'm getting on my mind. If this were on Meta, I'd use Template:lwp to localize the links but we don't have lwp on Wikidata. Please let me know if I need to learn something new. It is been too much late here and I'll have a look at it again in the morning. Thanks, ─ The Aafī (talk) 21:43, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- The translation units T:9, T:14, T:19, T:27, T:32 and T:36 are quite useless, as you do not need to translate the template clr. Could you exclude these things from translation? --Ameisenigel (talk) 03:06, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Ameisenigel I've excluded template clr from the translation. Do you want me to do anything else? I feel glad in learning from you. ─ The Aafī (talk) 04:54, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- OK, looks better. Besides that I have noticed that at d:Wikidata:MOOC/Course outline/Communauté and d:Wikidata:MOOC/Course outline/Évaluer la qualité des données you have really big translation units for the tables including syntax for the tables. It is recommended to use translate tags for every field of a table that should be translated instead of having the complete table in one translation unit. --Ameisenigel (talk) 09:23, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Dear Ameisenigel, I take the lesson. I have fixed both of these. Thank you very much! ─ The Aafī (talk) 10:33, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
- Great, so I am happy to

- TheAafi is attentive to notes we can make and understands how to improve issuing markup. No opposition as for me. --Pols12 (talk) 21:24, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
Done. --Sotiale (talk) 03:40, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
