@Johan (WMF): please mark the current version for translation. I hope my warning didn't come too late. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 12:46, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- Alexis Jazz: It's been reverted due to the issue you brought up, so I'll remove the entire item until we know what will happen and when and so on. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 15:23, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- That also works. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 01:14, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
Changes not marked for translation edit
User:Johan (WMF), could you please fix it? The Problems section was not marked for translation. Le Loy 23:47, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Le Loy: Sorry about the late reply. Marked it for translation, will wait a bit with delivery to give people a chance to translate. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 14:57, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- And my apologies to all translators who were all done and yet have to see this in English. This is about an extension that is currently not working, so waiting a week will leave people without access to this information; I wish it had been added in time on Friday. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 19:57, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Johan (WMF): User:GZWDer added it on friday 3 July, but it wasn't marked for translation until some hours ago. Oh well, spilt milk..
- How about making a template with Alexis Jazz, Reise Reise, Pols12, Sakretsu, Tacsipacsi, Wargo, Eduaddad, Stryn, Matěj Suchánek, Ле Лой, Acamicamacaraca, Ата, Stryn, IKhitron, Haytham abulela, Patsagorn Y., Xiplus, Omotecho, 밝은소년 so you can easily notify translators of last-minute changes? (can you even ping that many people at once?) — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 20:48, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, to save my sanity, I sometimes don't keep track of work over the weekend, but remain my normal, volunteer editor self for a couple of days.
- Many regular translators are reached by translators-l, so in addition to writing here, I also pinged the mailing list as soon as I had marked it for translation. But not everyone, of course. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 21:13, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- If I'm not mistaken, the max number of mentions in a single edit is fifty. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 21:15, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Johan (WMF): In that case I suggest you add {{subst:techping}} next time you write here about last-minute changes. I understand the sanity bit, it was just some unfortunate timing. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 15:29, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
