Welcome to Meta!Edit
Hello, Haoreima. Welcome to the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki! This website is for coordinating and discussing all Wikimedia projects. You may find it useful to read our policy page. If you are interested in doing translations, visit Meta:Babylon. You can also leave a note on Meta:Babel or Wikimedia Forum if you need help with something (please read the instructions at the top of the page before posting there). Also worthwhile acquainting yourself with the functions of global user pages. Happy editing!

- Thank you very much for the translation, Haoreima! I see that you speak an overwhelming amount of languages - would you maybe be open to consider to help us out with some of them? It is about this: when the elections start on Monday, we want to show a Central Notice banner globally. And of course we would like to show it in as many languages as possible. It is only one sentence and if you would like to support the goal to call many people to vote in their own language, maybe you would like to create some translations in the many languages you speak? That would be very fond of you and it is really a quick thing to do. Thank you very much anyway and have a great weekend! Here is the link: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=Centralnotice-tgroup-mc_dc_election&task=view&filter=%21translated&action=translate DBarthel (WMF) (talk) 19:41, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- DBarthel (WMF) Thanks for informing. I have translated into 2 languages I know. But I can't do that for "lang-omp"! omp stands for simple:Old Manipuri language. Could you please fix the problem? Haoreima (talk) 19:50, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oh. I did a quick check, I do not know for sure why this is. I assume this might be connected to the fact, that Old Manipuri has yet not a Wikiproject of it's own? But as this is, there would not be an opportunity to show it in a matching wikiproject ... Thank you very much for those two anyway. Would it be to much to ask for a Hindi-translation too? DBarthel (WMF) (talk) 19:58, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- DBarthel (WMF) Sure, I did that for Hindi too. Well, I found "grc" (ancient Greek) eligible for translation. Ancient Greek is also in the incubator just like Old Manipuri incubator (omp incubator). If Ancient Greek has the ability, then there might be a way for Old Manipuri too. Notably, modern Manipuri wikipedia is currently there (mni.wikipedia). Please do something if possible!

- Hi Haoreima, I wanted to thank you for your ongoing translations to modern Manipuri language. One suggestion, neither of the mni projects are listed at Distribution list/Global message delivery, so currently this grants announcement wasn't delivered to either project. The below announcement I decided to deliver to the community portal, since we are glad for your translation work and wanted to send that message in the mni language. Of course, perhaps your project has chosen not to opt-in to global message deliveries in this way, which is fine also. Xeno (WMF) (talk) 01:06, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Xeno (WMF): Dear Sir! Thank you so much for your help to deliver the message personally in the community portal of mni wiki. Well, in fact, I wasn't aware of the lack of these 2 mni projects in the list you mentioned until you tell me. Actually, I want to add the 2 projects in the list Distribution list/Global message delivery. If that page is reserved only for admins to edit, please add the mni.wikipedia and the mni.wiktionary!

And I can't do that connection as I am not admin in any wiki project. Haoreima (talk) 02:25, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- Wonderful. I've started a separate list for mni so that all messages from Meta that is translated into the language can directly be sent using MassMessage. I see Xeno has delivered to mni.wikipedia, so I'll deliver it to mni.wiktionary. Regarding the Wikidata link: try ask here. RamzyM (WMF) (talk) 02:43, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- @RamzyM (WMF): Wow! Today, I found something new from you! I never knew that separate listings can be done. Well, thank you so much for concerning on the development of mni wiki projects! :) Haoreima (talk) 02:52, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Mentors can still change these values using the filters on their dashboard. Also, the last choice of filters will now be saved. [14][15]
- The user group

Future changes
- Working with templates will become easier. Several improvements are planned for March 9 on most wikis and on March 16 on English Wikipedia. The improvements include: Bracket matching, syntax highlighting colors, finding and inserting templates, and related visual editor features.
- If you are a template developer or an interface administrator, and you are intentionally overriding or using the default CSS styles of user feedback boxes (the classes:
successbox, messagebox, errorbox, warningbox), please note that these classes and associated CSS will soon be removed from MediaWiki core. This is to prevent problems when the same class-names are also used on a wiki. Please let us know by commenting at phab:T300314 if you think you might be affected.

Bhai jan kese hain Ap? kia mein Ap se personally contact kar sakta hon?--Mohammad Murtaza Zaidi (talk) 00:14, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Mohammad Murtaza Zaidi Of course, you can contact me. I have email connecting through Wikimedia. I have a quora account too. If you have a Quora account, please tell me the username, I will message you there. I have a Facebook account too. I seldom use FB. But if you want to talk there, please give me a link of your user account. Actually, I prefer Quora to FB. Please choose either of them and tell me! Regards! --Haoreima (talk) 05:33, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
I have only Whatsapp and FB at the moment. But I preferred Whatsapp, agree? [1]--Mohammad Murtaza Zaidi (talk) 06:00, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

- Mohammad Murtaza Zaidi Unfortunately, whenever I tried to call, it's said that the number is invalid. Or, maybe the 12 digit numbers are invalid particularly in our area, though not for all over India, though I am not sure. If possible, please give me another whatsApp number (I prefer 10 digit number) for the talk. On the other hand, if you are using Facebook, then I think there might be absolutely atleast one email account that is associated with the fb account, please use that to connect Wikimedia foundation. Then, you can email me at anytime through https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser. Btw, if the matter is not too private, you are free to ask me anything in public. Please don't hesitate to tell me or ask me anything in the on-wiki platform, if the matter doesn't affect anyone's privacy. --Haoreima (talk) 12:19, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Okay I'll connect you through Wikimedia email Thanks
