Translation.

Hello, I have just come across your attempt in translating the Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Toolkit/Discussion_Coordinator_Role page into Japanese. However, please note that translations shall be done by clicking the respective language in the "other languages" bar on the top and then the "Translate" button on top of the bar, as the original page is suppose to be the English version of the page. As such, I have already undid your edit on the main page, which you can access them from the page's history and put them back to the Japanese version of the page.

Thank you so much!

「関連項目」のリンク先が英語しかない

@Takot: どう思われますか？ こういうケースがとても目立ちます。リンク先は翻訳指定がなく、また多くは過去の情報だから現在の情報はこちらのプロジェクトへ戻るように指示しています。輪句の後ろに（英語版）と追加すると、利用者に親切と考えるのです。一括でbot処理できるといいのですが。
Like at "See also" section and among those four daggers in this section, three of them suggest to loop back to Strategy/Wikimedia+movement/2017. There is no sense and irritating to list them on ja translation for this page, as those are not provided for translation. Thus I added to indicate those are provided in English in ja translation. Was I wrong? I have seen many cases in similar situation so far, but did not change the translated strings beyond the original English though. Could a bot add (英語版) to any "See also" section, at least on pages for Strategy/Wikimedia+movement/2017 please? I doubt there be any volunteer translator to jump on them now or someday, as there are so much to work on the current projects.

Training modules: Can you help us with translation?

Hello Omotecho, hope all is well! As you may know, we at the Wikimedia Foundation's Support and Safety team are developing new training materials to help contributors deal with online harassment situations, and with problems at real life events. The final English version is now finished!

I'm wondering if you would be willing to help us translate content for these Training Modules into your language. We are targeting a minimum of ten languages for these modules, including the English original.

If the answer is yes, please let me know with a ping, or just get stuck in on Meta - either way, we would really appreciate your support! Joe Sutherland (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 18:09, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

@JSutherland (WMF): hello, I will start on translation into Japanese, and at the moment, I am on Wikimedia Foundation elections/2017/Board of Trustees/Candidates/ja and two more blocks to go. Good luck finding more translators for other langs. (-: ----Omotecho (talk) 18:28, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Started with Training modules/Keeping events safe/slides/purpose-of-this-module/ja. The Training Modules are quite large and congrats to finish them! I will start with "Keeping events safe". Wonder if you have any page in mind to start/finish translation firstly? ----Omotecho (talk) 20:17, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Wow, thank you so much for such a quick reply! We have quite a long time to do them all – until the end of June. But there is no one in particular that would be good to translate first :) Please, work on the one that interests you the most! Joe Sutherland (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 23:48, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello again! Just wanted to say thank you for offering to help on the Training Modules translation drive. This is just a gentle reminder that any help translating, even a few lines or messages, will get us closer to the goal of having these important materials available to more language communities. We are hoping to make progress on this by the end of the month. If you have any questions, or need assistance, I’m happy to chat.

Hi, so you'd better have all translated by the end of May? Thought end of June will be fine, woops, I must go back to the handbook. I've found this one is quite helpful to have vocabulary shared among this one and the handbook. Or onsite procedures you have for now.

OK, don't worry I will be back much sooner! =) ----Omotecho (talk) 01:22, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, me again, @JSutherland (WMF): a minor request. I thought maybe you could flag Fundamentals ready for translation maybe? No problem with me as my hands are on it. Hope more people will jump in and work on translation for you if not seeing those draft notes at the top. Regards, ----Omotecho (talk) 09:24, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you. It would be great to have some done by end of May just because there is so much :) I really do appreciate your work, it is vital to get these accessible for the Japanese community :) I am not totally sure what you mean by "mark as ready", I think they already are. You may need to select "Japanese" in the top-right. Do you know anyone else who would be a good person to help with translating these? Thanks! Joe Sutherland (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 17:12, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

(Oh, also, the deadline is technically not until the end of June but I think it is good to get some done a bit sooner. Sorry if I was confusing. :) Joe Sutherland (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 17:13, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

@JSutherland (WMF): For translators. Would you contact those active on the original 2006-07 team? It look to me User:っ was on the above project, presently an active translator on Wikipedia elsewhere, I find User:Masao and User:shirayuki have reputation as excellent proofreaders elsewhere. Masao on metawiki, shirayuki on MediaWiki had checked my translation. I have not reached to none of them, though. Takot (WMF) could have some idea, too, as he has been vigorously translating as you might know, and someone has proofreading his as well (aside of myself). Good luck!

Thank you so much :) I will contact them! Joe Sutherland (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 20:13, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

For "mark as ready" staff, I was curious that for instance it does not update with ja translation while https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/training/support-and-safety/keeping-events-safe/purpose-of-this-module recently as it or other module did(?) a couple of days ago. Never mind, just a munble. (: ----Omotecho (talk) 19:48, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Ah I see what you mean. I'm not sure what the deal is there. I will look to see how is best to push the translations onto the tool. Joe Sutherland (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 20:13, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

@Omotecho: I updated the training modules page, which might have fixed some of this. What do you mean by "the comment"? Where is that? :) Joe Sutherland (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 22:04, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

JSutherland (WMF) Thank you for the fix on training module pages, but my above writing is misleading. I corrected the error here at the translation page, error was at the line [https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/training/support-and-safety/dealing-with-online-harassment-other-forms/what-counts-as-personally-identifying-information個人識別情報として処理します].

New Voices

Is New Voices from people in "lower awareness regions"?

I am confused to translate two terms; New Voices and lower awareness regions. It seems to me those two terms are pointing to the same thing while seen either from the user or admin/WMF side. New Voices とは lower awareness regions の人々の意見ではありませんか 利用者側から見たか、運営側（財団）から見たかでふたつの用語を使っていませんか?

Is New Voices from people in lower awareness regions ? While both Sources and navbox have a link to New Voices, isn't it actually from those people in lower awareness regions?

New community space for IdeaLab on Connect

Hi folks. If you're receiving this message, you've contributed to IdeaLab or an Inspire Campaign this year. Thanks for participating to develop ideas and review ones from other Wikimedians.

We are preparing some changes to IdeaLab and Inspire Campaigns. One of these changes is a new community space on Connect, where Wikimedians can find each other based on common activities or skills, and ask questions about the space. You are invited to join this community space for IdeaLab, especially if you would ever consider needing to find contributors with certain skills (like design or project management) or would like to offer your skills to others in our movement. To join, please proceed to Connect/IdeaLab and click on the "Add yourself" button on the right. Thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) 19:53, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Inspire Campaign on Measuring Community Health

Do you have an idea about how to measure the health of your community? Do you want to review ideas that others have submitted? Through August 10th, we are inviting ideas on how to capture the well-being of Wikimedia communities, in terms of matters like conflict resolution, effective content creation, and being able to contribute in a collaborative environment. Ideas can be focused on either quantitative techniques, such as gathering raw data, or qualitative techniques, like surveying contributors. If you are submitting an idea, guidance is available for how to move your idea into implementation, such as through a grant or starting a Phabricator task to engage with developers.

The Community Wishlist Survey

Hi,

You get this message because you’ve previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey. I just wanted to let you know that this year’s survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until 11 November: Community Wishlist Survey 2019.

You can vote from November 16 to November 30. To keep the number of messages at a reasonable level, I won’t send out a separate reminder to you about that. /Johan (WMF) 11:25, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Now I see the situation much clear, thank you Minorax for your time to look deeper. So there are two options? (Plan a) Replace /Navigation to Community Insights/2018/Report/Navigation; (plan b) Keep /Navigation template and do nothing. I would like to propose plan_a, which would include a request that the latter nav template tweaked for translation. I will use the page for Universal Code of Conduct discussion, locally going on at jawp VP and on meta:Universal Code of Conduct/Discussions, including its subpage /Japanese speakers, as my experience tells less alphabets shows a page, it encourages Japanese speakers to at least have a peep. However, wish my request to change an old document shall be scaled to help users, and least bother many in our international community. Or translators I care about as one myself. Cheers, --Omotecho (talk) 17:27, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

The Affiliate-selected Board seats process welcomes your support

Hello. You are receiving this message because you kindly helped with affiliates-related translations in the past. The movement needs you again! The Nominations phase has started for the ongoing selection process of two Board members, and the timeline is quite tight.

A Translation Central is available to help keen translators like you figure out what's been covered and what's left to do. Over the course of the next few weeks, your attention on candidates' profiles is particularly welcome. While there are four languages that are especially relevant for multiple affiliates (namely Arabic, French, Russian and Spanish), you can also add others. If you can't help: please see if you know anyone in your circle who could, and spread the word :)

Thank you! Elitre (WMF) and Facilitators of ASBS 2019, 13:19, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank You email to Donors

Hello!

I work on the online fundraising team at WMF and see you translated our Thank You email to donors--we are so grateful for your help! We are not always able to have community help (it depends on people's availability and such) so we often work with both a firm and a consultant to do the translations work and then ask the community to review the material. I was just about to enter our material into the translate extension here: Fundraising/Translation/Thank_you_email_2018-10-01, and saw you had done translations work. Could I trouble you to take a look at this document and make comments--or tell us why you would translate something differently? Let me know if I can help to clarify and, again, many thanks for your help with this! /TSkaff (WMF) 17:30, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for your nice mention, and I like the document much, being not too specific about addressees' age nor too casual. Then, it largely depends on whom you will send those letters to, so my translation on Thank you email is which I imagined the target as:

• a donor of above JPY5,000/mo, or frankly, maybe JPY10,000/mo;
• 40+yr-ish towards 65yrs, upper middle class native Japanese, with college education.
• donating with their credit card or scheduled transfer from their bank account (standard procedure in Japan).

I tried to be a bit less flat or businesslike, expecting the 2nd or future letters would not have too much gap if you wish to include friendliness. With the document, I blended my suggestions to match the basic feeling of it. (For example, the document excluded "I love that it’s my job to thank you..." part, which gives personality to the letter: I altered my translation into "You might not expect me to writing you, but...", a humble but old fashioned context in a Japanese Thank You letters to donors/patrons.)

In both cases, the part I rewrote is not gender specific, but polite. With my background as helping NPO outreach and developing donors program many years ago, I would chose wordings and show the donors courtesy and respect as they are important to us. Maybe we have room to consider any statistics WMF knows of their donor breakdown. My pleasure working on donation related translation, cheers, --Omotecho (talk) 10:42, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

This is very helpful Omotecho! We had our translator take a look and she thought you made several really nice improvements. I went ahead and published a version that she reviewed with many of your edits in it, but if you're available in the future, we'd love to ask your input earlier in the process, so we can all be on the same page about the project. We have a fundraising campaign in Japan happening either this summer or fall; we'll see if we're lucky enough to work with you. All best to you and thank you again for your help! /TSkaff (WMF) 03:51, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Appreciate your kind thoughts to come and reply me. By the way, if you are using Translation extension, do you have any good idea in cases like mismatching ja translation to the wording in source text ? The current Japanese is ideal itself, but on its own and could be rewritten by some grammar police prioritizing to pair with the source en. I will review those and “support”, or do you care to leaving a note on /qqq files (right pane) as context centered translation is chosen by WMF team? Never mind replying sooner. Thank you for working on weekend! *\(^o^)/* Omotecho (talk) 15:25, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Did you know?

Did you know that you can use the visual editor on a mobile device?

Every article has a pencil icon at the top. Tap on the pencil icon to start editing.

Edit Cards

This is what the new Edit Cards for editing links in the mobile visual editor look like. You can try the prototype here: 📲 Try Edit Cards.

Welcome back to the Editing newsletter.

Since the last newsletter, the team has released two new features for the mobile visual editor and has started developing three more. All of this work is part of the team's goal to make editing on mobile web simpler.

Before talking about the team's recent releases, we have a question for you:

Are you willing to try a new way to add and change links?

If you are interested, we would value your input! You can try this new link tool in the mobile visual editor on a separate wiki.

Follow these instructions and share your experience:

📲 Try Edit Cards.

Recent releases

The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the mobile site. The Editing team recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor:

1. Section editing
   • The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
   • The team studied this with an A/B test. This test showed that contributors who could use section editing were 1% more likely to publish the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
2. Loading overlay
   • The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.

Section editing and the new loading overlay are now available to everyone using the mobile visual editor.

New and active projects

This is a list of our most active projects. Watch these pages to learn about project updates and to share your input on new designs, prototypes and research findings.

• Edit cards: This is a clearer way to add and edit links, citations, images, templates, etc. in articles. You can try this feature now. Go here to see how: 📲 Try Edit Cards.
• Mobile toolbar refresh: This project will learn if contributors are more successful when the editing tools are easier to recognize.
• Mobile visual editor availability: This A/B test asks: Are newer contributors more successful if they use the mobile visual editor? We are collaborating with 20 Wikipedias to answer this question.
• Usability improvements: This project will make the mobile visual editor easier to use. The goal is to let contributors stay focused on editing and to feel more confident in the editing tools.

Looking ahead

• Wikimania: Several members of the Editing Team will be attending Wikimania in August 2019. They will lead a session about mobile editing in the Community Growth space. Talk to the team about how editing can be improved.
• Talk Pages: In the coming months, the Editing Team will begin improving talk pages and communication on the wikis.

Learning more

The VisualEditor on mobile is a good place to learn more about the projects we are working on. The team wants to talk with you about anything related to editing. If you have something to say or ask, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Invitations to translate

Hello, Omotecho,

Community Insights/Translation/2019/1-Invitation and the other pages listed at Community Insights/Translation#Requests for translations are ready to be translated. There is little more information about this group of invitations on the mailing list. Also, please keep an eye on that page: more pages will be ready for you soon!

Thank you for your interest in helping translate these messages. I really do appreciate it. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:53, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your help last week. Could you please translate Community Insights/Translation/2019/1-Invitation to program coordinators into Japanese for me? Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 19:45, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello, if you could touch up and move the ref tag before ja punctuation "、/。": it is the local format, and I guess following local format would be better appealing to coordinators (of course for any users). Cheers, --Omotecho (talk) 07:54, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

That's a very interesting detail. I remember seeing User:Doc James propose that new editors be encouraged to do the opposite in a Community Wishlist item (punctuation before ref tags is preferred at the English Wikipedia). Unfortunately, in mw:Extension:Translate, the choice is between making all of the translators manually place the links, or putting them all in the same place. It is not a very flexible tool. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 16:57, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

I wanted a flexible modular tool that allows communities to customize the rules. Yes the rule is the opposite in Japanese versus English and a tool to auto switch would be useful expecially if built into ctx.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:48, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Editing News #2 – Mobile editing and talk pages

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.

Help

What talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!

Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team wants your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.

Talk pages project

The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.

The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.

Mobile visual editor

The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Edit Cards

What happens when you click on a link. The new Edit Card is bigger and has more options for editing links.

• On 3 September, the Editing team released version 3 of Edit Cards. Anyone could use the new version in the mobile visual editor.
• There is an updated design on the Edit Card for adding and modifying links. There is also a new, combined workflow for editing a link's display text and target.
• Feedback: You can try the new Edit Cards by opening the mobile visual editor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Edit cards talk page.

Toolbar

The editing toolbar is changing in the mobile visual editor. The old system had two different toolbars. Now, all the buttons are together. Tell the team what you think about the new toolbar.

• In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar. Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
  • One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar. Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
  • New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
  • Seamless switching: an improved workflow for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
• Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Toolbar feedback talk page.

Wikimania

The Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.

Looking ahead

• Talk Pages Project: The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes. The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: Getting involved.
• Testing the mobile visual editor as the default: The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.
• Measuring the impact of Edit Cards: This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations. The Editing team hopes to share results in November. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: Edit Cards project page.

Community Wishlist Survey 2020 needs translations

Hello!

I'm contacting you because you've already translated some messages for the Community Wishlist Survey. We need more translations for the 2020 edition, to create a survey that would serve as many users as we know.

The list below shows our needs by order of importance (most important first):

1. The invitation sent to communities. It summarizes the process. We plan to distribute it soon on this year target wikis. The more translations we have, the better!
2. The form for non-English speakers. Anyone should be able to add their wish, no matter which language they speak. Translating this short form is very important to encourage diversity and equity.
3. The survey itself, where the entire process is described.
4. The preload form, that provides more context on existing wishes.

Some languages are already covered (maybe by you), but some messages have been updated, and there is always some room for reviewing and polishing messages.

Thank you in advance for your help! This survey can't be successful without your assistance. :)

This early version of the Reply tool automatically signs and indents comments.

The Editing team has been working on the talk pages project. The goal of the talk pages project is to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily. This project is the result of the Talk pages consultation 2019.

In a future update, the team plans to test a tool for easily linking to another user's name, a rich-text editing option, and other tools.

The team is building a new tool for replying to comments now. This early version can sign and indent comments automatically. Please test the new Reply tool.

• On 31 March 2020, the new reply tool was offered as a Beta Feature editors at four Wikipedias: Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian. If your community also wants early access to the new tool, contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF).
• The team is planning some upcoming changes. Please review the proposed design and share your thoughts on the talk page. The team will test features such as:
  • an easy way to mention another editor ("pinging"),
  • a rich-text visual editing option, and
  • other features identified through user testing or recommended by editors.

To hear more about Editing Team updates, please add your name to the "Get involved" section of the project page. You can also watch these pages: the main project page, Updates, Replying, and User testing.

I would like to know whether there is any display issues in the page Template:Community Insights navbar. I was able to see opening and closing tags in that template. Adithyak1997 (talk) 15:02, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Adithyak1997, Hello, appreciate your interest in the matter, and could you please try displaying in non-English languages please? I am afraid my edit to add tags is the problem here:

[[<tvar|home>Community_Insights|Home]] [[Community_Insights/Reports|Reports]] [[Community Insights/Frequently asked questions| Frequently asked questions ]]

Minorax, hello, then do you think the nav bar on /ja page will display without problem, if we wait for a while? Would you mind have a look if it show as you expect at this page? I see the nav bar in redlink, but I recall it started to show that error after my tvar edit on the navbar page. What do you find, please? --Omotecho (talk) 16:16, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I’ve fixed it. The edit summary should be enough to tell you how I fixed it. However, if you want a more detailed explanation, I can explain it to you later as I’m not free at the moment. As for how to translate those words in the template, I’m trying to figure it out and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Minorax (talk) 22:22, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello again, the reason why the nav bar wasn't showing properly is because the wikitext used was {{/Navigation}}. It will cause the software to transclude the /Navigation subpage of the respective translation page instead of Community Insights/2018 Report/Navigation. Minorax (talk) 06:53, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Template:User SWT

Hi I have marked for the translation Template:User SWT/translatable (using {{Dynamite}}) because template if directly included must not contain translate tags. Alternatively you can use {{LangSwitch}} (e.g. Template:User OTRS). Thanks --Samuele2002 (Talk!) 23:53, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Growth team newsletter #13

Welcome to the thirteenth newsletter from the Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.

Join the conversation: structured tasks

Sketch of an idea for a structured workflow for adding links to an article. The goal is to help newcomers edit at high volume.

We are looking for community input on a new project to make it easy for newcomers to make real article edits.

In our previous newsletter, we talked about the productive edits coming from the newcomer tasks feature. Those good results have continued: about 900 newcomers made over 5,000 suggested edits so far. We've learned that newcomers are interested in receiving suggested edits.

Now, we are thinking about how to supply them a feed of easy edits that will help more of them be successful quickly. We have a new idea called "structured tasks". This would aim to break down edits into steps that are easy for newcomers and easy on mobile devices.

In the past, certain kinds of editing tasks have been structured. For instance, adding categories through HotCat. Now, we are thinking about how to structure the editing of articles. The goal is to allow newcomers can make large content additions, especially from their mobile devices.

Please visit the project page and respond to the discussion questions listed on the talk page. You are welcome to show this project to others in your community. You can help by translating the materials to your language so that more voices can join in. We will be having this conversation until June 18.

Expanding to more wikis

We have expanded to six new wikis, and are looking for more interested communities.

In the last two months, we deployed Growth features to six new wikis: Ukrainian, Serbian, Hungarian, Armenian, and Basque Wikipedias, and French Wiktionary. Newcomers from these wikis have already contributed over 600 edits through Growth features.

We want to expand to more wikis in the coming months, and we are looking for interested communities. French Wikipedia already agreed and will be the next one to join the experiment. We will contact several other wikis in the coming weeks to offer them to participate.

Do you think the Growth Team features would be a good addition to your wiki? Please see this translatable summary of Growth features. You can share with your communities and start a discussion. Then, please contact us to begin the process!

Other updates

39 topics are now available for newcomer tasks

Work continues on improving newcomer tasks and the homepage.

• In March, we deployed an upgrade to the topic matching in newcomer tasks. The current version offers 39 different topics using new ORES models.
• In April, we completed an A/B test of two homepage configurations. We learned that more newcomers will attempt suggested edits if the module is made more prominent. We are implementing those learnings in our next test. See the full results here.
• We are currently working on guidance for newcomer tasks. It will use the help panel to guide newcomers through completing easy edits.
• Our next step is to create new configurations of the homepage. The goal is to encourage more newcomers to begin doing suggested edits.

As usual, we are still welcoming your feedback and questions about our features. Please contact us on the project talk page!

@Whatamidoing: Done. Great news that Wiki Library Card is so aggressively user-sided, thank you team! Will see if the Newsletter is circulated among jawiki editors. 👍 --Omotecho (talk) 01:20, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello!

I noticed that you asked for translating the newsletter's title.

We are going to use MassMessage to send the newsletter, and this system doesn't allow translated titles. We will use the English title, because we can't use another one. If you translate the title, it will only be visible on VisualEditor/Newsletter/2020/June.

Do you still need it to be translated?

Best, Trizek (WMF) (talk) 18:38, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

@Trizek (WMF):, hello, thank you for your input. I wish to point out an issue, and the coming number of Editing News includes important request that local wikis will nominate themselves for A/B test candidates. How do we realize inclusiveness and somehow put through foreign / non-English / localized titles to local wikis? Ideally, at the time of newsletter show up in VPs. What I am afraid is that often times, input by Foundation in English language has discouraged editors even to start reading, which is not helpful for newsletter editors.

While I am translating Newsletter titles after some Foundation Team has posted on VP into ja, I am afraid it does not help find many users come back and read that part they have initially ignored. That is very unfortunate for Teams asking communities to participate in their projects. But if you say that’s the realistic solution for the time being... --Omotecho (talk) 03:08, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. It is precious feedback to prioritize work on this issue, and I'm going to share it with the developers. I'm totally on your side there: I'm also afraid of people ignoring messages because they are in English. Trizek (WMF) (talk) 11:56, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

The new features include a toolbar. What do you think should be in the toolbar?

This issue of the Editing newsletter includes information the Talk pages project, an effort to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily.

• Reply tool: This is available as a Beta Feature at the four partner wikis (Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian Wikipedias). The Beta Feature is called "Discussion tools". The Beta Feature will get new features soon. The new features include writing comments in a new visual editing mode and pinging other users by typing @. You can test the new features on the Beta Cluster now. Some other wikis will have a chance to try the Beta Feature in the coming months.
• New requirements for user signatures: Soon, users will not be able to save invalid custom signatures in Special:Preferences. This will reduce signature spoofing, prevent page corruption, and make new talk page tools more reliable. Most editors will not be affected.
• New discussion tool: The Editing team is beginning work on a simpler process for starting new discussions. You can see the initial design on the project page.
• Research on the use of talk pages: The Editing team worked with the Wikimedia research team to study how talk pages help editors improve articles. We learned that new editors who use talk pages make more edits to the main namespace than new editors who don't use talk pages.

JA Translation update request: 写真を募集中のウィキペディアのページ

Dear Omotecho,
The WPWP Campaign 写真を募集中のウィキペディアのページ is due to launch on July first - this coming week! The Organizing Team would appreciate your help again with completing the translation of the main ("Home") page (now 81% ready). You'll find it at this link - With thanks, Deborahjay, WPWP Communities Liaison

Deborahjay Hello, I jump started on other tabs on WPWP as well, and can’t wait to see everybody sign-up in a couple of days. Yes, what a bright torch of hope WPWP shine on photogs, readers, and esp translators like me hungry for well illustrated articles, and I am very grateful by bringing incentives to attract good photos/photo lovers, a small gift of appreciation is paid forward to those photo-eyes.

That said, would you kindly see to it that Rules are kept behind the translation drive...

Of course Home tag fully tells us how and what steps we should note to get enrolled, however, the important attribution/copyright issue is indicated on the FAQ&Rules tab only. Wishing photo lovers would mind their/wiki project’s baselines, so that their contribution will be counted toward sweet prizes.

(I’ve seen unhappy photogs locally who had not comprehended contest rules posted in en only, and their works missed the chance to be counted toward prize money/honor if they had known before contests end, what their images on Commons lacked to indicate their consent on wiki type Attribution/copyright condition. One reason I was told is that by posting images on the contest site or Commons, they thought it automatically granted CC-BY-SA or any permission: they told me that’s how commercial contests handle contributed works with such systematic tagging of free images.)

Take care, cheers, --Omotecho (talk) 04:59, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Omotecho, thank you for raising these excellent points. I'm referring this to the WPWP Co-coordinator, @T Cells:, who understands better than I how we can remedy this gap. -- Deborahjay (talk) 15:32, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Deborahjay for the ping. Hello Omotecho, I am not sure I understand this suggestion kindly see to it that Rules are kept behind the translation drive... as we already have Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos/FAQ and Contest Rules/en and a handful of translation of the page into ja (by you), hi & tr. Do you mean that we should ensure that the page gets translated into as many languages as possible? If yes, we can contact more translators to help. We tried to keep the campaign rules as simple as possible. We are aware that local uploads are allowed on some local Wikipedia with licenses that may not be compatible with Commons. Such images may be used on the local Wikipedia where they are allowed and they would still be eligible for prizes. For example, fair use images are allowed on the English Wikipedia but are not allowed on Commons. Thus, fair-use images used on the English Wikipedia would still be eligible for prizes since that language Wikipedia allows it. If you think we should add this to the FAQ, that is fine. I apologize, If I missed the point or misunderstood your suggestion. T Cells^Talk 21:43, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

@T Cells:, hello, and thank you for very crisp reply. Wow, as you have read my mind, but I was not aware, that it involves two issues:

• For fair-use or locally allowed image is acceptable on WPWP, a big yes, and please kindly provide that info under Rules or Home tab, so that those photogs will understand how big a chance they have on our WPWP contest and gain points/honors. I personally feel it would be an extraordinary chance and wish to learn from how local wps understand the topic of each article, by what new images they would accept as a productive editing.
• As for translation tags on Rules page. Please open #Contest Rules section. Would you mind to confirm if trans tags are properly added to the details? Yes, we have on link (a), or FAQ_and_Contest_Rules page and those two segments at the top tagged with <translate> and </translate>. Those are in ja already. Then, please look at other segments below the sentence “Here follows a list of questions and answers.” I wish I could add trans tags myself, but I have a weak edit history arranging segments properly. Isn’t the Rules table where applicants/contestants refer to the details they need to comprehend and qualify for winning points?

Maybe I am confused to find link (b), another page with every tab in one place, not sure at all which page needs to be updated for trans tags, but I don’t see translation tags on either link (a) or (b) for #Contest Rules section. Guess FAQ section would expand as we go, so I can wait and watch. Sorry if my un-tech input have you read the crystal ball again (; Cheers, --Omotecho (talk) / typo fixed 02:40, 29 June 2020 (UTC) / 02:38, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Omotecho. Sadly, I don't know much about trans tag but I'd ask someone who is more experienced in trans tag to take a look. I'd add the other information about locally uploaded work to the relevant page. Thank you so much for your help and support. T Cells^Talk 16:31, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
