Welcome to Meta!
editHello, Sdkb. 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 (please read the instructions at the top of the page before posting there). Happy editing!
List page languages
editHello Sdkb,
A translatable page may contain <languages/>
tag which automatically list all translation pages. For old-style translatable pages, the {{languages}} has been used. So, creating this kind of template is actually useless. Regards, --Pols12 (talk) 17:41, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

The 2021 Community Wishlist Survey is now open! This survey is the process where communities decide what the Community Tech team should work on over the next year. We encourage everyone to submit proposals until the deadline on 30 November, or comment on other proposals to help make them better. The communities will vote on the proposals between 8 December and 21 December.
The Community Tech team is focused on tools for experienced Wikimedia editors. You can write proposals in any language, and we will translate them for you. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing your proposals!

We invite all registered users to vote on the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey. You can vote from now until 21 December for as many different wishes as you want.
In the Survey, wishes for new and improved tools for experienced editors are collected. After the voting, we will do our best to grant your wishes. We will start with the most popular ones.
We, the Community Tech, are one of the Wikimedia Foundation teams. We create and improve editing and wiki moderation tools. What we work on is decided based on results of the Community Wishlist Survey. Once a year, you can submit wishes. After two weeks, you can vote on the ones that you're most interested in. Next, we choose wishes from the survey to work on. Some of the wishes may be granted by volunteer developers or other teams.
We are waiting for your votes. Thank you!

Templates translation wish
editHi!
During the discussion stage, you wrote an insightful comment at Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Translation/Templates translation.
I think that at its current state the wish has a reasonable size and that the Community Tech team can address it. If you think it's OK, can you please vote for it, and also tell your friends about it? :)
Thanks! --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 13:02, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- It still seems like a fairly daunting task. It would be beyond amazing to have, but I'm not sure I can vote for it ahead of all the other items that are both high reward and low-effort. It looks to do well regardless, and I wish the best. Regards, {{u|Sdkb}} talk 16:07, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
