Since Action API is not the only API of MediaWiki. GZWDer (talk) 10:13, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- @GZWDer: That seems reasonable, though we of course have api.wikimedia.org as the main user-facing pages nowadays. I think this is something the MediaWiki Interfaces team owns, however, so I would want their opinion first. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 09:46, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- Bump to prevent archival. * Pppery * it has begun 15:17, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

- Bump. * Pppery * it has begun 15:12, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
- Note that this move would require a sysadmin due to the translatable page containing more than 500 bits. * Pppery * it has begun 01:09, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

I've been translating site content to Spanish for some time. Which is the best procedure to follow when encountering a fairly long and complex page (say, more than a few dozen translation units and a size of several KB) that clearly was automatically translated? Mark it for deletion ({{Delete}}, {{Speedy}})? Just fix the translation? Sabbut (talk) 16:48, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
- Bumping this question to prevent automatic archival, as I'm also interested in what folks' thoughts are about (what to do with) automated translations on MW.org. Best, —a smart kitten[meow] 14:23, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
- Personally I think it would depend on the translation and the content that is there, There is nothing wrong machine translation per say (The user should be QAing the translation like anything else). If its horribly bad and you don't have time to retranslate I would would probably delete it, If it just needs simple corrections and time is available you could probably just correct it.

On Help:Lint errors/multiple-unclosed-formatting-tags, in the languages that have a translated unit for the heading
Scenario 2: Incorrect use of<tag>instead of</tag>
the heading itself displays correctly, but is preceded by the visible line
<span id="Scenario_2:_Incorrect_use_of_<tag>_instead_of_</tag>">
In the English original, as well as any languages lacking a translation for that translation unit, the spurious markup does not appear.
I tried structuring the translate and span tags in the source to make sure they’re balanced and correct, to no avail. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I can look into it? --tooki (talk) 18:38, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

I think their rights should be removed as there is no point or benefit in keeping them, and it helps with clear stats. Thanks! -- CptViraj (talk) 14:49, 6 June 2025 (UTC)
