Requested user-rights: Translation administrator.

To prepare and mark new articles for translation without delays. I had previously requested these permissions a year ago. But failed to meet up with the request to prepare another one. I have since done so.

I'm interested in marking more complex articles which seem to have gone unnoticed thus far. And I will do so based off my existing knowledge and by following the suggestions existing translation administrators have shared with me on this project, such as User_talk:Shirayuki to make translating such articles as convenient as possible.--Id508317 (talk) 13:11, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have partially fixed your markup in Extension:SyntaxHighlight. (1) "tvar" variable names should be simple as possible, (2) internal links pointing to enwiki should be translatable, etc. The translation markup you used is unnecessary complex. --Shirayuki (talk) 14:19, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would personally use just numbered variables, but I do recall someone saying (not saying it was you) that they should be descriptive. I might have read too much into that one though. Thanks for making it clear. --Id508317 (talk) 14:39, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I believe the markup would look considerably more cleaner if you didn't add line breaks where ‎<translate> tags begin. Especially considering with a recent update the translation unit markings can precede a translation unit with a single space, rather than line break. e.g. ‎<translate><!-- T:1 --> Text here‎</translate>. At least to me it'd look better, especially with Extension:CodeMirror syntax highlighting.
<translate >
<!-- T:1 -->
Text here. </translate >

<translate >
<!-- T:2 -->
Text here. </translate >
vs
<translate ><!-- T:1 --> Text here. </translate > <translate ><!-- T:2 --> Text here. </translate >
or
<translate ><!-- T:1 --> Text here. </translate >
<translate ><!-- T:2 --> Text here. </translate >
(better use of space, in my opinion and with the third option it would be super simple to navigate source). --Id508317 (talk) 15:12, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'll withdraw my request. Doesn't appear to be going anywhere. Apparently this community has enough competent contributors. --Id508317 (talk) 20:54, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
