Please stop "translating" en-gb pages with identical text. Thank you. Clump (talk) 15:37, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

Marking pages as translated

Hey @ExE Boss, Can I confirm what steps you are taking to mark a page as ready for translation then creating the translation subpages?

At the moment my recentchanges view is flooded with translation subpages despite having them filtered out, and the parent pages still showing "mark this page for translation", so I think a step is being missed here? P858snake (talk) 07:51, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Seconded. Earlier today (~2 hours ago) I saw lots of changes by you, most which are essentially unnecessary (creation of translation subpages after preparing them for translation. What you are achieving is more and unnecessary work (translation subpages need to be deleted to make way for actual translatable pages). ToadetteEdit (talk) 09:53, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

@P858snake: I’m not (yet) a translation administrator, so I can’t actually mark them as translatable, I can only add the ‎<translate> and ‎<languages /> tags.

@ToadetteEdit: I wasn’t aware of that (I thought the bot would automatically take care of that).

Converting to the new tvar syntax

Please refrain from converting to the ‎<tvar> new syntax across a large number of pages. The old syntax works without any issues. Shirayuki (talk) 23:57, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

@Shirayuki: I was under the impression that the old syntax is deprecated due to compatibility issues primarily with VisualEditor and (though resolved now in a hacky way) with Parsoid (T274881, T296392, T261181, and other tasks in that tree). — ExE Boss (talk) 00:15, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Re FuzzyBot

FYI User:ExE Boss/sandbox/FuzzyBot categories is fundamentally doomed - FuzzyBot will only create a category if all of the following are true:

• The page the category is on is a translation
• The category is a translation
• The language code of the category is the same as the language code of the page the category is on

I was deliberately cautious when writing that patch to avoid the potential for uncontained infinite loops. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 20:01, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Translation unit names

Never renumber the translation units. Shirayuki (talk) 10:21, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Also, refrain from making edits that only remove empty translation units from category pages. Shirayuki (talk) 21:26, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
