where are the id of the UI messages ?

Hi, in -> https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Advanced_editing&diff=prev&oldid=6940302 it is right, but how (from where) I do identify the ID of the user interface to be used ? Thanks. --Christian 🇫🇷 FR (talk) 10:16, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for taking care of the translators and pages. Would you care to indicate why a particular sentence was unmarked for translation please? I understand that T:75 and T:76 ignore one sentence between them. Omotecho (talk) 03:51, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

You inserted unwanted ‎<nowiki>...‎</nowiki> tags. Shirayuki (talk) 05:03, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

My bad! Case solved, I will be more careful switching between Source and Visual Editors. Not comprehended why nowiki tags are involved though… /: Thank you for your golden wisdom as always. Omotecho (talk) 05:56, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Help:Notifications -can I edit it?

Hi Shirayuki, I have made some minor changes to Help:Notifications. However, it is not clear to me if the community here is invited to edit Help documentation. I hope the changes I made meet with your approval? Cheers, Ottawahitech (talk) 20:42, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi again, I have made a few more minor changes to Help:Notifications/Thanks. I assume that you have no objection? Ottawahitech (talk) 20:58, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Why do you leave whole chunks of the page out of translation markup?

Hey, I can't see any reasons to leave text out of translation tags, like you did on Wikimedia Language and Product Localization/Newsletter/2025/January. I understand that you did a lot of work on that page, because it had to be properly tagged. But whole lists and paragraphs ended up outside translate tags. Is it that you just didn't notice that? Ата ^(talk) 09:18, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

I didn't have enough time, so I only marked for translation the parts where the tagging was correct. For the other sections, I tried to indicate how they should be fixed to some extent. Shirayuki (talk) 10:57, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Is there anywhere a template to mark pages if parts are not tagged or would that not be usefull? True (talk) 12:25, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Question

Hi Shirayuki, can you please create the Manual:$wgLinterWriteNamespaceColumnStage page? USB4215 (talk) 14:04, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

I haven't checked for configuration variables additions/removals for weeks, so I'll do it in the coming days and reflect the changes on the pages. Shirayuki (talk) 22:57, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

@USB4215: I've checked the history of the MediaWiki core repository, but I couldn't find such a configuration variable.-- Shirayuki (talk) 09:39, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

@USB4215: That variable is defined by Extension:Linter. Configuration variables defined by extensions are not subject to the creation of separate manual pages.-- Shirayuki (talk) 09:08, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Revert

You reverted my edit [1]. There are two sentences outside of the translation which should be inside, how can i do that? --Ailura (talk) 14:13, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Use ‎<tvar>...‎</tvar> tags to make text untranslatable. -- Shirayuki (talk) 21:02, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

I wanted to make the text translatable, thank you. Ailura (talk) 06:49, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

Translation tricks

Hi Shirayuki, can you please help me to translate the name of the page "Special:ViewXML" in the sentence below

Data Transfer defines a special page, "Special:ViewXML"

thank you --JLTRY (talk) 09:57, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

To simplify translation units, use ‎<code>...‎</code> tags instead of quotes and enclose special page names with ‎<tvar>...‎</tvar> tags.-- Shirayuki (talk) 21:56, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi Shirayuki, can you help I have an issue in this page when viewing it Extension:ContactPage/fr

--JLTRY (talk) 08:43, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

If a heading contains links or code, you need to add the nowrap attribute to the surrounding translate tag. For details, read the manual.--Shirayuki (talk) 12:09, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Hi Shirayuki I do not really know how I should write the translate part for this paragraph My both last trials were reverted for Extension:Data_Transfer:

KO

<translate>You can also import content into page "slots" other than the main one, using MediaWiki's <tvar name=1>{{ll|Multi-Content Revisions}}</tvar> feature, by adding the "Slot" column, like so:</translate>

--JLTRY (talk) 12:42, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Enclose each part that translators should not translate or modify with a separate ‎<tvar>...‎</tvar> tag. Your markup does not seem to meet that requirement, based on my reading of the page content.-- Shirayuki (talk) 21:07, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Pagelinks.sql.gz file

Hi @Shirayuki

I am trying to work with the Pagelinks file in order to extract the number of articles that link to a specific Wiki page (same idea as can be seen in the "What-links-here" tool.

However, when I loop over this sql like file, I find very weird cases of links that doesn't seem to exist in Wikipedia.

For example, the first line in the file indicate that there is a link between page ids 1939 and 2. PageID 2 doesn't even seems to exist.

Even when I look on pageIDs that do exist, the link indicated in the file does not exist in the actual wiki page.

Am I missing anything?

thanks a lot! Avrahami-isr (talk) 18:10, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Please ask at Project:Support desk. Shirayuki (talk) 22:10, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Sure, thanks! Avrahami-isr (talk) 02:07, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

how to call the template {{categoryPages}} without breaking the list ?

hello i need your help if you agree. My first steps in template coding let me create a simple template {{categoryPages}} today. Tests seem ok on the flow but when I call the template from a list # in Manual:Adding_support_for_new_filetypes#What_do_I_need_to_do? it lost the numbering. Where to look for ?

blabla..... See the complete list in Category:Media handling extensions . ..is correct on the flow ..blabla

1. this is first list item on the same line but it breaks See the complete list in Category:Media handling extensions .
2. second item
3. third item

Thankx -- Christian 🇫🇷 FR 🚨 (talk) 21:00, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

@Wladek92: Writing {{CategoryPages}} will transclude Template:CategoryPages/en. Templates with translation-aware transclusion enabled behave in the same way.-- Shirayuki (talk) 23:26, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes my problem is not if it is transcluded or not but as you see in the source, transclusion is requested to be made on the same line without breaking the list.

blabla..... {{categoryPages|cat=Media handling extensions}}. ..is correct on the flow ..blabla

1. this is first list item on the same line but it breaks {{categoryPages|cat=Media handling extensions}}.
2. second item
3. third item

Christian 🇫🇷 FR 🚨 (talk) 10:43, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

@Wladek92: Compare the source of {{CategoryPages}} and {{CategoryPages/en}}. Although you are transcluding the former, in reality, the latter is transcluded, which causes confusion.-- Shirayuki (talk) 11:39, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks seems having satisfying functionality , pb of the includes tags Christian 🇫🇷 FR 🚨 (talk) 21:21, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
