Wikipedia in sassaresu

Salve! Volevo segnalare ai partecipanti della wiki in còrso (scusate se scrivo in italiano) la proposta di creare la Wikipedia in Sassaresu. Per supportarne la creazione è possibile aggiungersi a questa lista e scrivere un breve commento a favore. Inoltre è già possibile iniziare a scrivere su incubator:Wp/sdc (con pochi semplici accorgimenti, come ricordarsi di inserire [[Category:Wp/sdc]] e creando le categorie non ancora esistenti); non ritenendo in discussione lo status di lingua, credo che un centinaio di articoli ed un 5-10 partecipanti dovrebbero bastare per l'approvazione il progetto; se foste a conoscenza di altre persone interessante vi invito caldamente a farle iscrivere e partecipare. Per una prima norma di scrittura è possibile fare affidamento su questo breve testo. Consideratemi sempre a disposizione per qualsiasi chiaramento o informazione. Azzidezzi! --87.16.91.185 09:21, 30 aostu 2007 (UTC)

Betawiki: better support for your language in MediaWiki

Dear community. I am writing to you to promote a special wiki called Betawiki. This wiki facilitates the localisation (l10n) of the MediaWiki interface. You may have changed many messages here on this wiki to use your language, but if you would log in to for example the English language Wiktionary, you would not be able to use the interface as well translated as here. Infact, of the 1793 messages in the core of MediaWiki, 0 messages have been translated. Betawiki also supports the translation of messages of almost 80 extensions, with 984 messages.

If you wish to contribute to better support of your language in MediaWiki, as well as for many MediaWiki extensions, please visit Betawiki, create an account and request translator priviledges. You can see the current status of localisation of your language on meta and do not forget to get in touch with others that may already be working on your language on Betawiki.

If you have any further questions, please let me know on my talk page on Betawiki. We will try and assist you as much as possible, for example by importing all messages from a local wiki for you to start with, if you so desire.

You can also find us on the Freenode IRC network in the channel #mediawiki-i18n where we would be happy to help you get started.

Thank you very much for your attention and I do hope to see some of you on Betawiki soon! Cheers! Siebrand@Betawiki 08:54, 24 settembre 2007 (UTC)

proposal to close the corsican wikibooks

Hello,

I was temporary admin to co.wikibooks, and I have seen no activity on articles since at least 6 month. There are only 13 articles, quite only stubs.

The activity began in may 2005, and never really started.

I think about proposing this site for closing. What is your opinion about it ?

Regards

--Hercule 13:15, 7 sittembre 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I disagree. The current priority for us is improving wikipedia in corsu. But once wikipedia reaches a good quality level, the interest in wikibooks will be revived. It may stay as it is during some time, but its interest will come later. On the other hand, wikisource could be closed, on my opinion, since all its content can be easily transferred into wikipedia. But the same does not go for wikibooks. Regards. Paulu 16:27, 9 sittembre 2009 (UTC)

Hello,

Thanks for this answer. As there is no activity (and only 13 pages since the opening of this site), whouldn't it be better to close it, and ask to reopen it when you think it's time to really start? Currently this wiki has nobody to manage it, and can be target of spam bots and vandalism.

How can we improve the usability for your language

We expect that with the implementation of LocalisationUpdate the usability of MediaWiki for your language will improve. We are now ready to look at other aspects of usability for your language as well. There are two questions we would like you to answer: Are there issues with the new functionality of the Usability Initiative Does MediaWiki support your language properly

The best way to answer the first question is to visit the translatewiki.net. Change the language to your language, select the “vector” skin and add the advanced tool bar in in the preferences and check out the new functionality. And make some changes in your user page. When there is a need to improve on the localisation, please make the necessary changess . It should update your localisation straight away. We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability_issues.

When there are problems with the support of MediaWiki for your language, we really want to know about this. It is best to report each issue separately. In this way there will be no large mass of issues to resolve but we can address each issue on its own. Consider issues with the display of characters, the presentation of your script, the position of the side bar, the combination of text with other languages, scripts. It is best to try this in an environment like the prototype wiki as it provides you with a clean, basic and up to date environment. The prototype wiki is available for five languages but you can select any of them, change the preferences to your language and test out MediaWiki for your language.

We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language issues. The issues you raise will all be assessed. It is important to keep each issue separate, because this will make it easier to understand the issues and find solutions.
