Explain your plan

Tell us about how you contribute currently, and how you would contribute if WMF were to gift a used laptop to you. Currently: Contributing through a old computer @ 11 years old and locally assembled(not branded)which creates many problems and requires frequent repair. No new scripts can run on it. Can not update things.While working it, feels like in stone edge.

Would try to contribute in:

• Improvement of mr.wikipedia and to make it at-par with other Indian language projects.
• Improve corresponding wikidata/wikidata, wikilinks
• Run bot scripts on mr.wiki and perform necessary large level corrections which are badly required
• Import/update modules and templates to update mr.wiki
• Improve categorisation of articles/add categories to the articles
• Clear off pending maintenance issues on special pages
• Add more Images to mr.wiki from commons to improve its look.
• Add new articles to mr.wiki by translating them from en.wiki/other wikis
• Improve self-working as admin, to make it fast so that, remaining time can be spent on improvements
