Page purpose[edit]

Dear Legoktm, What is the purpose of this page? Do you expect to export translations of this page to Fediverse? -- Pols12 (talk) 13:19, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pols12: yes, that's what I was thinking. Let me add a short introduction explaining that... Legoktm (talk) 15:46, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thank you. So you may want to remove the “Hashtag” introducing word I have added (sorry). -- Pols12 (talk) 15:51, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No worries! Added the intro, let me know if anything could be better explained. Legoktm (talk) 15:56, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That seems me fine. 🙂 Should I mark it for translation now? -- Pols12 (talk) 16:00, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes please :) Legoktm (talk) 16:04, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Anyone can edit"[edit]

I'd really love it if it mentioned more explicitly that anyone can edit it. It's the meaning of "wiki", but a lot of people don't fully understand what "wiki" means.

Here's my proposal: remove the "Contribution" part, because people may understand it as a call for donations, and say something like this: "Anyone can edit, including you! Follow us to learn how you can do it!" Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 19:46, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Amire80: great suggestion. I incorporated your wording, what do you think? Feel free to edit it directly too, just try to keep an eye on the character count. Legoktm (talk) 01:31, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good, thanks! Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 05:47, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Posted[edit]

English, Hebrew, German. Will wait a day or two to see how well they do before posting more. Legoktm (talk) 21:03, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. Thank you. :) ElLutzo (talk) 23:36, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for translating :))
After a little under a week Hebrew got 4 boosts, 13 favorites. German is 31/50.
Now posted Korean and Dutch.
@Litlok: thanks for translating into French, but it's currently too long at 641 characters (the limit is 500). Is it possible to make the translation shorter somehow? Legoktm (talk) 21:52, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oops. @Legoktm: I've tried to make it shorter but I'm not very accustomed to translating, and tend to be a bit too verbose sometimes. I'll put a message on Projet:Traduction to have a look at it. Litlok (talk) 07:20, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Legoktm: Gentil Hibou and Daehan have worked on the translation, but we are not sure of the number of characters. Is it OK now? Litlok (talk) 06:48, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Litlok: it fits, posted! Thank you all for working on it :) Legoktm (talk) 05:43, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A week later, Dutch had 6 boosts, 13 favorites. Korean is at 33/14! Legoktm (talk) 05:44, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
After 5 days, French was at 16 boosts, 21 favorites.
Now posted Indonesian and Javanese - thanks @Labdajiwa for translating :) Legoktm (talk) 04:43, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
