Interference?

I believe arbitrary raising/lowering the user-right limitation for publishing pages through the Content Translation tool should be left to the local communities. We must not only think of big wikiprojects but smaller wikiprojects as well, which are oftenly understaffed and overlooked. Such actions may increase the load global sysops and patrollers already have. In such cases it's best to let projects themselves decide on this matter.

Possibly huge step

I cannot say anything to the issue A09 raised, but this could actually be a huge step for attracting new editors and expanding wikipedias less worked upon. Imho it would be a good entrance for beginners into the workings of Wikipedia, especially the formatting. Machine translations are getting better and better, although some review would probably be necessary. MenkinAlRire (talk) 11:29, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Communities should be careful with implementations. The last thing we would like to see is yet another Scots Wikipedia scenario where a user dumps half of the entire project's content through the machine translation tool without proper oversight. Improving one area, in this case content creation on the user side, should also mean improving content creation on the project side, meaning such massive change would probably need draft systems on all wikis, however the current enwiki draft system is not scallable to other much smaller wikis.
