Note about translation variables[edit]

Hi, Akwugo. Thank you for helping with translations of Tech/News/2023/10, it is appreciated!

I noticed a small error in the translation, which I have fixed. In a nutshell: when you are translating any pages, the $1 and $words strings of text need to remain exactly as they are in the original (they should not be translated). E.g. Here is the fix I made.

(More detail, in case you're curious about the technical reason: The software allows us to separate out the content that should stay the same between all translations, named "translation variables" or "tvars". This is most often used for links, so that translators don't need to type in the entire [[link to long page name | translated-label]], but can instead just type in [[$1 | translated-label]]. There is not a difference between the $1 and $words; just sometimes people use $words to help give more context to the translators. Which sometimes leads to this error! :D )

I hope those details help. Thank you again for helping with spreading information via translation! Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 22:55, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Queering Wikipedia logo wordmark.svg

Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group and the organizing team of Queering Wikipedia is delivering the Queering Wikipedia 2023 Conference for LGBT+ Wikimedians and allies, as a hybrid, bilingual and trans-local event. It is online on 12, 14 and 17 May, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia #IDAHOBIT, with offline events at around 10 locations on 5 continents in the 5-day span as QW2023 Nodes.

The online program is delivered as a series of keynotes, panels, presentations, workshops, lightning talks and creative interventions, starting on Friday noon (UTC) with the first keynote of Dr Nishant Shah entitled: I spy, with my little AI — Wikiway as a means to disrupt the ‘dirty queer’ impulses of emergent AI platforms. Second keynote is at Sunday’s closure by Esra’a Al Shafei, Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees vice chair, entitled: Digital Public Spaces for Queer Communities.

If you have been an active Wikimedian or enthusiast, supporting LGBT+ activities or if you identify as part of the larger LGBT+ community and allies in Wikimedia, please join us in advancing this thematic work. We encourage you to join online or in person with fellow Wikimedians if it is easy and safe to do so. Our working languages are English and Spanish, with possible local language support at sites of Nodes.

Registration for the online event is free and is open until Wednesday May 10th at 18:00 UTC, for safety protocol. Late event registration approval and event access denial is at the discretion of organizers.

More information, and registration details, may be found on Meta at QW2023

Several recommendations are going to be implemented in the upcoming period based on the valuable input.
  • Learn about the MCDC’s work in April: The MCDC continues to draft additional chapters: The Global Council, Hubs, Decision-making and Roles & Responsibilities.
