Catalan Asian Month

Hallo, I have created the Asian Month contest in the catalan language. I have also created Fountain (https://fountain.toolforge.org/editathons/asian-month-catalan-2024) However I am not administrator and the tool does not allow me to realise/activate it. Could you check it and help me, please. Thanks. F3RaN (talk) 19:04, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @F3RaN, Thank you for reaching out! I have already approved your application last week. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know. Thank you for being involved in WAM again! Betty2407 (talk) 13:35, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

WAM 2024 in idwiki

Hi Betty, I was wondering if it is still somehow possible for us to organize WAM 2024 on Indonesian Wikipedia (idwiki)? I understand that the start date has passed, but I wanted to keep the event running there after a two-year break. Thanks! ··· 🌸 Rachmat04 · ☕ 04:33, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Rachmat04, Thank you for your message, and we warmly welcome the Indonesian Wikipedia community’ s participation! Please select a one-month period start from November, such as from November 10th to December 10th, to host your event. Please feel free to let me know if there are any other questions :-) Betty2407 (talk) 04:40, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Great! Thanks for your response, Betty. We will follow your guidance for now. ··· 🌸 Rachmat04 · ☕ 11:12, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Betty, I hope you're doing well. I have another person who'd want to be a jury in our WAM. How do we add them in the fountain tool? ··· 🌸 Rachmat04 · ☕ 03:00, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Rachmat04, please refer to "Fountain Tool - Change settings" to see if this works for you. Thank you. Betty2407 (talk) 04:31, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Perfect. Thanks again! ··· 🌸 Rachmat04 · ☕ 06:48, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

WAM 2024 in gorwiki

Hi Betty, I have created an WAM 2024 contest on Wikipedia Gorontalo. I tried to create a Fountain but I don't have access rights. (https://fountain.toolforge.org/editathons/asian-month-2024-gor) Please help me to check and create it. Thanks. Marwan Mohamad (talk) 04:01, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

WAM 2024 in ttwiki

Hi Betty, This year I organized the month of Asia in three language schools at once, including in the Chuvash language for the first time. Several participants wrote at least 4 articles on some Asian country (for example, about Korea). What should I do or where should I indicate this so that participants can receive postcards?--Il Nur (talk) 16:26, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Il Nur, Thank you for reaching out to me. Unfortunately, this year only digital barnstars will be awarded to the eligible participants. Please help us to list add the eligible participants on the page "Golden Award". The examples can also be found in last year's campaign.

We will consider to recover the postcard tradition in the future and if you have any suggestions or feedback, please feel free to let us know. Thank you! Betty2407 (talk) 09:52, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. Il Nur (talk) 11:57, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

About awarding

Asian Essay Competition 2024. This editathon has been completed on all wikis and the results have been published. But even though the results have been declared, the awards have not yet been given. Please give credit to all wikis. Thank you editor of Bangla Wikipedia মোঃ মালেক ইসলাম (talk) 15:02, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Dear @মোঃ মালেক ইসলাম, Thank you for reaching out to me. Considering that some communities are still in the process of review, our original plan for sending the barnstars is set for April. Please refer to the 2024 campaign main page for more details.

Of course, our team can begin sending rewards to the communities that have already completed the review. I can start this process within the next few weeks.

Thank you for this message. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Betty2407 (talk) 15:15, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

First finished in many wikis First finished in Bengali wiki, finished in English wiki results published. It is better to give the rewards to those that have finished earlier. Later put together it creates workload. Early payment will reduce the workload and give editors more incentive to work. মোঃ মালেক ইসলাম (talk) 15:25, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the suggestion and understanding. Betty2407 (talk) 17:03, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia Asian Month statistics

Dear Betty2407, I am looking for global statistics for the 2024 edition of the Wikipedia Asian Month. Statistics are missing from this page, and in the related section there is also only a note "(To Be Updated)". Do you have at least a list of the participating communities (languages) or Fountain tools? Is there a way to find out in the Fountain tool, which campaigns are part of the Wikipedia Asian Month? Thank you for your answer in advance. Samat (talk) 15:06, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

@Joycewikiwiki maybe you have an answer, as the creator of the stats page :) Thanks! Samat (talk) 15:12, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Samat, @Betty2407 will be able to provide the statistics, she could update it soon, thank you for your understanding. For you question about "how to find out in the Fountain tool, which campaigns are part of the Wikipedia Asian Month", it is part of the feature for tool upgrade. Currently, fountain tool is not able to do that. Joycewikiwiki (talk) 22:41, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Dear @Samat, Thank you for reaching out to me. Yes, I have the statistics. I will update the meta page after I get the confirmation from a few communities. Would you be in a hurry to get the data? Betty2407 (talk) 01:25, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Dear @Joycewikiwiki and @Betty2407, thank you very much for your helpful answer (and sorry for the delay in responding). I would need the data in about a week. I would appreciate it if you could share the result (if not the final, then a preliminary) by then. Thank you very much! Samat (talk) 20:17, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Dear @Samat, please find the preliminary result here. Looking forward to seeing the Hungary community join WAM in 2025. Thanks! Betty2407 (talk) 15:46, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much, this is a great help! :) Samat (talk) 22:22, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Dear @Betty2407 could you please explain me, how you define the metrics "Editors Involved" and "Editors Completed"? What do they mean? Thank you! Samat (talk) 18:43, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

Dear @Samat,"Editors Involved" refers to the users who participated, while "Editors Completed" refers to those who scored 4 or above. Betty2407 (talk) 02:30, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! :) Samat (talk) 17:33, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Get started with the Lua interface to simplify the preparation of modules for translation in MetaWiki

Greetings!

The Language and Product Localization team has developed a Lua interface to simplify the preparation of Lua modules for translation in the MetaWiki platform. This means that module developers can now use the new Lua interface to load translatable strings, and the translators can translate them in the same translation interface that is used for templates and wiki pages.

This improvement makes it easier for translators to find and edit module strings without dealing with raw Lua code. It helps prevent mistakes that could break the module during translation.

We invite you to watch our demo video and read more about translatable modules to understand how it works. Please give us your feedback on this talk page on how well the Lua interface addresses the challenges in your workflow and how useful it is in module localization tasks. You can also refer to Module:User Wikimedia project, which was recently converted to utilize these messages, for example usage.

Your feedback is important as it will help us evaluate and decide how to continue developing and improving this interface, extend it to other wikis, or change our approach.

Thank you, and we anticipate your honest feedback.

Asian Month 2025

Hello, I'm organizing the Asian Month in several language sections, and I can't create a page in the fountain tool because no one is confirming the drafts.--Il Nur (talk) 07:48, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

Dear @Il Nur, Thank you for reaching out to me. The article size in the Fountain you created have been revised to "at least 3000 byte or 300 words". And the request of Fountain creation is approved. Please check and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. Betty2407 (talk) 03:23, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

Dear Betty, thank you for your reply. Is there a specific rule that requires articles to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words long? If not, please return to us only "more than 2500 bytes". Previously, we used our local rules, and we were told that it was not prohibited. And secondly, there are no word counting tools in our sections. And based on previous experience, I can say that the participants simply refused to participate with such conditions. Il Nur (talk) 17:11, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

Dear,@Betty2407, you didn't seem to notice my question. Il Nur (talk) 10:04, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

I also can't create a page on fontana for the Tuvan and Yakut Wikipedia, as they can't confirm the previous ones for a very long time. Il Nur (talk) 10:05, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

Dear @Il Nur, Sorry for the late reply, the notification was sandwiched.

Yes, WAM does allow for local rules. However, we will only distribute digital barnstars and physical postcards to participants who meet the global criteria. Once the campaign concludes, would your team be able to provide a list of eligible participants who meet the global criteria?

As for the Fountain, I have addressed the application for cv.wikipedia.org. But I can not see the other one that you mentioned. Betty2407 (talk) 11:53, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

Yes, after all, let's leave 3000 bytes. Can you fix this in the created forums for Tatar, Bashkir and Chuvash Wikipedia? Now I will create for the Yakut and Tuvan. Thank you. Il Nur (talk) 17:33, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

Dear @Il Nur,

Done Tatar, Bashkir and Chuvash Wikipedia 's rules are revised to at least 3000 bytes.

Done Sakha Wikipedia's Fountain works now.

I did not see the Tyva Wikipedia's application in Fountain. Could you please check? Thank you. Betty2407 (talk) 09:30, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

The fountain doesn't let the other one do it until one is working. Thank you. Il Nur (talk) 09:49, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

Dear @Il Nur, Understood. Please ping me, when it is ready. Thank you. Betty2407 (talk) 09:50, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

It is ready. Thank you. Il Nur (talk) 09:52, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

@Il Nur Done I have enabled it. Thank you. Betty2407 (talk) 12:15, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
