[edit]please use my talk page. You can write me in any of the languages mentioned in my Babel templates. Usually I'll answer in Italian only if you write in Italian, otherwise I'll use English. Sorry, but my knowledge of other languages is too limited to permit anything more than reading. --M/

Get started with the Lua interface to simplify the preparation of modules for translation in MetaWiki
[edit]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.

Some recommendations when closing requests for adminship
[edit]Hi. I appreciate your hard work in closing requests for adminship on Meta-Wiki, but I wanted to leave you some recommendations to account for:
- When closing these requests, I would recommend using
{{Closed request top}}as I recently updated it to support dark mode in Vector 2022. Currently, with whatever template you are using when closing these requests, it does not work well in dark mode, as the bright light green screen and dark text together make it hard to read when using dark mode (and when using Convenient Discussions). - It is best to avoid closing adminship requests in which you voted, as is with Meta:Requests for adminship/BRPever 2 (your vote and closure). Therefore, it is recommended to leave the closing to an uninvolved bureaucrat.
Thank you. Codename Noreste (talk) 01:55, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Codename Noreste I appreciate your technical skills, but I would like to point out that Meta:Bureaucrats stipulates that they only enforce consent, especially in permission requests and specifies that they are bound primarily by policy and consensus to grant any access. They are expected to be capable judges of consensus, and are expected to explain the reasoning for their actions on request and in a civil manner. In the case you have highlited, I closed successfully a unanimous vote, just after another Bureaucrat had said that they were arrived too early to do that, and also casted their own vote. This can be enough to ensure the community that my judgement in closing that RfA was not influenced by my support, nor that my own support (casted after other 16 opinions) had any influence on that. May I suggest you to reflect on community mechanics and to take the opportunity to avoid nitpicking, especially since you are a good sysop candidate and you can indeed add value (also) to this project and community. Thanks --M/ (talk) 06:38, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
- My apologies. I sincerely thank you for your response. Codename Noreste (talk) 14:59, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
add TA to my mobile account
[edit]Hi @M7. I'd really appreciate if you could grant TA rights on my mobile account: AafiOnMobile. I seem to have good use-case these days and can't do the right-granting thing myself. Advance thanks. signed, Aafi (talk) 17:12, 7 September 2025 (UTC)
