User page edit
Hi, I received a notification that you edited my user page here. Can you please explain why you are doing this? I generally prefer local templates with local categories (e.g. I had a more precise tk:Kategoriýa:User en-4, while you moved me to a more general tk:Kategoriýa:User en). I do know that I had a red link or two, but I expected that someone will ultimately create these templates. Is there any consensus for removing local templates and using global Babel instead, because I think you did it for everyone and not just for me? Thanks — NickK (talk) 20:44, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Good day, the Babel template itself is depreciated and it is strongly encouraged to use the extension instead. Reason is that the templates on these small wikis are generally left unmaintained for a long time and after multiple MediaWiki version updates, it may or may not have display issues with it. As such, I'm slowly doing a one time sweep. A sub-category can be created for respective understanding levels but it isn't necessary as it is sorted accordingly to numbers 1 thru 5 at its main category. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 03:18, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- I do understand that there is problem with maintaining templates in small wikis, but the way it is happening does not look right. Of course I don't know what is the local community consensus, although I don't speak Turkmen and could have missed something. First, Babel template can be configured and if local community considers that categories like tk:Kategoriýa:User en-4 are useful, then Babel template can also use them. On the other hand, if categories like tk:Kategoriýa:User en-4 and templates like tk:Şablon:User en-4 are deprecated, they probably should be deleted or redirected. The way you did it might cause confusion: first, new users can still use deprecated Babel templates, secondly, (almost) empty categories are still connected to other wikis via Wikidata. Connecting e.g. from en:Category:User en-N I do see an empty category in Turkmen Wikipedia, so I can incorrectly assume that there are no native English speakers editing Turkmen Wikipedia (while actually there are). But once again, maybe what you did was exactly the community consensus; if this is the case, I am sorry for that and feel free to forward my feedback to the relevant community page (or point me to one). Thanks — NickK (talk) 01:38, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
- Good day, see my comment at tk:Wikipediýa:Çaýhana#Babel. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 04:22, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks and help
Hi @Minorax, thanks for having had a look at our Campaigns pages "¡Alto! Mujeres haciendo história" and "Atenção, Mulheres fazendo história". The campaign starts tomorrow and we are still finishing it up with the meta skills we have at hand, so please forgive us if we have to undo any changes/improvements from you; they may disturb the structure we created and the one we are able to manage for the pages to work (it's not a pure translation, some contents in Portuguese must be a bit different from the source in Spanish). We hope you understand! Also, we would like to ask for your help with a specific request: by mistake we have the English translation active in some subpages and I even added content there by mistake (while translating into Portuguese). Do you think you could support us with deleting the pages/subpages in English, please? @Rodelar and I will be very thankful. Best, Contaminadas (talk) 11:11, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Good day. I'm only making syntax fixes so please refrain from undoing them if you do not understand the code. I'd be happy to help to fix it if you're unsure. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 12:07, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi again @Minorax. By your message, shall I conclude that you can't support us with the English pages' deletion? Thanks again for your support. Contaminadas (talk) 13:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- I can help with the deletion. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 13:53, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- On your changes in the source in Spanish, they are affecting the navigation in Portuguese. Please have a look at the buttons. They break everytime there is a fix. I'm not the expert, and I'm positive that you know it better than me. But If there is another way to make the buttons work properly in your opinion, keeping the navigation between languages separate, please let us know. But as said, the proposed changes are breaking what was working before. Thanks, Contaminadas (talk) 13:18, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Can you tell me what issues you are facing? I can't seem to find any issues except Translations:Event:¡Alto! Mujeres haciendo historia/9/pt-br where the links are incorrect if you want it to point to the Portuguese Wikipedia. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 13:58, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for the support @Minorax: for fixing those links and looking into the pages in English we would like to delete. Here, and here. Contaminadas (talk) 16:34, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
