CEE Spring 2019

Hi Philip Kopetzky! Since no one volunteered to organize CEE Spring 2019 for Turkish Wikipedia, as a member of the Wikimedia Community User Group Turkey, I volunteered to organize it for the Turkish Wikipedia community. In the rules section of the contest, it says that I should be "ready reveal to the Wikimedia Austria office their full name, contact address and bank account number to be used for money transfers" and I am ready. Can you inform me how to complete that process? Cheers.--Rapsar (talk) 23:00, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

@Rapsar: Hi Rapsar! Very happy to see Turkey participate! :-) Please contact User:Manfred Werner (WMAT) via the email function. You only have to share your details when it comes to getting the prizes, so you don't need to do that right away :-) Best, Philip Kopetzky (talk) 11:05, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Wikimedia CEE Spring 2020/Hall of Fame

How is the award supposed to be given? Do the listed users give it to themselves? --Croxyz (talk) 16:15, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

@Croxyz: Wikimedia Austria will contact you to send you a small thank you gift, but feel free to use the barnstar if you wish to display it! :-) Best, Philip Kopetzky (talk) 18:20, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I hope you don't mind if I hijack this topic for a new question. About the prizes for CEE Spring 2020, are you the contact person or should I write to someone else about details on how to buy them? Thank you, — Yerpo ^Eh? 08:39, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

@Yerpo: Yes, sorry for the confusion - you can also send an email directly to Annemarie Buchmann (WMAT) (talk · contribs) for the buying process :-) Best, Philip Kopetzky (talk) 09:15, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Appreciated your comment today

That's all :) –SJ talk  19:59, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

@Sj: Thanks, I'm glad we can discuss this openly now. We've been talking about these issues with the WMF in backchannels for far too long :-/ Philip Kopetzky (talk) 10:00, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Tell me more! I feel I've missed some of these, and they are relevant to regional coordination everywhere :) How is the current back-and-forth practically holding things up for you? (as I think about how we're doing with coordination in the Americas...) –SJ talk  14:42, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

@Sj Sorry, I was on holiday the last few weeks in Central Asia. The current roadblocks have been removed without an official explanation, I'd be happy to do a call to discuss how these various efforts are doing and what the best approach might be. Philip Kopetzky (talk) 12:05, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Very good, I'd appreciate that! Just say when. –SJ talk  00:08, 28 June 2022 (UTC) (Skype:metasj)

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.
