July 14 news item displayed in the wrong language

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The July 14 news item is displayed in Catalan instead of English. Please fix it! --Agusbou2015 (talk) 18:58, 21 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

What is the purpose of the “(requests)” link?

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

By analogy to “complete list” (for “Projects”) I thought it would give me a list of translation requests, but instead it explains how to request a translation, something that seems to be already explained in the “Translation” link. Is this an error, or is there something obvious I’m missing? — Al12si (talk) 20:18, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

-I suggest use Metawiki, Metawik, Mewiki or '''Tame''' (meTAwikiMEdia) for the project.--[[User:BoldLuis|BoldLuis]] ([[User talk:BoldLuis|talk]]) 10:07, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

-:: Use an unique (proper) name for the project and avoid the employ of hyphens. --[[User:BoldLuis|BoldLuis]] ([[User talk:BoldLuis|talk]]) 10:12, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

-:::: To have an unique (proper) name, as Wikipedia. You do not need to use "Wikimedia Wikipedia". Only say "Wikipedia". Insted of this, there is a lot "metawikis". So you need to say two words to talk about the project "Wikimedia Meta-Wiki" and use a hypen ( - ). It is shorter "Tame" or "Mewiki". We can say: "you / we are in Tame" or "you are in Mewiki". --[[User:BoldLuis|BoldLuis]] ([[User talk:BoldLuis|talk]]) 10:18, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

-:::::: It is not. There are other wikis that have metawikis / meta-wikis to talk about the project. Because of this, you use "Mediawiki Meta-Wiki" instead, including an annoying hyphen (originally, the name was Meta-Wikipedia). --[[User:BoldLuis|BoldLuis]] ([[User talk:BoldLuis|talk]]) 10:22, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
-::::::: Why is a hyphen annoying? Could you also point to specific wikis which are known under the name "Meta-Wiki"? [[User:1234qwer1234qwer4|𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰]] ([[User talk:1234qwer1234qwer4|𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠]]) 10:33, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
-:::::::: It also happened in e-mail and email [https://www.writewithjean.com/2011/08/06/that-annoying-hyphen-is-gone/] and other words.

-#I think there's a problem with the counter on the amharic version of wiktionary because I've created about 20 pages (of contents) since November 2 and I've never seen it change the number of total pages. It's a little bit frustrating.
