[chanjya] Wikipedia:1,000 erthyglow
To whoever may be reading:
Dydh da! Wikipedia as a whole has constructed a list of the 1,000 vital articles that all Wikipedias should have. I know this would be a real feat here but it would be a great boost for the Cornish Wikipedia's scope, and perhaps would provide some focus and in turn speed things up on here. I know translation isn't some people's strong point but just a paragraph or two would make a useful article. You don't even have to worry about wikilinks and code etc, any edits will pop up on the recent changes list so we can link and categorise the article soon after.
If you are interested, the list is at Wikipedia:1,000 erthyglow. Gromercy dhis, --Moon 22:25, 1 Meurth 2009 (UTC)
[chanjya] Request for adminship
Hi all, I've made a request here to be an admin on the Cornish Wikipedia, but I first need to make an announcement here. If you have an opinion on my request then please make it known. My Cornish isn't good enough (yet) to write huge long articles but I can at least get them started. I enjoy tinkering with the boring stuff like categories and templates so if that's combined with the language skills of the other contributors here then I think we can give the Cornish Wikipedia some fresh movement. Regards, --Moon 13:14, 3 Meurth 2009 (UTC)
- I'm for as you speak some Cornish and show that you are willing to maintain this wiki. --Ooswesthoesbes 18:19, 3 Meurth 2009 (UTC)

[chanjya] Adminship renewal
Dydh da oll, my adminship is up for renewal and I've made a request for it to be extended here. You can support or oppose this request so if you have an opinion on it please make it known below. Many thanks --Moon 09:30, 9 Metheven 2009 (UTC)
[chanjya] FFS (SWF)
Hello, I'm sorry to write in English, I'd like to speak Cornish. Since the Standard Written Form is available, maybe the Cornish Wikipedia could follow a new policy:
- Each article would be available in (or adapted to) SWF.
- Non-SWF versions would remain available in all cases thanks to tabs a the top of the articles.
Other Wikipedias have adopted such solutions in order to display different systems for a same article, for instance in Serbian (Cyrillic script tab "ћирилица" and Latin script tab "latinica"), in Aragonese (Uesca-to-SLA link and SLA-to-Uesca link) and in Emiliano-Romagnolo (links to different dialects in the upper right corner).--Nil Blau 23:30, 9 Gortheren 2009 (UTC)
- Hou, Nil Blau. I also thought about something like that, but the problem is that the differences between the orthographies isn't just a matter of spelling, there are also changes in grammar and vocabulary.
- The current system is that people can choose which orthography they want to write in when they start a new article, and other editors respect that choice. It probably keeps users of certain orthographies from editing more often, but the site using just one orthography would probably do the same thing. At the moment it's the best way of preventing edit warring, but if the site sees an increase in editors then we could revisit that policy. Oll an gwella, --Moon 11:11, 14 Gortheren 2009 (UTC)
- OK, Moon, I see. But in my proposal, all users could use freely their preferred systems. Each article would have a default SWF version and could be developped simultaneously in an alternative version (KK, KS, RLC etc). Users of all systems would be welcome and could edit more often.--Nil Blau 01:10, 15 Gortheren 2009 (UTC)

[chanjya] The LocalisationUpdate extension has gone live
The LocalisationUpdate extension is now enabled for all Wikimedia projects. From now on new localisations that become available in SVN will become available to your project within 24 hours. Your localisations get into SVN from translatewiki.net typically within a day and at worst in two days. This is a huge improvement from the old practice where the localisations became available with new software. This could take weeks, even months.
The localisations done by our community at translatewiki.net are committed to SVN typically every day. When the system messages in English are the same as the local messages, they will now be inserted in a file and are available for use in all our projects in a timely manner
[chanjya] What this means for you
Local messages have an impact on the performance of our system. It is best when messages are as much as possible part of the system messages. In order to remove unnecessary duplication, all the messages that have a local localisation and are exactly the same as the system message will be removed. What we ask you to do is to compare and proof read the messages in translatewiki.net and the local messages. You can then either remove local messages when the translatewiki.net message is to be preferred or, you can update the message at translatewiki.net.
Messages that are specific to your project will have to stay as they are. You do want to check if the format and the variables of the message are still the same.
[chanjya] Why localise at translatewiki.net
When you localise at translatewiki.net, your messages will be used in all Wikimedia projects and eventually in all MediaWiki based projects. This is how we provide the standard support for your language. When messages change, at translatewiki.net you will be prompted to revisit your translations. Localising is more efficient because we have innovated the process to make you more efficient; there is text explaining about messages and we have applied AJAX technology to reduce the number of clicks you have to make.
[chanjya] Translatewiki.net update
- Currently 23.13% of the MediaWiki messages and 0.96% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Please help us help your language by localising and proof reading at translatewiki.net. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM 10:45, 30 Gwenngala 2009 (UTC)
- Currently 22.98% of the MediaWiki messages and 1.06% of the messages of the extensions used by the Wikimedia Foundation projects have been localised. Please help us help your language by localising and proof reading at translatewiki.net. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM 12:44, 1 Du 2009 (UTC)
- PS Please help us complete the most wanted messages..
[chanjya] How can we improve the usability for your language
We expect that with the implementation of LocalisationUpdate the usability of MediaWiki for your language will improve. We are now ready to look at other aspects of usability for your language as well. There are two questions we would like you to answer: Are there issues with the new functionality of the Usability Initiative Does MediaWiki support your language properly
The best way to answer the first question is to visit the translatewiki.net. Change the language to your language, select the “vector” skin and add the advanced tool bar in in the preferences and check out the new functionality. And make some changes in your user page. When there is a need to improve on the localisation, please make the necessary changess . It should update your localisation straight away. We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Usability_issues.
When there are problems with the support of MediaWiki for your language, we really want to know about this. It is best to report each issue separately. In this way there will be no large mass of issues to resolve but we can address each issue on its own. Consider issues with the display of characters, the presentation of your script, the position of the side bar, the combination of text with other languages, scripts. It is best to try this in an environment like the prototype wiki as it provides you with a clean, basic and up to date environment. The prototype wiki is available for five languages but you can select any of them, change the preferences to your language and test out MediaWiki for your language.
We would like you to report each issue individually at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_issues. The issues you raise will all be assessed. It is important to keep each issue separate, because this will make it easier to understand the issues and find solutions.
