The domain of the email address in {{WIKI loves parliaments/European Parliament 2014}} appears to be inactive; the email address in {{Wiki loves parliaments/Parteitag CDU 2015}} is of a user who is globally locked. There are other templates in the same family. With what email address should they be updated, and does it need someone with translation-editor rights to do so?

@Pigsonthewing: TA rights aren't needed in this case. Neither of the templates are protected, so you should be able to make the edit. _signed, Aafi ^(talk) 00:19, 18 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I couldn't find any beneficial email-address, but the website at wikilovesparliaments.org seems like a fishbowl-wiki; nothing accessible without registration. Once again something that's out of the purview of Commons' admins. My personal thoughts are that the mention of email would be redundant, people could always ask at Help Desks about how to use. _signed, Aafi ^(talk) 00:25, 18 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I'd just remove them. Bedivere (talk) 00:50, 18 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I've replaced the email link on the first template above with a link to the help desk. Because of the nested sub-templates and translations, I cannot do so on the second (and have not tried any others). It needs someone more familiar with such markup to do so. (since the "purview of Commons' admins" was mentioned, I'll explain that the reason I asked here first was the sensitivities around a global locked account).

I tried but it seems to need some more time. @Matrix: could you check with {{Wiki loves parliaments/base/layout}} and {{Wiki loves parliaments/base}} and make sure it displays the usage guidelines on {{Wiki loves parliaments/Parteitag CDU 2015}}. I don't know what I missed. _signed, Aafi ^(talk) 14:28, 18 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@TheAafi: I'm a bit confused on what is happening. Do you want to replace the email link with a link to the help desk? In that case the contact parameter could just be a simply yes/no switch. —Matrix(!) _{ping one}^{when replying} {user - talk? - _{(削除) useless (削除ここまで)}contributions } 20:11, 18 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@Matrix, you get it right. Email parameter needs to be changed. Link to Help desk should suffice. ─ Aafī on Mobile ^(talk) 21:27, 18 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Ok ✓ Done now I'll just need to synchronise the translations. —Matrix(!) _{ping one}^{when replying} {user - talk? - _{(削除) useless (削除ここまで)}contributions } 18:45, 19 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@Stepro and Raymond: Could you please translate the bottom message at both Template:Wiki loves parliaments/base2/layout and Template:Wiki loves parliaments/base/layout? It's the same message. —Matrix(!) _{ping one}^{when replying} {user - talk? - _{(削除) useless (削除ここまで)}contributions } 18:52, 19 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

The changes destroyed the intended use of several templates. I have therefore reverted the changes. Please contact the parties involved before making such changes.

Reasons:

• the changes created a blue font on a blue background, which is almost unreadable
• the email addresses at least in the templates Template:Wiki loves parliaments/Bundestag 2014, Template:Wiki loves parliaments/Landtag Brandenburg 2016, Template:Wiki loves parliaments/Thüringer Landtag 2016 and Template:Wiki loves parliaments/Landtag von Sachsen-Anhalt 2018 refer to the email address landtagsprojekt@wikipedia.de, which is absolutely reputable, belongs to WMDE, and is read by me, among others.

If the other templates need a change (in the case of O. K. certainly makes sense), please change them directly, without collateral damage. Stepro (talk) 19:02, 19 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@Stepro: ok I replaced it with an email=none parameter and stopped the blue on blue font by changing the background. Could you please do the translation per above? —Matrix(!) _{ping one}^{when replying} {user - talk? - _{(削除) useless (削除ここまで)}contributions } 13:25, 22 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I hope I've done it right. I'm not very familiar with templates with nested programming. Stepro (talk) 22:41, 23 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi. This deletion request is currently in a stalemate. Is an admin able to check if COM:VRT received any submission from the uploader? If not, it's been over 2 months and a final decision should be made. Thanks. DaHuzyBru (talk) 10:46, 21 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@DaHuzyBru: Taivo deleted the file and closed the request. -- Auntof6 (talk) 12:37, 21 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Mikhail2710 (talk  · contribs) All of his files are uploaded from web despite claiming "own work" and were deleted a few times already, so probably he needs to be blocked. Well very well (talk) 06:12, 22 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

✓ Done. I blocked him for a week and mass deleted all uploads as copyvios. Taivo (talk) 11:37, 22 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I tried to create Hebrew subtitles for the file "Korean Air Flight 801 crash, Guam air traffic control recording (August 1997).oga", but it wouldn't let me and it said that if this is an error, contact the system operator. This text is translated because I'm not very good at English. Here are the subtitles I tried to create:

גישה, אגנה. קוריאן אייר חזר אליך?
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
801?
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:26,000
חיובי.
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:25,000
קוריאן אייר 801, גואם.
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
לא?
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:21,000
הוא יצר איתי קשר, אישרתי לו לנחות.
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,000
אני לא יודע איפה הוא, אף פעם לא ראיתי אותו.
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
אף פעם לא ראית אותו?
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:15,000
שלילי!
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:14,000
הוא לא נחת?
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,000
שלילי!
00:00:11,00 --> 00:00:11,00
אוי, אלוהים.
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:09,000
אין לי אותו.
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
הוא קרא לי פעם אחת; אישרתי לו לנחות. אמרתי לו שהוא לא נראה באופק.
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000
אין לי אותו.
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:03,000
ובכן, הוא בטח התרסק אז.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000

@תעופה בחקירה: what is the administrative issue here? - Jmabel ! talk 00:31, 26 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Update: I probably did something wrong, this is my first time doing this. It worked out for now. Thanks anyway! תעופה בחקירה (talk) 04:50, 26 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@Jmabel: Special:AbuseFilter/103 was felt to be too precise, insisting on numbers and blank lines for compliance with MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-invalid-timed-text and en:SubRip, and the user posted here instead of COM:FILTERT.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 17:43, 26 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
