Regarding your revert on mrwikisource
- Thanks for patrolling pages from mrwikisource, I saw that you reverted s:mr:Special:Diff/66093 this edit. And your edit summary was please use the sandbox.
- But I don't see any problem in that edit, nor I see any problems in other edits by the same user.
- They are relatively new and new users might get offended because of such summaries, some of them might not even understand, why their edit was reverted. No issues now as User:सुबोध कुलकर्णी, already reverted it back.
- I request you to check after revert and this is something I learned from my own mistakes. So I thought I should share it with you. You can drop a message on my talkpage if you are confuse/not sure about any devnagari wiki issues. I would love to help you, usually I am online often so you might get reply in less than 24hours. thanks and regards. QueerEcofeminist "cite! even if you fight"!!!

Thank you very much for the advice. Users like you are very helpful. Hope this kind of helps and advices will give in future also. Thank you.--Path slopu (talk) 15:59, 29 April 2020 (UTC) Reply

Hi, careful to prepare for the text translation of a widely used template. When reporting a template for translation, you must then edit all pages where it is included by replacing {{ABC}} with {{TNT|ABC}} or else problems will occur and the translated text will not be displayed. For this reason it is better in these cases to move the text to be translated to a subpage as I did with the Template:Engine (Template:Engine/translatable). --Samuele2002 (Talk!) 19:20, 22 July 2020 (UTC) Reply
- @Samuele2002:Hi greetings, thank you so much for the help. I will do as you recommended in my future edits. Thank you for creating the subpage. Thanks a lot. Regards.--Path slopu (talk) 08:57, 23 July 2020 (UTC) Reply

- @-revi: Hi greetings, I only tried to increase the language versions. There are many translators of several regional languages who haven't subscribed Translators I. So I thought the notification will help to reach them. If I made a mistake, I'm apologising. I won't do it again, if it was wrong. Thank you. --Path slopu (talk) 10:06, 31 July 2020 (UTC) Reply
- It was not to imply you did something wrong: TAs usually don't send out translation notifications (TN) for Tech News (They are advertised on the translators-l mailing list) so I was wondering why it had to be sent as on-wiki talk messages. I think interested parties can get notifications on translators-l mailing list, so I think TN can be skipped (or ask John (WMF) to make a new opt-in for on-wiki talk notifications)? I certainly didn't subscribe to TN to get weekly Tech News alerts. (One-Time nudge is probably fine though) — regards, Revi 10:09, 31 July 2020 (UTC) Reply

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2020-32
The winner this Translation of the week is en:Child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Please be bold and help to translation this article! During the first and second civil conflicts which took place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), all sides involved in the war actively recruited child soldiers, known locally as Kadogos which is a Swahili term meaning "little ones". It has been estimated that the militia led by Thomas Lubanga Dyilo was 30 percent children. In 2011 30,000 children were still operating with armed groups. The United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), released a report in 2013 which stated that between 1 January 2012 and 31 August 2013 up to 1,000 children had been recruited by armed groups, and described the recruitment of child soldiers as "endemic".

Invitation to affiliate members to complete a survey about WMF wide Universal Code of Conduct
Hello; My name is Mervat, and I am helping the Trust and Safety team to reach out to affiliates in order to discuss the Universal Code of Conduct. I am contacting you as you are a member of the Wikimedians for Sustainable Development User Group. If you have received this from other user groups/chapters, you can ignore.
There has been talks about the need for a global set of conduct rules in different communities over time, and finally, Wikimedia Foundation Board announced a Community Culture Statement, enacting new standards to address harassment and promote inclusivity across projects.Since the universal code of conduct that will be a binding minimum set of standards across all Wikimedia projects, will apply to all of us, staff and volunteers alike, all around the globe, and will impact our work as groups, individuals and projects, it’s of great importance that we all participate in expressing our opinions and thoughts about UCoC, its nature, what we think it should cover or include and what it shouldn’t include; how it may develop, drawback or help our groups. This is the time to talk about it. As you are a valuable contributor to the Wikimedia movement, your voice counts. Before starting to draft the code of conduct, we would like to hear from you; We invite you to devote some minutes to take this survey; your answers will help us create a safer environment for all on Wikimedia:
It’s possible that you are a member of more than one affiliate; hence you may receive this survey more than once, and you may have participated previously in the discussions or filled out a previous survey during the first round of consultations about UCoC which targeted wikipedia/wikimedia communities. We apologize for this; it is really difficult to identify if a wikimedian belongs to multiple groups that work to spread free knowledge. Looking forward to your thoughts and opinions and hoping that you can respond within the next 2 weeks. If you have any questions about the surveys or difficulties accessing the link, please contact me by email (msalman-ctr@wikimedia.org)Results will be considered during the drafting process for the UCoC. Thank you for your participation.

Tech News
Hi! I just wanted to thank you for your work on Tech News and your translations. It helps, and thank you for being part of letting the communities know. (:
(By the way, it's not obvious, but we're trying not to create the new Tech News issues weeks ahead of time. Sometimes we change things in Tech/News/init and if that comes after a page for a week has been created but weeks before it's sent out, there's a lot of double work. The new issue isn't created until needed by design.) /Johan (WMF) (talk) 13:22, 20 August 2020 (UTC) Reply
- @Johan (WMF): Thank you so much for your advice. I apologise for creating too many new week issues. I only tried to help the community, but I did not think it would harm other works. Sorry. I will remember this in my future edits. Hope you'll help in future also. Also, thank you so much for your hard works. Thank you.--Path slopu (talk) 16:48, 20 August 2020 (UTC) Reply
- No worries, you were trying to help and it's not obvious until it's been explained. /Johan (WMF) (talk) 15:09, 21 August 2020 (UTC) Reply

Reply tool
The Reply tool has been available as a Beta Feature at the Arabic, Dutch, French and Hungarian Wikipedias since 31 March 2020. The first analysis showed positive results.
- More than 300 editors used the Reply tool at these four Wikipedias. They posted more than 7,400 replies during the study period.
- Of the people who posted a comment with the Reply tool, about 70% of them used the tool multiple times. About 60% of them used it on multiple days.
- Comments from Wikipedia editors are positive. One said, أعتقد أن الأداة تقدم فائدة ملحوظة؛ فهي تختصر الوقت لتقديم رد بدلًا من التنقل بالفأرة إلى وصلة تعديل القسم أو الصفحة، التي تكون بعيدة عن التعليق الأخير في الغالب، ويصل المساهم لصندوق التعديل بسرعة باستخدام الأداة. ("I think the tool has a significant impact; it saves time to reply while the classic way is to move with a mouse to the Edit link to edit the section or the page which is generally far away from the comment. And the user reaches to the edit box so quickly to use the Reply tool.")[1]
The Editing team released the Reply tool as a Beta Feature at eight other Wikipedias in early August. Those Wikipedias are in the Chinese, Czech, Georgian, Serbian, Sorani Kurdish, Swedish, Catalan, and Korean languages. If you would like to use the Reply tool at your wiki, please tell User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF).
The Reply tool is still in active development. Per request from the Dutch Wikipedia and other editors, you will be able to customize the edit summary. (The default edit summary is "Reply".) A "ping" feature is available in the Reply tool's visual editing mode. This feature searches for usernames. Per request from the Arabic Wikipedia, each wiki will be able to set its own preferred symbol for pinging editors. Per request from editors at the Japanese and Hungarian Wikipedias, each wiki can define a preferred signature prefix in the page MediaWiki:Discussiontools-signature-prefix. For example, some languages omit spaces before signatures. Other communities want to add a dash or a non-breaking space.
New requirements for user signatures
- The new requirements for custom user signatures began on 6 July 2020. If you try to create a custom signature that does not meet the requirements, you will get an error message.
- Existing custom signatures that do not meet the new requirements will be unaffected temporarily. Eventually, all custom signatures will need to meet the new requirements. You can check your signature and see lists of active editors whose custom signatures need to be corrected. Volunteers have been contacting editors who need to change their custom signatures. If you need to change your custom signature, then please read the help page.
Next: New discussion tool
Next, the team will be working on a tool for quickly and easily starting a new discussion section to a talk page. To follow the development of this new tool, please put the New Discussion Tool project page on your watchlist.

Reply tool
The Reply tool is available at most Wikipedias.
- The Reply tool has been deployed as an opt-out preference to all editors at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
- It is also available as a Beta Feature at almost all Wikipedias except for the English, Russian, and German-language Wikipedias. If it is not available at your wiki, you can request it by following these simple instructions.
Research notes:
- As of January 2021, more than 3,500 editors have used the Reply tool to post about 70,000 comments.
- We have preliminary data from the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedia on the Reply tool. Junior Contributors who use the Reply tool are more likely to publish the comments they start writing than those who use full-page wikitext editing.[2]
- The Editing and Parsing teams have significantly reduced the number of edits that affect other parts of the page. About 0.3% of edits did this during the last month.[3] Some of the remaining changes are automatic corrections for Special:LintErrors.
- A large A/B test will start soon.[4] This is part of the process to offer the Reply tool to everyone. During this test, half of all editors at 24 Wikipedias will have the Reply tool automatically enabled, and half will not. You can still turn it on or off for your own account in Special:Preferences.
New discussion tool
The new tool for starting new discussions (new sections) will join the Discussion tools in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures at the end of January. You can try the tool for yourself.[5] You can leave feedback in this thread or on the talk page.
Next: Notifications
During Talk pages consultation 2019, editors said that it should be easier to know about new activity in conversations they are interested in. The Notifications project is just beginning. What would help you become aware of new comments? What's working with the current system? Which pages at your wiki should the team look at? Please post your advice at notifications-talk.
