An editor has requested the community to provide input on "Adopt metawiki policy for translation administrators" via the Requests for comment (RFC) process. This is the discussion page regarding the issue.

If you have an opinion regarding this issue, feel free to comment below. Thank you!


THIS RFC IS CLOSED. Please do NOT vote nor add comments.

In my opinion, the current translation admin approval system is not the best. I think it is unnecessary to wait 5 days before a request can be approved and that a vote is required. Thus, I propose to adopt the metawiki approval procedure.

The metawiki policy is identical to our policy (m:Meta:Translation administrators), it just has some differences relating to the approval procedure. The section on m:Meta:RfA says: 

Translation administrator: please read Meta:Translation administrator and
Meta:Translate extension. No fixed time limit for these requests is defined,
and there are no particular requirements; if you provide a valid reason
your request will be granted.

  2. If and only if we have bureaucrats when this RFC closes. --Rschen7754 17:26, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    To clarify, that qualification is because the whole thing falls apart if we don't have bureaucrats. But I'm pretty sure we will. --Rschen7754 21:24, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
