Request for moving (renaming) Help:Editing

Hello, I was wondering if someone might be able to assist me - I'm hoping to rename Help:Editing as "Help:Items" as the page in question is essentially on items/item pages, not editing. The new name also fits better with the rest of our Help pages, for example Help:Label, Help:Aliases, Help:Properties, etc. Please let me know if you need any other information for this request. If it is a complicated move (given all the translations of the page), it's not extraordinarily important, but if it could be done I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks. -Thepwnco (talk) 23:18, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Rename that page is possible. Please, put a note in its talk page, if in a week none will oppose, a translator admin will perform the move.
In a traducible page, please use {{Ll}} and {{Glossary}}, thanks. --β16 - (talk) 09:09, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
@Beta16: Thanks, I have now posted a note to the talk page. Thepwnco (talk) 17:25, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
You might use a redirect Help:Items pointing to Help:Editing instead of renaming the page.
Another issue: the last sentence is not marked for translation.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 10:09, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
@Beta16, Giftzwerg 88: Hello - there were no objections after a week so I have now added a redirect to Help:Items. However, I am not sure how now to proceed in terms of mapping the page to the other language versions of Help:Editing. Please let me know if I should remove the redirect and if a move is preferable for this process. Thanks. -Thepwnco (talk) 16:40, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
  Moved correctly with translations intact. John F. Lewis (talk) 16:52, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Template:Help links

This template is linked to many help pages in the see also section. However it is not multilingual because the description of the links appear only in English. What we need is a multilingual template but I do not feel confident enough to modify this template. --Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 10:43, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Translation/display of a calendar date in Wikidata

Hi,
first I'm not sure if I'm in the right place here, but I'll try: The text string when displaying a calendar date in the German language is wrong on Wikidata. For example see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q41421?setlang=de, there "Geburtsdatum" (birth date) says "17 Februar 1963". There should be a dot after the day in German language, so it should be "17. Februar 1963". --Bthfan (talk) 20:31, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Your Question is moved to Wikidata:Paper cuts for the developers to take care of.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 00:46, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Translation of an RfC

I'm both seeking translators for this very long RfC, and feedback on my implementation of translation here.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:23, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
