Date formatting
(Cross-posted at WD:PC as well) How do I localise the date formatting of the "point in time" datatype in other languages? Deryck Chan (talk) 21:59, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
- Your question is quite ambiguous. Could you say when your can see badly localized dates and how they should look like instead? Matěj Suchánek (talk) 12:27, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- This sounds like phab:T63958 to me. - Nikki (talk) 15:53, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
- Well yeah... I've already awarded a token to phab:T63958 8 months ago. I was surprised there isn't any way to localize the default date and time formats for each language. Deryck Chan (talk) 23:02, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

- e.g. Bruce Lee (Q16397) -> date of birth (P569) = "27 11月 1940" in Cantonese. It should be "1940年11月27號". This has made it so far impossible to invoke any Wikidata that involves date in a yue.wp article using the {{#Property:}} syntax which relies on default Wikidata formatting.

There has been added a new feature to the special page, the status. There are six stages: progress, needs-updating, updating, proofreading, ready and published. What are the defenitions of these stages, when do I have to select which stage? Q.Zanden questions? 16:33, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hi QZanden you may find some information on mediawiki.org. Pamputt (talk) 20:41, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

I want to translate some toolpages like QuickStatements, but is this possible? Who do I have to ask for? Q.Zanden questions? 11:28, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Some tools (mostly Magnus') are translatable via ToolTranslate (including the newest version of QuickStatements). You could also find some on translatewiki.net but for the rest you must ask their owners. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 11:41, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you, Matěj Suchánek. Q.Zanden questions? 19:45, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
