Descriptions needed

For this task, please provide album item descriptions in languages you known for pattern "album by *artist/band*", if they are not already present here. --XXN, 10:58, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

In Finnish not possible, as some would be "Mariah Careyn albumi" and some "Enrique Iglesiasin albumi" and so on. Of course the description could be "albumi esittäjältä Mariah Carey", but it sounds not so good. Stryn (talk) 11:03, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

In italian for single artist (P31=Q5) is possible if exist an italian label, but not possible if the name was traslittered from not latin language, for group is more complex depend by the initial of the name and exist the same problem for traslitteration. --ValterVB (talk) 15:26, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Group descriptions

Hello.Why is not there "Group descriptions" like translatewiki.net?Thank you ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 10:27, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

There are groups, as seen on Special:LanguageStats. Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 10:45, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

@Sjoerddebruin:I mean the text that appears at the top of the translation page (Instead of autoText "Translation of the wiki page $1 from $3 ($4).").Thank you ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 18:25, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Seems it's only used on translatewiki. Stryn (talk) 18:32, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Property translatable help pages

I tried to order the property translatable help pages, now there are a couple of pages which need translation administrator attention. In order to make sure that the new structure actually works as intended, I request Help:P2091 to be marked for translation in its current state. I will later add the changes to all other property translatable help pages and show up here again. Thanks, MisterSynergy (talk) 10:02, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

All work is done here, thus marking resolved. —MisterSynergy (talk) 06:59, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Suggested news

Hello.Please add this news to Wikidata:News with make it translatable:"2017-06-12: "Wikidata reaches to 500,000,000 edits.It is the first Wikimedia project to reach this number.".Thank you ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 06:49, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

enwiki is at around 770M edits. However, our edit rate is twice as high as theirs, so we may overtake them at some point in the future. Edit #500M at Wikidata is likely going to happen today. —MisterSynergy (talk) 06:57, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

On hold You made me insert two lies into WD:News, I can't trust you anymore. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 07:01, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Wikidata:Wiktionary/Sitelinks - notify translators

Wondering if you could send a translation notification for Wikidata:Wiktionary/Sitelinks? I think it is a rather important move and we can benefit from translations that will help smaller projects to get used to the new system. Thanks, — MarcoAurelio (talk) 17:15, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Where is it possible to translate "Constraints" on the property page?

Hi! It seems that there is a new section within the property pages: "Constraints". See for example category for pictures taken with equipment (P2033). For now it does not appear in French. Do you know where I could translate this? Pamputt (talk) 06:47, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

I can't see it on the page. {{Int constraints}} has some translations. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 07:39, 18 June 2017 (UTC) Now I can. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 08:15, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

It's MediaWiki:Wikibase-statementsection-constraints, which can be translated on translatewiki. For French that would be https://translatewiki.net/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikibase-statementsection-constraints/fr. Mbch331 (talk) 07:45, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
