Hello.What the benefit of the existence of this empty group?Thank you ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 14:03, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

It contains discouraged translations, see the (pretty hidden) Special:AggregateGroups. Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 14:25, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

@Sjoerddebruin:What caused the discouragement?It is useful to translate these pages.Thank you ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 15:08, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

It was an experiment, but the results weren't successful. They are marked as discouraged to avoid wasting time of translators. Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 15:10, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

@Sjoerddebruin:Thanks for your reply. Please fix it to translate these pages.Thank you ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 15:13, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

These shouldn't be translated. Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 15:14, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

What should be fixed? Matěj Suchánek (talk) 15:51, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

@Matěj Suchánek: Results that were not successful.But "Sjoerddebruin" says "These shouldn't be translated" ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 08:41, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Why should we put our efforts to a three years dead experiment? Matěj Suchánek (talk) 09:02, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

• In the past, many weekly updates were translated into French and added to fr:Discussion Projet:Wikidata. It might have led to quite a lot of French speaking users participating in Wikidata and frwiki making use of Wikidata .. hard to say.

Suggested pages for translation

Hello.I suggest making these pages translatable:

1. Wikidata:Deceased editors
2. Template:Admin

    Comment Template:Admin has no content, it only wraps Template:User. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 14:16, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

3. Template:User sandbox

    Comment It has some translations but doesn't use Translate extension. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 14:16, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

4. Template:Documentation

    Not done You can reach many translations in subpages. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 14:16, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

5. Template:Pp-template
6. Template:Protected
7. Tags

    Not done Each can be translated by creating the subpage by an administrator. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 14:16, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

8. MediaWiki:Revertpage (This summary appears in English)

    Not done Translating won't work since the summary is inserted to the database as-is, in the default language. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 14:16, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 08:27, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

meta:Requests for comment/Global translation administrators

Ji, FYI someone opens an RFC to allow global translation administrator status. You can have a look and give your opinion here. Pamputt (talk) 12:52, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

• I suppose it's to grant the right to users who otherwise rarely participate at Wikidata. For other global rights, I think wikis need to opt in. It's not clear where this is determined in this RFC.
