Finns på translatewiki:Support/Documentation_review

One of Wikimedia Sverige's (WMSE) projects is aimed at increasing the participation in, and use of, translatewiki.net. As part of this we have made an inventory of the existing documentation on translatewiki.net. The reason for doing this, and for bringing it up here, is that we believe an overview will make it easier to focus efforts on improving the documentation and making it easier for new translators to join.

As part of this we have tried to give each page a weight. Based on the weight we will then start the work of improving the page in different ways. E.g. with more detailed descriptions, with images and videos etc. and with translations into Swedish. We will start with the page with the highest weight and work down the list. The community is of course invited to give feedback and/or make changes during this process.


The weighting reflects how important WMSE believes a page is to enable someone, with no prior knowledge of how translatewiki.net functions, to start translating and become an active member of the community. We welcome others to add their own weightings according to the same criteria.

The comments in the "comment" column reflect the initial thoughts when we read through the page and identifying the topic. They are in no way absolute so if you disagree or have other suggestions for improvement these are very welcome, although it's probably easiest to bring these up as a thread on the talk page instead.

# Page Topic Comment Translatable (Y/N) Vikt (för nybörjare) [betyg 1-5, per person] Vikt total Vad behöver fixas
1 translatewiki:Support Equivalent to Village Pump 1) Intro is not translatable. 2) A bit more about what the page is for would be good. 3) The archive link ("show archives") has not been updated since 2009. N A:4 - central sida

S:

J:4

2 translatewiki:Translating:Intro About L10n in general and TW in particular. 1) Could be updated in sub-sections to make it more attractive. 2) Add an illustration. Y A:3

S:3

J:4

3 translatewiki:Translating:How_to_start Intro to new translators 1) Very short, does not explain new Sandboxing approach. 2) Mixture of guidance since it both looks at new translators in general and the first translators for MediaWiki in a specific language. Could the latter be moved elsewhere? 3) Contains links to decommissioned translation group.

4) Each bullet should have more explanations to make it easier to grasp for a beginner.

4 translatewiki:Translating:Translatable Explains what is translatable in Mediawiki English page is a redirect to translatewiki:Localisation guidelines. Some of the language subpages are still live. - 0 Omdirigera till translatewiki:Localisation guidelines/sv (som måste skapas)
5 translatewiki:Translating:Process Describes how to add a new language, where what is translated (largely MediaWiki) and how translations go live. 1) Might be better to break up/regroup. Adding a new language is similar to adding a new project, some of the “How to start” information about MediaWiki in a new language could also be moved to such a page. 2) An intro is needed, explaining the purpose and structure of the page. N A:4

S:3

J:4 - Viktig för utvecklare

6 translatewiki:Translating:Statistics Various TW statistics 1) Unclear structure. 2) Some central links seem to be missing. 3) There is not really any numbers on the page or explanations about them. Would be valuable to keep in order so that it is easier to get numbers for presentations, external communication etc. Y A:1

7 translatewiki:Translating:Group_statistics Automatically updated translation statistics for various groups 1) Intro is not translatable. 2) References various decommissioned groups. Essentially translatewiki:Special:MessageGroupStats for a few select groups. 3) There is no introduction or explanations of the columns N A:1

Idéer

  • Skapa en faddersida för att få till mer kommunikation och ha en plats för nybörjare att ställa frågor?
  • Det saknas övningar och steg-för-steg-instruktioner liknande dessa: sv:Wikipedia:Övningar samt sv:Wikipedia:Introduktion. Jag tänker att det bör skapas och att vi där lägger till videofilmerna.
  • Var sida bör inledas med "in a nutshell"-mall som förklarar vad den handlar om och vem den riktar sig mot
  • Introducera museummärkning för att göra sig av med gamla
