This Wikimedian opposes rebranding the WMF as Wikipedia.

This user opposes the Wikimedia Foundation's arbitrary, opaque, and dictatorial office-banning of administrators when the community and ArbCom are more than capable of handling the issue themselves.

Template:Character info?

Do you have a plan for {{Character info}}? Templates that are not transcluded anywhere are typically deleted. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:29, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unarchiving village pump discussion

Hello. Is it possible for you to unarchive Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 189#Spongebob Squarepants is now freely licensed!? We are still awaiting a response from Nickelodeon from WMF Legal. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 20:36, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spongebob licensing discussion

Hi Alexis Jazz, I saw you moved the Spongebob licensing discussion to an RfC page. If I'm reading it correctly, it's not a live RfC yet. I wanted to let you know that my colleague posted an update at the end of the discussion. Cheers, BChoo (WMF) (talk) 19:04, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BChoo, thanks! The reason I did that was because the discussion had been automatically archived. Having long discussion threads for a long period of time on the village pumps is kind of discouraged as it makes them more difficult to navigate/load, so I unarchived it to its own page.
It's not strictly an RfC, but every other discussion that was split off to its own subpage seemingly became an RfC, so I followed the naming pattern. Too bad Nick didn't reply, but I can guess why.. Sending a reply would sort of acknowledge their mistake. At least they took action. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:34, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Hi @Alexis Jazz: May I know what tool are you talking about here? I'm sorry to have not noticed because it appears the given page has been disrupted a lot. Best regards, ─ Aafī (talk) 14:05, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TheAafi, the tool in question is now named Factotum. (formerly known as Bawl) At the time I mentioned it because mw:Extension:DiscussionTools was not working properly on Urdu Wikipedia while Factotum offers similar functionality. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 15:50, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexis Jazz: I don't think DT works fine on Urdu Wikipedia. Is there a way to localise your tool? Responding on talk pages is a very complex task on Urdu Wikipedia. I mean, everytime, I have to open the source-editor and type the response. I'd want to provide Urdu translations to your tool if I know how it works. Best regards, ─ Aafī (talk) 19:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TheAafi, there is! See User:Alexis Jazz/Factotum/Mumbo jumbo#Translations. In short, search User:Alexis Jazz/Factotum-extra.js for FTT.msgsObj.qqq and copy that section to a place you can edit. The next section begins at "FTT.msgsObj.nl" for the Dutch (NL/NederLands) translation.
Translate the entries (translate only the part after the colon) and I'll add it. Don't translate entries that start with "DUPLICATE:". They automatically copy the content from another entry for technical reasons. Most words that are in all caps shouldn't be translated either. For example "USER" gets replaced with a username. But don't worry too much about that, I'll check it to be sure.
A partial translation is also welcome. The translations for the most basic elements of the interface are automatically imported from MediaWiki. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 20:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexis Jazz: On it. Please see this. Some other friends from ur-wiki are contributing with the translation. ─ Aafī (talk) 13:20, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TheAafi, great! Since you're doing it off-wiki (I'm not sure why?), can everyone who contributes state somewhere on-wiki the license that applies? The original is public domain (use e.g. CC0 for public domain), but CC BY(-SA) 3.0 or higher also works. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 19:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. This should appear on User:TheAafi/Factotum Urdu. ─ Aafī (talk) 11:00, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexis Jazz: Just pinging to ask if you got some free time to include this translation package in the script? ─ Aafī (talk) 09:51, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TheAafi,
