Support request with team editing experiment project
Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

- The number of published pages can be seen on the Content Translation stats page.
Since, this is the first time we have installed the tool on this Wikipedia, there are chances that there may be some problems or service disruptions which we are not yet aware of. We will be monitoring the usage to check for any failures or issues, but please do let us know on the Content Translation talk page or through Phabricator if you spot any problems that prevent you from using the tool.

ترجمہ مواد: ایک اہم اطلاع
میڈیاویکی ترقی دہندگان نے کچھ ویکیپیڈیاؤں پر ایک نیا آلہ ترجمہ مواد (ContentTranslation) متعارف کرایا ہے، خوش قسمتی سے ان ویکیپیڈیاؤں میں اردو بھی شامل ہے۔ اس آلہ کی مدد سے کسی بھی زبان کی ویکیپیڈیا سے اردو میں مضمون ترجمہ کرنا آسان ہوجاتا ہے۔ درج بالا انگریزی پیغام میں اس کی مکمل تفصیل موجود ہے، البتہ ایک اہم اطلاع یہ دینا ہے کہ جن صارفین کی ترجیحات میں فوری زمرہ بندی آلہ فعال ہے، وہ اس آزمائشی سہولت سے استفادہ نہیں کرپا رہے ہیں۔ اس لیے براہ کرم اس آلہ فوری زمرہ بندی کی سکرپٹ کو اپڈیٹ کرلیں یا اسے غیر فعال کرکے آلہ ترجمہ مواد استعمال کریں۔ :)

Please join the 2nd edition of the VisualEditor Translathon
Hello!
I'm pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the VisualEditor Translathon.
It is a translation rally, focused on interface messages and help pages related to VisualEditor. In order to participate, you need to sign up on the Translathon page on TranslateWiki.
The top 3 contributors will each win a Wikipedia t-shirt of their choice from the Wikipedia store[1]. Translations made between July 15th and July 19th (CDT time zone) qualify[2].
If you are at Wikimania Mexico this year, you are also welcome to join a related sprint during the hackathon in Workplace 1 - Don Américo, Thursday 16 July at 4pm (CDT) at the conference venue, so you can meet other fellow translators and get support if you need some.
Interface messages have the priority. You will need to create an account at translatewiki.net in order to work on them, if you don't have one. It is recommended to create the account ASAP, so that it can be confirmed in time.
You can also help translate documentation pages about VisualEditor on mediawiki.org. You can use your Wikipedia account to work there.
You will find instructions, links and other details on the Translathon page.
Thanks for your attention, and happy translating!

رائے شماری برائے نام فضا، کتاب
دیگر ویکیپیڈیاؤں پر ایک نام فضا کتاب (Book) موجود ہے، جو ویکیپیڈیا پر موجود مواد کو ہی مختلف موضوعات کے مطابق کتاب کی شکل دیتا ہے۔ جو اسی ویکیپیڈیا پر موجود رہتی ہے اور اسے صارفین ڈانلوڈ کر سکتے ہیں۔ اس طرح اگر اردو ویکیپیڈیا پر بھی نام فضا شروع کیا جائے، اور کچھ موضوعات کے مواد کی کتب بنائیں جائیں اور ان کی تشہیر کی جائے تو اردو ویکیپیڈیا کی جانب اردو دان طبقہ کو متوجہ کیا جا سکتا ہے۔ اس کا بڑا فائدہ یہ بھی ہو گا کہ ایک موضوع کی کتاب بنانے کے لیے اس موضوع کے جملہ مضامین (جن کو کتاب میں شامل کرنا مقصود ہو) کو متعلقہ صارف (جو کتاب بنانا چاہتا ہے) توجہ دے کر پہلے بہتر کرے گا۔ کتب بنانے سے ہم موجود مواد کا بہتر اندازہ کر سکتے ہیں کہ کس کس موضوع پر کتنا اور کس معیار کا مواد لکھا جا چکا ہے۔ اور اس پر مزید کیا کچھ اضافہ کرنا ضروری ہے۔ معاونت:کتاب دیکھیں، اس طرح کوئی بھی صارف موجود مواد کو صرف آلہ کتاب ساز سے منتخب کر کے چند منٹوں میں ایک کتاب بنا سکتا ہے۔--« عبید رضا » 04:13, 16 اگست 2015 (م ع و)

خودکار درستی املا
اردو ویکیپیڈیا کے شعبہ املا کے تحت ایک نئی سہولت (خودکار درستی املا) متعارف کرائی جارہی ہے۔ ویکی خانہ ترمیم (editor) میں جب کوئی صارف کسی غلط املا والے لفظ کو تحریر کرے اور اس کے بعد سپیس دے تو وہ غلط املا فورا درست ہوجائے گا؛ فی الحال اس سہولت کو مزید موثر بنانے کے لیے ایسے الفاظ کی فہرست درکار ہے جو عموما غلط لکھے جاتے ہیں، نیز اس منصوبہ میں مذکورہ طرز کے الفاظ کا مستقل بنیادوں پر اضافہ کرتے رہنا ہوگا۔
مثلا اردو ویکیپیڈیا کے خانہ ترمیم میں یہ الفاظ لکھیں اور سپیس دیں:
- اسلاح
- بھائ
- آزمایشات
ہم لوگ عموماً دوسرے صارفین کی لکھی ہوئی تحریریں دیکھتے ہیں اور املا درست کرتے رہتے ہیں. جب انہیں درست کریں تو فوراً ایسے الفاظ کو مذکورہ بالا منصوبہ میں بھی شامل کردیں.
فی الحال یہ سہولت موبائل میں کام نہیں کر رہی ہے، امید ہے احباب اپنی آراء اور تجاویز پیش کریں گے۔ :)

- بہت اچھے! --طاہر محمود (تبادلۂ خیال • شراکتیں) 12:18, 9 ستمبر 2015 (م ع و)
- میرے خیال میں ہر کسی کو براہ راست املا درستی فہرست میں الفاظ شامل نہیں کرنے چاہیے بلکہ ایک مخصوص صفحہ پر ایسے مجوزہ الفاظ ڈالنے چاہیے جہاں باہمی مشورے اور ان کی تصدیق کے بعد انہیں املا درستی فہرست میں شامل کیا جانا چاہیے۔: --طاہر محمود (تبادلۂ خیال • شراکتیں) 14:02, 9 ستمبر 2015 (م ع و)

Hello
I'm Trizek, community liaison at the WIkimedia Foundation. I'll be your contact concerning Flow. I'm sorry, but I don't write Urdu, so please translate my message.
I note your community consensus on trying Flow. Thank you!
Can you give me the pages where you want to try it? Usually, we create a sandbox page, to try all possible actions and check up the translations (15% done at the moment) and a page to collect feedback (usually Talk Wikipedia:Flow). Flow documentation is available here.
In a second time, we will be able to activate Flow on a community page, with a more important traffic (help desk, village pump... your choice). It will be also possible to activate Flow on your personal talk pages. For the moment, due to the number of missing translations, I recommend to hold on this second phase until you have improved that. Wikimedia Foundation Collaboration team is also working on fixing some bugs on Flow concerning History system, spam issues and moving Topics from one board to an other. Holding it is an advice: you decide what is the best for your wiki on this case! :)
I'll be offline next week, so if you have questions I would answer on week 47. If you really need an answer, please post it on MediaWiki.
I'm really happy to work with you! Trizek (WMF) (تبادلۂ خیال • شراکتیں) 10:10, 6 نومبر 2015 (م ع و)
- Thanks for posting here, I provided these test pages links on mediawiki request page, these are Project talk:Flow and Project talk:Flow/sandbox, Thanks. Muhammad Shuaib (تبادلۂ خیال • شراکتیں) 12:26, 6 نومبر 2015 (م ع و)
- Done! Trizek (WMF) (تبادلۂ خیال • شراکتیں) 12:54, 6 نومبر 2015 (م ع و)

مسودہ نام فضا کی رائے شماری
کچھ عرصہ سے دیکھنے میں آرہا ہے کہ متعدد صارفین اپنے کچھ مضامین ریتخانہ میں لکھتے ہیں اور پھر ان کو مرکزی نام فضا میں منتقل کرتے ہیں. لہذا کیوں نا ہم Draft نام فضا نصب کر لیں، جس کا اردو متبادل مسودہ ہوگا. ذیل میں اپنی آراء سے نوازیں
- مسودہ = Draft
- تبادلۂ خیال مسودہ = Draft talk

تبصرے
- سوال: شعیب بھائی کیا اس نام فضا کو نصب کرنے سے ریتخانہ کا کردار ختم نہیں ہوجائے گا؟ یعنی اگر صارفین مسودہ نام فضا کے تحت مضامین کا مسودہ لکھے نگے تو پھر ریتخانہ کا کیا ہوگا؟ --✿عثمان خان||تبادلہ خیال✿ 14:59, 21 نومبر 2015 (م ع و)
- ریتخانہ میں وہ دوسرا کام کر سکتے ہیں، مثلاً سانچے اور دیگر تجرباتی ترامیم. نیز اگر ایک مضمون ریتخانہ میں پہلے سے موجود ہو اور دوسرے مضمون کا بھی مسودہ تیار کرنا ہو تو پھر مشکل پیش آتی ہے، یا تو ریتخانہ 1 ریتخانہ2 جیسے عناوین سے صفحات بنائے جائیں یا پھر پہلے سے موجود مضمون کے نیچے درج کریں جو نامناسب سا معلوم ہوتا ہے. ان مسائل کا بہتر حل مسودہ نام فضا معلوم ہوتی ہے.

- سوال: مسودہ (Draft)، مضمون کی صورت کب اور کیسے اختیار کرے گا--Drcenjary (تبادلۂ خیال • شراکتیں) 01:21, 22 نومبر 2015 (م ع و)
- جب اسے لکھنے والا صارف اپنے مسودہ کو مرکزی نام فضا میں منتقل کر دے گا.
