Your feedback is needed - Improving the Content Translation tool

Hello Friend,

Apologies as this message is not in your native language.

The WMF language team is reaching out to you based on your position as an admin in the Zulu Wikipedia. In particular, we want to learn about your experience, the issues you encounter with articles created with Content translation.

We appreciate the great work you are doing in Zulu Wikipedia to ensure standard and quality articles are not compromised. However, it is a big task to encounter content that is not standard daily, and a difficult decision to delete them because they fall below standard.

Our observations

We noticed that articles created with the Content Translation tool in your wiki are deleted more frequently than in other Wikipedias. We say this because, from our statistics, 5157 articles were added to Zulu Wikipedia in 2020. Out of the above figure, only 11 of them were translated using the Content Translation tool; 6 of the articles added with Content translation were deleted. Therefore, the deletion rate and the tool's low usage signals a problem or deficiencies peculiar to your Wikipedia. The Content Translation tool can increase content creation in your Wikipedia and is an excellent way to efficiently introduce newcomers to adding content and expand on existing ones.

Our request

So, we want you to participate in a survey. The survey will give us insight into how we can improve the tool to get quality articles and reduce the number of deletion, hence making your work easier.

Please follow this link to the Survey:

Take the Survey
To know how the information collected from the survey will be used, please read the Privacy Statement.

If you are not comfortable with taking the survey, that is fine. You can still provide us with feedback in this thread or via email on the following questions:

• What makes the articles created with content translation fall below standard in your Wikipedia?
• What are the common mistakes that editors that use content translation make?
• How do you think we can improve the  Content Translation tool that will help you with your work or make your task easier and reduce deletion of articles in Zulu Wikipedia?

So please, feel free to give us feedback in any way that is most convenient for you.

Thank you so much, as we look forward to your response

Ngicela ukubonga nokungisiza ukushintsha igama kuphumelelile.Ngiyabonga. Philane46 (talk) 18:01, 29 uNtulikazi 2021 (UTC)

@Philane46: kuyajabulisa ukuzwa lokho, ngicela uqhubeke nokusiza ekukhuliseni i-wikipedia yesizulu, muhle kakhulu umsebenzi wakho. Ngibonge, 3atbulletz (talk) 13:42, 30 uNtulikazi 2021 (UTC)

Ngizoqhubeka,Bengibheka abanikeli bewikipedia yesiZulu ngathol'ukuthi nginikele ukudlula wonke umuntu. Philane46 (talk) 15:07, 30 uNtulikazi 2021 (UTC)

Ukwenza ama infobox-template

Ngibingelele,bengisacela ukubuza ukuthi ingabe amaInfobox uwenza njani ukuthi usebenze ngoba ngenzile awami kodwa ayala ukusebenza Philane46 (talk) 15:10, 30 uNtulikazi 2021 (UTC)

@Philane46: akulula neze ukwakha ama-infobox, adinga ulwazi ulunzulu futhi athatha isikhathi. Lama infobox akhona kule-wikipedia yesizulu (yisho esebenza) anezinkinga eziningi futhi adinga ukulungiswa ngoba amanye awo anama-parameters abhalwe ngesingisi. Into wena ongayenza ukuwathutha kwi-wikipedia yesingisi uwalethe kwi-wikipedia yesizulu. Kodwa nalokho kubuye kube yinkinga ngoba abuye angasebenzi kahle...okunye, okumele ukugade ukuthi uma uthutha i-infobox kwi-wikipedia yesingisi kumele ukuveze ukuthi uyithathe kwi-wikipedia yesingisi (lokhu ungakubhala kwi-summary) ngoba uma ungakuvezi kungenzeka ivinjelwe i-account yakho ekuhleneni i-wikipedia. Okunye okumele ukugade ukuthi lethuluzi elibizwa nge-content translation alikwazi uku-translate ama infobox isikhathi esiningi. Ngezansi ngikwenzele indlela elula kakhulu yokwakha i-infobox noma into ecishe ifane nayo. Into enhle ngalendlela ukuthi ungayisebenzisa kunoma yisiphi isihloko, kumele ushintshe imininingwane nje kuphela futhi ukwazi nokuzifakela awakho ama-parameters.

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)
