Hello all,
Community Tech will be deploying the Edit Recovery feature (previously
proposed as the Auto-save feature in 2023 Community Wishlist Survey).
Kindly assist me with translations into French and Arabic for the
deployment announcement
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Announcements/Edit_Recovery_…>
I
have drafted on Meta. The text is about 115 words.
Thank you.
Best regards,

Dear volunteer translators,
This is your periodic invitation to participate in translating course
materials on the WikiLearn platform
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiLearn>[1]. WikiLearn is an online
learning platform run by the Community Development team at the Wikimedia
Foundation.
There are *five* courses available for translation at the moment:
- *Introduction to WikiLearn*
- *Speaker Series Guidebook*
- *Introduction to Partnership Building*
-
*Assess your digital security risks *
- *Organizer Lab V2* - designing campaigns and other Topics for Impact
projects
And several languages to translate into. If you would like to translate one
of these courses into a language not enabled yet, just reply here and I'll
set it up quickly!
There is a lot of material in each course, because all the videos are
subtitled! It would probably take multiple volunteer translators to get any
course translated, although we have a couple of examples of completed
courses translated by a single person.
All the information, including current progress, is available at this
dashboard <https://studio.learn.wiki/meta_translations/discover_courses/>[2].
The translation is done via Meta, as usual.
If you do decide to help and run into any questions, don't hesitate to drop
me a line!
Cheers,
Asaf

Subject: Permalinks for talk pages will be deployed on Monday
To: Wikitech Ambassadors <wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello
Starting on Monday, a change will be visible on talk pages or pages where
discussions happen: the Editing team will deploy talk page permalinks.
In short, any comment posted on a talk page will get a unique
identifier, the permalink, stored in a database. It will make it possible
to find a comment, even if it was moved elsewhere.
The main visible changes are:
- The timestamp becomes a link. You get the permalink by clicking or
taping on the timestamp attached to the comment.
- If you click on any link to a comment, and this comment was moved
elsewhere (for instance for achieving), you get a message with a link to
the comment
- When you are directed to a given comment, this cimment is highlighted,
and the URL contains the unique ID for this message.
You can learn more about how this feature works at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:DiscussionTools#Talk_pages_permalinking
.
Translations for the documentation are welcomed:
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Translate&group=page-Gr…
All comments, even the older ones, will get a permalink, as far as they
have a proper signature.
This change will not be available on English Wikipedia for the moment, as
the database is not filled yet.
It is available on Desktop and Mobile view, but not on the iOS and Android
apps.
It will not affect talk pages using StructuredDiscussions/Flow and
LiquidThreads.
This change will be publicized in Tech News and on the Diff. Please share
it with your community!
All the best,
Benoît
