Hello, Thanks. That link is not very easy to find. Translatewiki does not for instance give you that result when you search for MediaWiki:Gettingstarted. Could this be something for the MediaWiki site to link to the appropriate Translatewiki place for people who are nerdy enough to want to translate MediaWiki messages but not tech savvy enough to find it? Perhaps in the infobox?

If you start typing "Getting Started" there you should find the right subgroup Useful tip in general although I agree that finding the relevant translatewikigroup (via link on meta-page for the extension?) would always be better. /André André Costa | GLAM-tekniker, Wikimedia Sverige | Andre.Costa(a)wikimedia.se | +46 (0)733-964574 Stöd fri kunskap, bli medlem i Wikimedia Sverige.

In the next 24 hours or so, most of our major user-facing changes will be merged and ready to localize. About 10-15 languages are 80% or better on translatewiki already, so many are close. The more the better! Our current plan is to launch initially on all Wikipedias where localization is complete (or close to it, 90% or better is ideal). That will likely happen soon after our current iteration of work ends on February 5th, though I will keep people posted. Please let me know if you have any questions, 1. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GettingStarted 2. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Onboarding_new_Wikipedians -- Steven Walling, Product Managerhttps://wikimediafoundation.org/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-ambassadors mailing list Wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors _______________________________________________ Wikitech-ambassadors mailing list Wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors _______________________________________________ Wikitech-ambassadors mailing list Wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors

Hi Steven, I see that GettingStarted and GuidedTours are enabled on wikis mentioned here https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/111460/ but they are not working on elwiki (not reported on Special:Version). Also, although GuidedTours are working on the rest of the wikis I try to visit Special:GettingStarted and there is "no such special page" even in enwiki, although I see edits tagged as made through the system. Am I missing something, or it should be reported on bugzilla?

See the deployments calendar: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Week_of_February_10th I should also note there is one issue related to several non-English Wikipedias, where some button text may cause wrapping of the GettingStarted overlay. It's https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61055. This kind of increased length of text in non-English languages is something of a perpetual problem. In addition to figuring out how to improve this one interface, I hope we can find ways to make our UI more fluid, potentially via something like setting different styles for individual languages. -- Steven Walling, Product Manager https://wikimediafoundation.org/
