Missing template for Biography

At the end of a category (Buildings, Culture, Geography, etc.) there is a template for navigating to '<category> Intertranswiki by language'. The template is formatted as '{{:Intertranswiki/<category>}}', e.g 'Intertranswiki/Buildings' gives:Intertranswiki/Buildings

This template appears to be missing for Biography (i.e, `Intertranswiki/Biography` is not defined: {{Intertranswiki/Biography}}). However the 'Biography' category is defined by default in the header. Tule-hog (talk) 02:00, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

(i'm savvy enough to express the issue, but not enough to find the remedy! apologies) Tule-hog (talk) 02:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

(as an aside observation, it appears Russian is the only Intertranswiki with the Biography category page created.) Tule-hog (talk) 02:10, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Copyvio reminder regarding translated articles

For those editors who are reviewers of articles translated into EN-WP, see this new comment/instruction/friendly reminder at WP:NPP: Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers#Copyvio reminder. --Rosiestep (talk) 16:15, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Edit Summary when using the Wikipedia translation tool

Hi Runab WMF. I do a lot of WP:NPP. In that role, I reviewed 2 articles today written by Commontater. One was a translation from German Wikipedia and the other was a translation from Hebrew Wikipedia. The Edit Summaries didn't comply with Help:Translation, so I brought it to the editor's attention here so they would know for next time. The editor replied that they assumed the appropriate Edit Summary would occur when using the Wikipedia translation tool. That makes sense to me, but I wanted to check in with you as I haven't used the Wikipedia translation tool for years and I don't know what the Edit Summary prompt looks like. Hoping you could give us feedback on this issue. Thanks. -- Rosiestep (talk) 21:07, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello @Rosiestep - Thank you for bringing this up. After checking the edit history of the article it looks like the page may not have been created with the Content Translation tool as it is missing the tag that is automatically added to new pages created with it. The edit summary format is also different. For reference, the current format can be seen in this other article that was created recently. The ContentTranslation (or ContentTranslation2) tag is automatically generated and should have been in the edit history. Perhaps we could confirm with @Commontater the process they had followed while translating this page to figure out what might have happened? Curious to learn more about this. Runa Bhattacharjee (WMF) (talk) 11:00, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply, Runab WMF. I see the translation tags as part of the Edit Summary for this article, Roswitha Hartl; the tags address the use of the tool. But I don't see Content in this edit is translated from the existing German Wikipedia article at [[:de:Roswitha Hartl]]; see its history for attribution., which I thought was required for addressing attribution. Help? --Rosiestep (talk) 11:49, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

This page about Hama bar Ukva which I translated does seem to have the appropriate edit summary. The article on Ḥiyya bar Ami mentioned by @Rosiestep also seems to have it. So if there is an error it must be in the way I created some pages, rather than the tool. I was not aware of this guideline, so it is very likely I unintentionally translated pages without adding it. I will try to do better in the future. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Commontater (talk) 18:07, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

OKA taskforce created

Hey everyone (in particular @Ipigott, @Rosiestep and @Mathglot),

As discussed above, I have created a taskforce for OKA at Wikipedia:WikiProject Intertranswiki/OKA. I have added a short intro, useful links, and some instructions for how IntertransWiki editors can help us review AfC articles. Feel free to adjust anything (description, setup, etc.) and add your name in the active members if you are interested. I don't have much experience with WikiProjects so I would also suggestions in how to improve the setup.

Hopefully we can move any OKA-related discussion in the future to the talk page of the OKA taskforce. Should we also move all the OKA related discussions from this talk page there?

7804j (talk) 19:10, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Also, do you think we should create a link to the OKA taskforce from the homepage? I don't see any obvious place where to fit it; perhaps we could put OKA as a "Partner" in the "Members section", and also link the taskforce in the "See also" section 7804j (talk) 19:13, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, 7804j. In my opinion, yes, it makes sense to:

• move OKA-related discussions from this talkpage to the OKA Task Force talkpage;
• link to the OKA taskforce from the homepage;
• link the taskforce in the "See also" section.

Also, in my opinion, at the top of this section, Wikipedia:List of paid editing companies#Open_Knowledge_Association_(OKA), add a link to the OKA Task Force page. --Rosiestep (talk) 19:28, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Done! Thanks for the suggestions 7804j (talk) 20:18, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
