User:Fête Phung

Hello, just to inform administrator that I just blocked User:Fête Phung. This user is well-known on the French Wiktionary (see that for this case) and this page for the history. Here he created three pronunciations by "inventing" and misnaming them. I did not try to discuss with him since we have already tried several time in the past on the French Wiktionary.

Thanks Pamputt! As this is the first known vandal on Lingua Libre, I think we have reached a kind of milestone? :D

Just a reminder for later of the 3 steps to follow when we detect a vandalism:

• Block the user;
• Nominate the audio recordings for deletion on Commons;
• Delete the wikibase items of those records locally;

Best regards — 0x010C ^~talk~ 00:06, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

You are right. I wanted to inform first the community before asking for the deletion on Commons. This is now done. I will delete the item here once the deletion will be done. Pamputt (talk) 04:55, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Give Eavqwiki the right to edit protected pages

Hi,

Eavqwiki would like to edit some special pages, like the Home page to add some useful content. Would it be possible to grant him the necessary rights? Thank you Xenophôn (talk) 13:25, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Done by Pamputt, thanks to him! — 0x010C ^~talk~ 13:47, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

@Pamputt hello. Shouldn't we grant Titodutta or the Marathi leader administrative rights or mentor him/them to become admins this year. We gave adminship to few French folks based on very occasional need. I think It would be right, for community building, to raise one or two leading Indians contributors and start to share our admin know-how on Gadgets and others tools.

@Titodutta , are you ok to get sysop right here? Pamputt (talk) 19:27, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

• Hello User:Pamputt and User:Yug, I am ok to get the right. Thanks for considering. I am a sysop on English Wikipedia since 2015 (verify) and I am aware of the admin tools. Regards. --টিটো দত্ত (Titodutta) (কথা) 11:52, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Nice. Technically, there are IMHO few key differences here :

• Gadgets: (1) to import languages from Wikidata, (2) to hide the overflow noise of audio-recordings
• Managing a wikibase : Qid articles and properties, more like Wikidata.
• Emerging bots : while Commons handles a very diverse set of media by type and topics, we manage 100s thousands of very similar files —audio, same naming convention, same properties—. Those files need to be spread on various wikis. This regularity and outreach needs makes the faster raise of bots on this wiki both a natural slop and a need.

Others you already know about them: managing contributors, Record Wizard to explain, lists, babel templates, etc are rather like on Commons and the Upload Wizard. Yug (talk) 12:29, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Main Page in Catalan

I have translated the Main Page to Catalan. Please, move the pages Special:PrefixIndex/User:Vriullop to MediaWiki name space. Once done, please delete my subpages. Thanks in advance. --Vriullop (talk) 18:00, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Done. You can know visit Lingua Libre in Catalan :) Pamputt (talk) 19:02, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Page User:Project-discover/ca is in a wrong namespace, no worries. I missed MediaWiki:Mainpage-credit/ca:

<small>''Foto: [[:File:Wikipedia mini globe handheld.jpg|Wikipedia mini globe handheld]], Lane Hartwell, Wikimedia Commons.''</small>

Finnally, there is a typo in MediaWiki:Mainpage-principle/ca, my fault. Instead of la oralitat it should be l'oralitat. --Vriullop (talk) 16:23, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

I think that everything is good now :) Tell me if you see something else. Pamputt (talk) 17:21, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Template:LangSwitch

Hello administrators, some French speaking admins
I only come to this site now, but it was a bit empty, so I added Template:LangSwitch (and its redirection Template:SwitchLang, Module:LangSwitch and Module:No globals. I think it would be more prudent to protect them like on multilingual WM projects: full protection (admin only - high-risk).
I would also like to thank User: Lyokoï for letting me know about this GREAT tool.
