Hi, I am very little into tech - I am an admin at Wikimedia Commons and Urdu Wikipedia, and volunteer as a translation admin across several projects. I am part of the VRT-permissions team, and have global-renamer rights.

I have been looking around this since my conversation with Gopavasanth at Wikimedia Technology Summit in Hyderabad. It is a good start. Has there been any improvement since then?

@Hamishcn, a resized version of the logo has been uploaded. Could you please take a look if it works?

I am re-opening this task given that it doesn't appear to work. Having updated to the latest master branch from Git/ran update.php commands as well - it doesn't seem that the files are being marked as used. For example: this and this. I have also tried removing the residuals of the previously installed extension and then purging - it doesn't seem working. Could you please take a look and see what is missing? Both of the files are used here.

@Samwilson , do we have anything new in this?
@Samwilson , I don't think a two-column display would do any good (3 might be an idea to try). I feel we should try with the same format as it comes on the desktop view.

Since WMAU skin does not look like regular Wikimedia skins, we can use any extension that allows enabling comments at the bottom of any given article. However, by default, I am not sure if pages such as About, and others, require any kind of public comments through a talk page, or even generic comments at the bottom.

Please find the community consensus here.

I have initiated a local Village pump discussion and will get back here once there appears to be a community consensus.

The note by Base makes sense. The number of active admins on ur-wiki has fallen below 7 (afaics). Please consider this request withdrawn. We might revisit this at a later time.

The removal of administrator flag would remain subject to community discussions, and a crat' should be able to do that. ur-wiki is not that much small wiki. I could see successful local discussions for CU's such as this, but I'm not sure why Urdu Wikipedia doesn't have any CU yet.

Although I agree with @Pols12 that translation admins are not supposed to be translation reviewers but I feel it to be alright if they have ability to mark translations as "published", for example, in the languages that they know. I know Urdu and if I believe a translation is perfect and should me marked as published, I should be allowed to do it, instead of me waiting for someone else to do it, stewards? I am not sure if we have one knowing Urdu language.

@Ladsgroup, could you please make this mailing list as a private one? Over the last few months, we have had some discussions internally and we felt that keeping the list private would serve us in a better way.

@matmarex, I checked out with what you said in b and I see that I've similar options opted in both 1 and 2. When I checked the same with clicking the "keyboard like button" in scenario 1, it displayed "Use personal keyboard is active". The same is with discussion tools. I am sorry for not understanding Does the "ENG / IN" layout indicator change to reflect the Urdu input when that happens? In scenario one. I am able to write in Urdu without having to change from ENG/IN to Urdu but this doesn't work on the other areas that I have indicated. I'd definitely ask some other friends to check with this and see if the face this problem as well or is it just me.
If you can take a look at these images, you might be able to notice what I am asking for. We do not face such issues while writing articles or posting on talk pages by going through the "edit" option. Without having to change the keyboard layout from English to Urdu, we by default are able to write as such with a phonetic keyboard as I indicated in scenario 1 above, and also shared an image. I don't feel this is an issue with translations.
@matmarex, what I mean is that if I directly post a message using "edit" button at the top of any page, I am able to write in Urdu without having to changing my system's keyboard layout etc. from English to Urdu. However, this doesn't happen with posting a message by option "New section" button. In that if I want to write in Urdu language, I have to change my system's keyboard layout to Urdu unlike the first scenario. That's to say, if Urdu language can be typed without having to change the keyboard stuff (scenario 1) why is there a problem in the scenario two?

I just faced this again on Wikidata. This shows Invalid value for parameter mcgroup.

Hmm, I did encounter this bug much earlier than you but I wasn't in hurry to bring this to Phab and instead asked @Pols12 that what went wrong. Waiting for a while sorted out all the problems even without purging the cache. That's to say, this was perhaps a temporary bug.

Given the criteria set forth by AffCom, I'm currently taking this request down and will come back on this once we feel we are ready for this. Thanks!

I got a follow up from MKaur and she said that, AffCom is actively passing an internal resolution on process related to such requests. You will hear from them soon.
Jul 23 2022
@Ladsgroup You're right but I'm not able to understand why AffCom is moving away from the discussion. The email I had sent them received a weird response in a language that I don't know. Let me reproduce it here for you:

I received a follow up from AffCom's Twitter handle. The response is from Camelia who says, "Hello, AffCom never managed the sites or had any decision making on this. And as the discussion went on that thread, only in the past chapters had this." But, I'm still waiting for MKaur's response because she just said two days back that she commits to sharing the update in the coming week. Lets see what happens. My question on this much is that, when AffCom had no decision making in this, why are we forcing them to have any?
Jul 16 2022
MKaur has said that she will follow up with AffCom on Monday and commits to sharing the update in the coming week.
@Dereckson, following our conversation on Meta-Wiki, here is the request. Please let me know if you need any further information. Once the wiki is created, please make me the initial bureaucrat. Thanks!

It has been around a week since this proposal was posted on the village pump of Urdu Wikipedia, at https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/ویکیپیڈیا:دیوان_عام/تجاویز#ویکی_بان_اور_آبشاری_حفاظت_کے_حامل_صفحات

Do we have any update on the request?

Nonetheless, I'm also unable to change protection of that page that I've linked above and that's just cascade-protected but semi-protected on its own? How do we see that? Shouldn't protect be enough here then? Troubling issue indeed.
