Start the project

Phoebe2220, Bahati11, Muffy, Heart of Mist and Gstar: Hello everywone ! Can you help me to organize the project ? I started the project's page, but I think it needs to be corrected I'm not English, so I'm sure I did some faults... Thank you very much !! Little swallow (talk) 17:19, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

Little swallow So me neither and I make stupid mistakes that I wouldn't make in French (like the little weights) but are we allowed to "copy", just a little bit, the project in French? Heart of Mist (t@lk ?) 08:18, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Heart of Mist: I don't think that forbidden... We can find inspiration in the project in French . It's just I'm so none at English wikicode Little swallow (talk) 14:58, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Little swallow: I didn't quite understand the translation of your message...You mean you don't like wikicode? Heart of Mist (t@lk ?) 07:50, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

No, I said I'm si bad at English wikicode, for the moment. Little swallow (talk) 08:08, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Little swallow: Ah, sorry. But you're good at french wikicode ? Heart of Mist (t@lk ?) 11:39, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Start the first ?

Gstar and Heart of Mist: Hi ! Do you want to start the first VikiCollab ? Do you have a preference about the topic of the articles to create ? Little swallow (talk) 17:43, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

I'm unsure. Feels like just about everything, haha. Gstar (talk) 18:10, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Well, I would say that we should already create portals, categories, templates and infoboxes to help us, and then we could start thinking about the theme. Heart of Mist (t@lk ?) 08:14, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Heart of Mist and Gstar: Yeah, I think Heart of Mist is right, it can be easier if we start by creating portals and categories. But do we have to ask before the creation of portals, like in the French wiki ? Little swallow (talk) 14:58, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

I think there's more autonomy here, i.e. freedom to make as desired. Gstar (talk) 16:10, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Gstar: Okay, thanks. I think we can create some portals, like about First and Second Mondial War, portals about different contries (England, USA, France, etc...), literature for young people, canines, felines... Heart of Mist: and Gstar, what do you think about that ? We can create those portals, but after, we have to find or create articles witch can belong to them. I don't know how create catgories ^^' but I agree to create templates. Little swallow (talk) 17:02, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Since the wiki has so much to do all around, I plan to be a "freelancer" like what I've been doing to make the wiki more in line with the French wiki. For instance, I retired the Internet article from Simple English Wikipedia to translate the one from the French wiki instead. Gstar (talk) 19:04, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

-- Gstar: Okay, that's a good idea. But there are so much articles in the French wiki, I think I'll create articles about one topic, like a French portal... I don't know if it's understandable. Little swallow (talk) 08:55, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

So Portal:France content? Gstar (talk) 11:27, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Gstar: For example. I wanted to say create articles depending on the articles in the portals of the French wiki. One portal at a time. Sorry, it wasn't very undrestantable ^^' Little swallow (talk) 12:29, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

No worries. I just said I'm all over the place. Gstar (talk) 16:41, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Okay ! ^^ Little swallow (talk) 20:50, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Little swallow: Hey ! Petite Hirondelle ! j'avais pas réalisé !And if not, how do we divide up the tasks? Heart of Mist (t@lk ?) 07:48, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Heart of Mist: Lol ! C'est quoi ton pseudo sur le wiki français, je t'ai pas reconnue ^^ I think we can choose some topics, create the portals and categories about those topics, and then create articles. I tried to create a portal, but I abandoned because it was very bad, I didn't understand how doing that Good night ! Little swallow (talk) 20:41, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Little swallow:Tu vas rire ! Moi c'est Banana66* ! J'ai fait un renommage. We could already list the models that we would use to make a portal in English and if it's too complicated, we just have to ask real English people to take care of it and we'll make the sketches and banners... Heart of Mist (t@lk ?) 05:20, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

-- Heart of Mist: OMG, I didn't reconized you ! I'm really happy to collaborate with you ! I agree your idea. Personally, I think I will work in the literature portal, and perhaps in the movies portal. What do you think about that ? What do you want to do ? Little swallow (talk) 06:42, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Little swallow: I make (? sorry I speak english a little) the portal on felines and seaside resorts...if that suits you... Heart of Mist (t@lk ?) 17:30, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Heart of Mist: Of course ! Personnaly, I think I can help for felines, but I don't know anything about seaside resort ^^' I think I'll work in the portal about canines too. Little swallow (talk) 14:21, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Little swallow:I'm fixated on my little seaside resort of love, don't worry. So for you it's OK. Gstar: ? Heart of Mist (t@lk ?) 18:40, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

sorry and help

Heart of Mist: Hi ! I'm sorry, I didn't contribute a lot last months... I wanted to create the felines portal, but I don't know how doing that with the wikicode... When I want to copy the code of an other portal, I read This portal uses a template for each section. You shouldn't edit this page directly, but the appropriate template and if I try to copy, it doesn't work. Do you know how can I do correctly a new portal ? Thank you very much ! Little swallow (talk) 17:14, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

I believe you'll want to use the source of Template:Meta portal banner to construct a new portal. Gstar (talk) 17:29, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

Gstar: Thank you ! But I wanted to create the whole portal, and not only the banner... Do you know how can I do that ? Thanks ! Little swallow (talk) 09:47, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Little swallow: You could try using Portal:Countries as a basis to start out with. Gstar (talk) 18:50, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Little swallow: Sorry, I wasn't active... Heart of Mist (t@lk ?) 05:31, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

No worries. If you'd like, I can help fix the portal for you. Gstar (talk) 09:37, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Gstar: Yes, I'd like. Thanks Heart of Mist (t@lk ?) 16:13, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Heart of Mist: Take a look here! :) Gstar (talk) 15:42, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Gstar: Thank you very muuuuch ! You are very good at english wikicode (if this sentence is English...). See you, Heart of Mist (t@lk ?) 16:56, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

No prob, lemme know if you need help with anything else. Gstar (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
