We can change MediaWiki:Uploadtext/fr like fr:MediaWiki:Uploadtext ! Vivi-1(fr)Bla ? 15:58, 20 December 2013 (CET)

Request for permission[edit | edit source]

Actually, we need to import some Gadgets from fr.vikidia, to create some System messages, and to import some filters. If nobody sees objection there, I can manage that task before we open the Wiki (I already had to manage this on IT and RU, and I'm already a global abusefilter).

That's a good idea! Super10 (talk) 20:15, 20 December 2013 (CET)

Totally for, there are also a lot of things to put in MediaWiki space, it would be nice to have some temporary administrators. Rome2 (talk) 10:28, 22 December 2013 (CET)

Disturbance[edit | edit source]

Sorry for the recent disturbance due to a namespace naming issue. I'll assume your wrath. Linedwell (talk) 15:36, 21 December 2013 (CET)

Die. NOW! Vivi-1(fr)Bla ? 15:37, 21 December 2013 (CET)
Let me finish fixing my bullshit and after, OK, I'll die. Linedwell (talk) 15:43, 21 December 2013 (CET)
Well, it's done, with some "bonuses". Now you can kill me. Linedwell (talk) 16:34, 21 December 2013 (CET)

Bandeau ébauche[edit | edit source]

Bonsoir à tous les deux. Veuillez excuser l'utilisation du français, mais mon anglais est trop limité pour l'utiliser efficacement. Vu le peu de lignes sur chaque article (déjà 24 !) pourrier vous créer un modèle ébauche (générale pour le moment) comme sur fr.Vikidia et signaler où on pourra le trouver ? Merci. Et bon courage pour le travail d'accouchement. N'oubliez pas pour autant les fêtes de fin d'années que je vous souhaite joyeuses.--Alexandrin (talk) 19:51, 21 December 2013 (CET)

Singular or plural category name ?[edit | edit source]

Hello, I just saw that we have categories with singular name (Category:Animal) and others with plural name (Category:Countries). We should (while we do not have too many categories) decide to use just one of those two formats. Just for comparison, English Wikipedia (and Simple English) use the plural, but it's not mandatory to do the same. Regards, Linedwell (talk) 10:18, 22 December 2013 (CET)

No idea, but I think singular is better that plurial because it is the same in fr. Super10 (talk) 10:22, 22 December 2013 (CET)
I tend to use the singular but then maybe we should get closer still English wiki. Rome2 (talk) 10:33, 22 December 2013 (CET)
It is better to follow the English use.En.Vikidia is for English contributors. So plural name.--Alexandrin (talk) 11:35, 22 December 2013 (CET)
We should not use plural. Southparkfan 21:07, 22 December 2013 (CET)
Southparkfan why ? The argument of the English language wiki (en.wp and simple.wp) practice or custom sounds valuable to me. Astirmays (talk) 22:00, 22 December 2013 (CET)
I also tend to plural names, beacause en.vikidia is supposed to be edited (in essential part) by english contributors, with their own habits. Linedwell (talk) 05:46, 23 December 2013 (CET)
 Done, I renamed almost all categories to a plural name. Linedwell (talk) 06:25, 23 December 2013 (CET)

Starting of en.vikidia.org and next points to fix[edit | edit source]

Hi there,

Nice that you came to help on strating en.vikidia !! Several of you are very used to the wikis and to Vikidia especially (or WikiKids.nl !) So we'll certainly be good on quickly setting a good frame for this wiki !

I think that they will be a few points to fix, both presently and when this wiki will be really open. I personally think especially to the way we will deal with Simple English Wikipedia. You may read this page on that topic, which remained quite open on the possibilities. This wiki being open outside the Wikimedia movement, the option #2 and #4 are no longer possible. It remains the #1: starting the content from scratch and #2: reuse a part on the Simple English material.

I think that just a small part of the SEWP articles should be used and imported on en.vikidia : maybe 2 ; 5 % or at most 10 %. The other can be very short, on subject of little use (such as very small places) or not really adapted to children. Still I think that there is some valuable articles to have on en.vikidia, that could help a lot this wiki to get a reasonable size in a reasonable time, and so to get ("recruit") new users that would have known this wiki as readers. Still we would have to select these articles properly and rework them if necessary.

Do you know well SEWP ? What do you think of its articles? How much of them do you think are good, would fit and be useful on en.vikidia? I'm trying "Show any page" ; I think that we don't need http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greensboro,_Alabama , but (harder to find a good and usefull article) that http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sea may be imported here. What do you think about it ? Astirmays (talk) 23:14, 22 December 2013 (CET):

I don't speak English fluently so I write in French language. Il faut en effet se servir des articles de SEWP. Il convient de faire la liste de ceux qui nous seraient utiles (dans un premier temps que les spécialistes de fr.vikidia dans chaque domaine, dressent cette liste). Pour cela il seraot nécessaire d'ouvrir une page spéciale comme dans fr.vikidia (articles que vikidia doit avoir). Mais il faudra cependant élaguer les article SEWP car il y a des informations non nécessaires. J'ai tenté le coup avec christmas ce qui est de saison.--Alexandrin (talk) 10:17, 23 December 2013 (CET)
