[Wikidata-l] Wikidata weekly newsletter translation
by Bohdan Melnychuk 30 Jul '14

30 Jul '14

Hello, I want the subject's mailing list to be translatable and delivered the same way as it's with Tech news. I've asked about it on it's subscription page's talk page and faced there Lydia, who doesn't believe that there would be any volunteers (except for me in the current point) to translate it. So if you would like to translate the newsletter when it would be set to be possible, could you leave a note in [[:m:Talk:Global_message_delivery/Targets/Wikidata#Multilingual distribution … [View More]

To do this, I would like as many of you as possible to send me a photo of yourself - … [View More]

[Wikidata-l] Monolingual text and old languages
by David Cuenca 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

Hi, Will the monolngual text datatype support old languages? There are settlements that had an "official name" in a now dead language. Besides of "no language", will there be an option to mark such names as "custom" and use the qualifier "language (p407)" instead? Thanks, Micru
